First of all Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it.
I now feel stupid. Looks like I've got so lazy that I couldn't even come with the idea of connecting directly with router or via a switch. This would rule out AP / Switch or pinpointed it to a router. Great idea, I'll check it later today and update this thread with my findings.
I've already replaced all ethernet cabling and except 2 AP, OC200 and ER605 there is only a Synology unit connected, so I don't think it's cable related.
Log->Event page has some inputs in there, like:
[Failed]PF25V1XV failed to connected to EAP225_G with SSID "XXX" on channel 6 because WPA Authentication times out/failed.(1 time in a minute)
Jan 24, 2023 20:23:53 - that's the message that I get when there is no internet on the laptop
EAP225_G was disconnected.
Jan 24, 2023 06:23:10
EAP225_G was connected.

That's what I get when I reboot my controller, any EAP gets connected for couple of minutes, than there is a hearthbeat missed and it gets disconnected.
Additionally, there is a lot of this kind of messages:
wlan0 is disconnected from SSID "XXX" on EAP225_G (4m connected, 12.37KB).
Jan 26, 2023 09:38:16

Looks like this only happens for one of the AP, almost in exact same intervals...
that "wlan0" part is a link that allows me to open a device page but there is nothing in there basically - only a MAC address. Is that a LAN interface on EAP225 that is marked as wlan0?
Interesting is that it's the AP that I'm connected to during office hours, maybe I should change the AP with the other one and see if there is any difference.
I do have a Synology box that syncs my photos from mobile devices, but I'm no instagram pro and if I make 2 pictures a week that's a lot!
From the Omada dashboard it looks like I'm not utilising 20% of the bandwidth so I'd assume the up/down stream shouldn't be a problem, but I'll limit the bandwidth just to rule it out.
If I'm getting a lot of packet loss on the router in my internal network I'd assume that this shouldn't be a problem related to ISP, but I'll give them a call later today to check if there is anything on their end that they can see and I'll reset it and check the same way I'll do it with router - I'll just connect directly to see if it's broken.
apple TV or home pod - none of this. I only have some ~1y old Xiaomi TV Box, 2 mobile phones (Samsung), 2 tablets (Samsung), 2 TVs, 2 Roombas and I guess that is it (there are more devices that connect to wifi, but they are mostly off like an oven or washmachine).
regarding that wireshark idea - I'd have to connect to a switch directly, do a port mirroring and copy all the traffic from a port that goes to a router and send it to my laptop and capture everything, right?
Thanks!
