Looking with airodump-ng I see a few beacons sent on the right channel and that it's sending probes on the wrong channels. It seems that this channel hopping looking for AP1 is what breaks AP2. It seems that devices in managed mode disregard the channel configuration. Is there any way to force it? This has been tested on a TP-LINK MR3420 (AR9287) Thanks! -- Horacio J.
