Diagnosis

Select one of the failed devices. The following screen indicates the cause of the issue is
Unable to connect to telnet service
. Note that this coincides with
Roam failed
events around the same time.
1
Unable to connect to telnet service

2

Time when problem was detected
2
Still ongoing
Return to the listed events and select one of the
Roam failed
instances.
The following screen shows that within the period of this instance, the device attempts to roam (to a better AP) due to a
Poor Coverage Area
caused by a poor signal combined with poor traffic (packets) performance, which can occur even during a period of successful connection.
Note that shortly prior to the roam, a
Connection Completed
event was followed by
ARP Failed
. This is another indication that in the same area, while the Wi-Fi connection is maintained, the ARP packet exchange with the network fails, corresponding to Telnet failing to send or receive data packets during very poor coverage.
Lastly, there is no evidence of a problem with the roam’s 802.11 management packets between the device and the AP, indicating that the roam occurred due to poor coverage, but was able to complete successfully with no issues. The problem is due to Layer 3 data packets.
1
ARP Failed
while the device is connected.
2
The device tries to roam again to another AP due to the
Poor Coverage Area
. The device shows
Roam Completed (Successful)
but the new AP also creates a
Poor Coverage Area
condition (not shown), indicating the problem is recurring.
