We have lots of newly provision 7921G in the environment running ver 1.3.4. WPA2/AES/LEAP/CCKM turned on. WLC is on latest 7.0.98.0. The LAN switches are mostly on 2960S or cat4500 with sup6lite. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I have read around but doesn't really find much information on how to troubleshoot this issue. I'm aware that 7921G with version older than 1.3.4 will need to do full reregistration when it roams to the new AP and some roaming issues with older sup engine.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>My colleague actually troubleshoot this issue and he changed the wireless phone to scan for channel 1/6/11 only (on b/g) , we disabled the A as it seems like we have a poor coverage with 802.11a. Customer reported that they tested with 2 phones (one with new setting , one with existing setting), the phone with new setting doesn't suffer any dropped calls at all. I find it too amazing to believe so I'm wondering does anyone have similar experience before? We have other large sites which doesn't suffer this issue. Honestly, I don't think that's going to be the solution as it requires us to drill down into low level configuration and manipulate how the phone to scan for AP in specific channels. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers, <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Ki Wi<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
