How does wireless mesh work when you use a vlan-id other than 1 for management?
It should work fine. You’ll need to get the meshed AP connected to the controller in order to tell it to use a different native VLAN, however.
Thanks for the reply. I do have it working using my mgmt vlan, vlan-id 100, and a statically assigned ip address within my mgmt vlan, but regardless of it being connected by Ethernet or mesh, when I disable “Fallback upon failure”, I lose connectivity to the unit. The only way to get it back is to perform a factory reset.
Would it be possible for me to get an invite to the site? This way I could take a look at the configuration as it sits right now, ask any follow-up questions, and see if we can’t get you to the end goal.
Sure thing!
Our own @Alta-MikeD was able to reproduce this, sure seems like a bug with the AP6W. We have the devs looking into it now.

Other than this small bug, the AP6W seems solid! I’m powering it using a 12v 12A adapter with no issues. If I were to purchase another one, how would I avoid the second AP6W from connecting to the first AP6W?
You can turn off meshing under the ap settings iirc

Is it possible to turn off Mesh by site?
Hello joelusi,
Disabling/enabling meshing is done per-AP and is not a per-site setting, unfortunately.

ok thank you. Will there be provisions in the future to change by site?
Not to change by site, but there will be a way to do that in bulk with APs eventually.
@Alta-Matt_v2 will this issue be resolved in the near future?
This issue should be resolved in 2.2n. Thank you for reporting it!

I just tested it and can confirm the issue is no longer present. For documentation purposes, Alta may want to update the release notes for 2.2n.

Thanks for the update and fix @Alta-Corbin! Definitely would like the release notes tweaked like @Joe mentioned as well though
