Has anyone seen issues with packet loss and reliability of a P7 or a P8 board when you force it to hardware scheduling? We are experiencing customers having packet loss and also they go up and down briefly!
All APs upgraded to 7.3.6 HW scheduling. All SM’s are 7.3.6 forced to HW scheduling. All were ok before the force to HW scheduling, now only this AP and these SM’s have the issues.
Here is what they look like from the AP side:

havnt tried forcing HWS yet, but form your sessions, the Nichols one looks like signal problems, the jitter is quite high…
Dont know bout the others though…
Not sure why you are having issues.
For us, after the Advantage AP upgrade, forcing P8 SM’s to HW, and upgrading to 7.3.6 everything seemed much better. The only change before and after was to turn off Transmit Frame Spreading on the 2.4 and 5.7 AP’s.
