Disconnected EAP doesn't adapt after PC restart / High TX Frames
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Greetings,
Omada Software Controller used to adopt EAP immediately whenever i restart my PC, now i have to reinstall the software to adopt it. Also i'm having issues with TX Frames usually 60% to 86% with 3 to 11 users is there anything i can do to reduced it? Does having high TX Frames affects latency such as having lag spikes? My Internet speed is 100mbps and i used this EAP for voucher business
2.4ghz Wifi Settings: (Only using 1 SSID)
20mhz
1,6,1 Channel unless crowded i used RF scanner to find better one
Tx Power is on medium
Hey, lot of points in there so hopefully will be able to help you address them

Check your Windows Firewall isnt blocking ports 29810 - 29813, could be when its re-installing its enabling those ports in windows firewall.

Sounds like a very flooded airspace, sadly you are not alone! Mines is constantly around the 60% mark all day. Outside of buying another 115 outdoors and sticking it on a different channel.. The only thing you can do is use something like WiFi Analyser for Android to see what channels are the best for you. As you are on 2.4ghz its likely flooded on nearly all channels, we all have the same issue
Try if you can move to channel 12 or 13. Although not perfect, sometimes found them the best when the airway is flooded. Only 1 6 and 11 dont overlap, 13 is far enough away it is sometimes a good choice, but honestly this isnt one you are going to win.
To be frank, if you are looking to have 11 devices on this actively then 2.4ghz isnt a good choice for you. I would recommend looking into a newer model with 5ghz support and band steering. Ideally you want as many of those devices as possible steered to the 5ghz, in practice today 2.4ghz is simply too flooded for acceptable daily use at that capacity.
Does having high TX Frames affects latency such as having lag spikes? My Internet speed is 100mbps and i used this EAP for voucher business
Yes it does. High TX frames means a lot of airtime is already used by sending data, therefore clients get less time "talking" and more time "waiting", this is latency / LAG
Anything above 40% utilisation is classified as HIGH, at 60%+ its would be massively impacting performance. I would estimate with that level of noise on 2.4ghz you are unlikely to ever fully utilise the 100mbps connection you have.
I genuinely recommend you consider a dual band AP, something like the newer 225 outdoors. Enable Band Steering so it can force as many clients as possible to the 5ghz, performance overall will be greatly improved.
Look at my screenshot above for example. I have one device (smartplug) on the 2.4ghz and 7 devices on the 5ghz. The difference is black and white, noise is likely the neighbours APs
2.4ghz Wifi Settings: (Only using 1 SSID)
20mhz

You can adjust these until the end of time, your best chance is force onto 12 or ideally 13 (if allowed) and leave it there.
Tx Power is on medium
Stick it to High.. it might help drown out the neighbours, certainly wont make it worse!
Best of luck mate
