C9800 WLC and 3rd party wireless bridge. Any experience?

PErampas · ‎01-11-2023

We are having massive issues with wireless devices from Yealink.
Neither the manufacturer nor Cisco TAC could help us with connecting them stable to the WLAN. Strangely they worked ok with Aruba, but after the migration to the C9800, they cling to weak access points even when there are several APs with much better reception closer nearby.

An idea would be to test out wireless bridges and use them if they work better.
~~We are running 17.3.6 and it seems there is no official workgroup bridge support in the WLC.~~
Is there a chance something 3rd party could work and if so, does anybody have experience with a specific model?

Ref : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/config-guide/b_wl_16_10_cg/workgroup-bridges.html , have a look at Table 1 and Table 2 ,

Thank you for correcting me, not sure how I did miss this.
But I'm still wondering about 3rd party wireless bridges.
