Apple devices several retries to connect SSID??

Hi,

I've been having this problem for so long.

In the company we have two SSIDs for corporate and guest networks respectively when I try to connect to any of the SSIDs it doesn't happen until 5 retries. The only log I get that seems to be related to it is the following:

*Jun 11 11:48:09.062: %APF-1-DISCONECT_MOBILE_DUE_TO_WLAN_SW: apf_policy.c:541 Disconnecting mobile 00:23:32:73:d7:15 due to switch of WLANs from 1(femsawl) to 2(visitas)

Here it shows a switch between SSIDs but if you just turned on an apple device and try to associate for the first time to any of the SSIDs the scenario is the same, several tries to connect.

Is there any known issues with apple devices.

I am running a 4402 wlc with 6.0.202.0 software version.

I'd appreciate any comments on this.

Kind regards!

Hi Rguzman,

Make sure FAST SSID is enabled on your WLC.
