Model: EAP225-Outdoor   EAP225  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 5.1.0

Hi All...

 

I have a fiber connection with the ISP (approx 350mbps 7ms ping according to Ookla).

 

4 EAP 225's and about 50 connected users to Omada Hotspot WIFI when it's busy.

(In addition to the 50 users on the Hotspot, I have 6 security cameras, 3 pc's the tv and a couple of phones using my bandwidth)

 

Recently I've found my web page loading time, especially when it is getting busy, is increasing significantly.

 

 

So to help, I put a RJ45 connector in the cable between the Router and the Hotspot Router/Switch- thinking I'm reducing the EAP's overall bandwidth from 1gb to 100mb.

I also reduced the "Rate Limit" on Omada Hotspot WIFI Settings to 30 mbps

 

 

Seems like the RJ45 is working as when I test using Ookla I get reasonable results again but it's still slow to load...

 

So I am wondering whether the REAL problem is really related to poor DNS at the ISP?

 

I'm think I should have enough bandwidth to support all this - anyone point me in the direction of how to fix it or zero in on where the actual problem lies?

 

Thanks

Have you done the speedtest? Is the result normal? 

Tried to change different web browsers, and the private window is the best choice, clear the cache and history.

Tried settings the google DNS on the client devices.

Hello,

 

yes I've changed over to Google DNS 8888 etc today.

 

I've also switched off the EAP's 5ghz so it's only 2.4 ghz for everyone now.

 

It's raining tonight - that always kills demand a bit :)

Do not put all devices in 2.4G band, it is very crowded. If you want, set a separate 5G only SSID for testing.

I don't understand.

 

The EAP 225 has dual antenna 2.4 and 5 - 2.4 max 300mbps 5 max 867mbps - both options were available before - now it's just one.

 

Say I have 10 users on EAP 225 A using the 5g then "in theory" 10x867mbps consumption

 

If they're now forced to use 2.4g doesn't that reduce it to 10x300mbps ?

  @Bebe1980 To pinpoint the actual issue and find a solution, you may want to consider checking with your ISP's DNS settings or exploring other potential network optimizations. This could help ensure smoother web page loading, especially during peak usage times. Good luck!

you need a proper routing and separate the iot eap225 have a bufferbloat. so you need reroute your iot for better speed

  @Bebe1980 you need a Mikrotik as main not TP link based. Mikrotik haplite can scale and can go fine with 120+ device on wifi and 50 wired smoothly can even handle more if you have good managed switches/router

High bandwidth doesn't guarantee fast loading webpages. Here are some possible reasons why your pages are loading slowly despite having a lot of bandwidth:-

 

  1. Slow DNS Resolution:- The Domain Name System (DNS) translates website names into IP addresses. Slow DNS resolution can delay page loading even with high bandwidth. Try flushing your DNS cache or using a public DNS server like Google Public DNS or OpenDNS.
  2. Unoptimized Website:- The website itself might be the culprit.  Common causes include large uncompressed images, excessive scripts, or poorly coded elements.
  3. Browser Issues:- A corrupted browser cache or extensions can slow down browsing. Try clearing your cache and cookies, or testing in a different browser.
  4. Overloaded Device/Network:- If multiple devices are sharing the connection or your device itself is struggling (low memory, outdated OS),  it can lead to slow loading times.
