OC200 Warning Message Meanings?
OC200 Warning Message Meanings?
Hi,
Set up an wifi system in a large house with 7 wifi access points.
Comprises of latest BT Hub connected to network switch (TL-SG2428P) then i have six EAP620HD and one EAP610 and a OC200 controller connected to this.
All seems ok but just wondered what the error warnings are that i'm getting on two of the access points (see photos below)
Top floor office says "High 53%" in red, whats this please?
Lounge says "Busy", whats this please ?
Not getting these messages on the other five access points and i've tried different 2.4G channels (1,6,11) and different 5G channels (36,40,44,48) but warnings still remain.
I have channel width set at 20mhz for both bands and i have tried different TX Powers.
Scanned with an analyser and don't seem to be getting any other wifi signals from neighbouring properties.
Any advice much appreciated. TIA

Hey
Anything under the Device setting itself, I tend to recommend leave as default and let the controller do the work, setting these will override the controller settings for that AP specifically. The exception perhaps being Power Levels if I have a lot of APs (12 or more).. again 90% of time AUTO is fine for most, the controller will do the work
Is this what you are referring to?
If so that is the settings I use above, fiddling here can cause you issues.
The Load Balance is the Non-Controller way of doing this so recommend DONT enable. Basically it works on when you hit 10 / 11 /12 whatever you set clients, roam the rest to a new AP or do this on Signal strength (RSSI). These are old ways of doing roaming, best not using this and let the controller / AI do the hard work. Max Clients moves randomly based on numbers connected, not quality of connection so its a bad idea. RSSI is the opposite, based on signal strengh alone, again not great as it could move you from a being the only user on AP1 to a congested AP2 simply cause the signal is 1% better.. overall it will be a bad move.
As said, personally wouldnt touch these, let the controller do it automatically based on AI and metric.. this is the old way!
QOS is Quality of Service, tools to improve signal and connection. No Acknowledgement basically cuts out part of the connection process between the client and AP, saves bandwidth a tad.. but if you are at the stage you need to use this, you likely have a MASSIVE issue and this aint gonna do jack. Leave this disabled
Auto Power Saving.. well its low power mode when not in use, all devices do it and it works well on all battery based devices (phones, ipads etc) so yeah leave this on
In short... nothing in here you need to change, they are more tools for a very specific problem fixing and could make it worse if mis-used. All disabled except power saving is my option
