Hi all,
I have build 2 LS2 devices with the newest fw, both configured as ‘AP WDS’, bridge mode, same SSID and same security (WEP).
When I connect with a winxp client to ap1, I can ping Bothe devices. When I roam to the next ap (ap2), I can ping ap2 but connectivity to ap1 is lost (no ping). When I roam back to ap1, ping returns to ap1 but lost to ap2. I looked at the station info on every ap and found the mac address of the winxp client on every ap.
Why, when I roam from AP to AP, the mac stays there and not deleted?
Is there any software I can use to help clean handoff?
Thanks

Try to enable/disable STP in bridge mode.

I have the same problem even with version 3.6.
Client roaming between AP-WDS (root ) and AP-WDS(client) seems not working.
just fine RF link but no update in the MAC Table but no traffic after a roaming switch.
Also a ping wil lost from one to a other AP.

Best regards.
