Hi Yannie,

yes, AFAIK channel utilization includes overall traffic even from other APs/clients. But what still puzzles me is that the 5 GHz radio has 0 bytes traffic (not utilization, but traffic sent/received from/by the EAP itself). I'm still testing whether the 5 GHz band at my location has really no traffic. I would have expected some traffic caused by sending the beacon at least, but it seems that management frames don't count as traffic (or there is a bug in the controller software).

Maybe @Fae can enlighten us why the traffic counters for the 2.4 GHz radio show traffic even if no client is connected, while the traffic counters for the 5 GHz radio does not show any traffic?

And while we're at it: this is the type of information I'm missing from TP-Link's Omada Controller User Guide: it would be very helpful to know the exact type of traffic shown as Utilization, Rx, Tx and so on.

In my opinion it's not enough to document in the User Guide what button will enable which function (this is pretty obvious, isn't it?). I would like to read more details about the side-effects a setting has, when to use it and when to avoid it.
