Hi,


I am using Wifi 6 AP Models from Huawei.


initially, i had issues connecting the latest iPhones to the SSID's and it will take multiple attempts to connect to SSID and there is some loss of packets.


I had adjusted scan-interval to 10000 and it was ok after that.


does anyone know what is th epoint of adjusting scan intervel. what is the purpose of that option?

Hi

Wi-Fi Scanning is an interval is just how often it checks for networks when you aren't hooked to one.


I think that there is no absolute minimum scanning delay. It depends too much on the hardware performances.


For example if you limit it as 4 times in 2 minutes. So you could scan 4 times with 1 second of delay in between. But you would not get any further scan results for the next 126 seconds.

So the fastest interval where every scan is successful would be every 30 seconds.
