Certain client types not connecting to Wifi

Hello,
We have a pair of 5760's stacked with over 500 APs on campus. I've seen a few cases where certain clients cannot connect via mac authentication. These devices are all game consoles (Xbox360, PS3, PS4, Nintendo DS) and a Roku unit. Anyone have ideas on what would be preventing these clients to connect?  My guess is because we have AP multicast enabled to improve performance this is probably preventing certain clients to connect. 
I tried a roku on a stick on a lab 5760 with ap multicast disabled and it connected no problems.

Hi Rasika,
Thank you for those links. The MAC authentication is working and the issue is not the authentication itself but the association to the SSID. I believe it may be due to ap multicast being enabled. 
I plan on doing some further testing and will update my findings on here. We also have an issue with robots that connect to the wireless fine, and although the clients can connect to the robots via ssh, the robots communicate with each other by broadcast traffic which is not being forwarded by the AP. On a lab controller without ap multicast this works fine so it is possible that there's a configuration issue I'm forgetting.

    This problem has only begun recently but when I'm not connected to wifi so out and about, it seems that the only things which work are texts, emails  and the kik app.

  • My ipod touch 5 is frozen on the lockscreen and i cant do anything except restart it and that doesnt hekp. will getting a new screen help? or is there another, less exspensive way? also, it is not connected to wifi.

    I need to fix my ipod and i don't know how, i am hoping that if i leave it alone over night that it will fix itself,
    its on the lock screen and i cant do anything with the screen, i tried restarting it and it didnt work, so because i restarted it, it is not connected to wifi.
    please help.
    will getting a new screen help? or is there an easier, less expensive way?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    There are several steps you can take when troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity on an iPhone and it sounds like you have already done a few of them already. In your situation I would recommend reading over and working through the steps listed in the attached article.

  • IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what

    My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan.  When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening.  Any Help?

    Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier.  Is there any thing I can do to fix it?  I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

    If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
    iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

  • My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. Please help me.

    My new iPhone 5 is not connecting to wifi. I have even updated it to iOS 6.0.2. This is terribly upsetting me. Please help me.

    I Found a solution on another discussion thread, do a hard reset by holding the on/off switch at the same time as the centre button. An apple logo comes up. My iphone 5 had been connecting to my home wifi for months and then for the last 2 months kept telling me the password was incorrect. This fixed it and it connected straight away.

  • My phone keeps coming up not connected to wifi what can i do?

    phone keeps coming up not connected to wifi what can i do?

    Press and hold down the top corner power button and the round home button until you see the Apple then LET GO OF EVERYTHING!!
    let the phone reset and see if it responds, this is a hard reset. -If you continue to have issues you may want to plug into your computer and try restoring.

  • If I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    if I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

    No, but cellular data will be used at whatever international roaming rate you carrier charges for data in whatever country.
    Exchanging iMessages requires the same thing as email - an available internet connection. SMS/MMS is completely separate from iMessage.
