EAP245 Lag spikes and packet loss
Hi!
I have 2 EAP245 connected to a router which also works as DHCP. All is managed by a Windows PC running Omada Controller and connected directly to the router.
The first AP is in the rooms part of the house. There are around 11 to 15 devices connected to it. Mostly laptops, smartphones and tablets and a smart TV.
The second AP is on the living room part of the house. There are 2 to 4 devices connected to it. A console, a printer and sometimes a laptop or smartphone.
Regardless of the distance between the devices and the AP I am having several lag spikes every 5 to 10 seconds and can range from 200 up to even 20000ms.
Here's a graph of the lag spikes pinging to google.com from a MacBook Pro.
Here are the ping results from a MacBook Pro to: 192.168.100.115 (the rooms AP), 192.168.100.1 (the Router) and 192.168.100.116 (the living room AP). Notice how the 2 lag spikes are separated by 10 seconds.
Sometimes the packets get stuck and suddenly appear all in one go with a massive latency time.
I have already tested the connectivity between the APs and the router and it is fine. pinging from the router or the PC to the APs doesn't show any lag spike so it must be an issue with the WiFi part of the network.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
