FortiAP's 221C - after about 1 day i can't connect to 5Ghz, only reboot of alle AP's helps

Hello all, 

 

hat problems with my 9/10 year old Fortigateconfig, so i reconfigured everything new on 6.4.3 per hand. Since the new setup, sometimes i'am not able to connect to 5Ghz on my two 221C anymore. Only a reboot, disable enable 5Ghz/SSID helps. The strange thing is i see the SSID and if connect sometimes the connection works, but with really really poor signal in log of the fortigate. But on the client side it shows me a really good/best signal. 

This day on 08:55 AM all Clients where disconnced. Before that it ran for a few days without any problems. That has been the case a few times now. An update to 6.4.4 didn't help either. FortiAPs are on the last available firmwareversion.

 

here are my AP Configs: 

 

config wireless-controller wtp-profile
    edit "FAP-221C"
        config platform
            set type 221C
        end
        set handoff-sta-thresh 30
        set allowaccess https ssh snmp
        set frequency-handoff enable
        set ap-handoff enable
        config radio-1
            set band 802.11n-only
            set short-guard-interval enable
            set auto-power-level enable
            set wids-profile "osit"
            set darrp enable
            set vap-all manual
            set vaps "bodyguide-dev" "surfen"
            set vap1 "surfen"
            set vap2 "bodyguide-dev"
            set channel "1" "6" "11"
        end
        config radio-2
            set band 802.11ac-only
            set short-guard-interval enable
            set channel-bonding 80MHz
            set auto-power-level enable
            set wids-profile "osit"
            set darrp enable
            set vap-all manual
            set vaps "wlan-bodyguide" "bodyguidemobile" "surfen"
            set vap1 "surfen"
            set vap2 "wlan-bodyguide"
            set vap3 "bodyguidemobile"
            set channel "36" "40" "44" "48" "52" "56" "60" "64" "100" "104" "108" "112" "116" "120" "124" "128"
        end
    next
end

 

config wireless-controller ble-profile
edit "fortiap-discovery"
set advertising ibeacon eddystone-uid eddystone-url
set ibeacon-uuid "wtp-uuid"
next
end

 

config wireless-controller wids-profile
    edit "default-wids-apscan-enabled"
        set ap-scan enable
    next
    edit "my-special-default"
        set ap-scan enable
        set wireless-bridge enable
        set deauth-broadcast enable
        set null-ssid-probe-resp enable
        set long-duration-attack enable
        set invalid-mac-oui enable
        set weak-wep-iv enable
        set auth-frame-flood enable
        set assoc-frame-flood enable
        set spoofed-deauth enable
        set asleap-attack enable
        set eapol-start-flood enable
        set eapol-logoff-flood enable
        set eapol-succ-flood enable
        set eapol-fail-flood enable
        set eapol-pre-succ-flood enable
        set eapol-pre-fail-flood enable
    next
end

It doesn't depend on the SSID. Then I move "surfing" to 5Ghz only, then it doesn't work anymore. So it only affects 5Ghz.

 

Very thanks and best Regards

I have found on the 221B WAP that channel bonding will eventually hose the connections and rebooting is the only resolution. Try removing the channel bonding and see if the problem goes away.

Hello @rwpatterson, thanks for you answer, i've unset the channelbonding, but if i do that only 20Mhz are possible, so very slow network. But ok, i test it the next days. :)

very thanks it works now. 80Mhz is enabled, but all other flags with the channels are disabled.
