The distributed_arp_table is in theory a good solution to reduce connection problems in large networks caused by ARP packet loss. Unfortunatelly, it seems to also break ARP resolution in simple mesh setups. The only solution which seems to be used by AP firmwares seems to be the deactivation of this feature.

Could you please be a bit more specific about the issue you are talking about?

So far the only situation where I personally switched DAT off did not really get fixed and continued to show the issue. Therefore I am not really sure that DAT can be blamed for this.

So far I don't know anybody else who complained about DAT.

Cheers,
