Ok, perhaps it's an MTU/fragmentation problem.  Try setting your router's LAN MTU to 1492 or lower (default is 1500) to account for the extra headers used for 802.1q VLANs.  You will need to power cycle your router or reboot it after making this change.

  @d0ugmac1 I am 99% sure the issue is in the firmware of the EAP650s.  When I connect back to a client on the same AP I end up with tons of tcp retransmission errors after the initial connection starts off OK.

 

See this example of trying to SSH to another computer on a different VLAN on the same EAP

 

 

 

or this one trying to run IPERF between the same two PCs

 

 

 

the connection clearly works -- my router is routing the traffic appropriately, but the APs seem to be losing the packets.  I can see the server sending the packets in my router but they never make it to the end device

 

tcpdump of my router during ssh connection: 192.168.92.99 is the server

Dear @treas,

Different brands may have different VLAN strategy. May I know the model number of your Router and Netgear AP?

 

To make the wireless VLAN work properly for Omada EAP including the EAP650, both the Router and the Switch should be VLAN capable.

If the network topology is like "Router (Port1) ----(Port2) Switch (Port3) ---- EAP )))((( SSID1 vlan10, SSID2 vlan20",

Then the Port1, Port2, and Port3 should all have VLAN10 & VLAN20 tagged.

  @Fae the model of my router is Firewalla gold.  The net gear AP I tested was the Orbi Pro AX6000 (SXK80).

 

My router supports 802.1q vlans.  I'm using the tp link jet stream SG200P which has the vlan profiles correctly applied to each port.  The issue is exclusively regarding tcp connections which originate and are routed back to the same access point.  They get dropped by the AP

I purchased an EAP 660 HD to test whether it was specific to the EAP650.

 

I can confirm that everything works fine with the EAP660 HD instead of the EAP650s.  They are running firmware 1.0.5

 

The EAP650s CPU utilization hits about 70% when I try to access the stream, the EAP660 HD hits 3%.  I know the 660 is a high density AP but that's an extreme difference.  It would seem something about this connection is causing huge CPU usage on the 650 specifically.

 

Its disappointing because I much prefer the dimensions of the 650 but it simply does not work for this use case.

I wouldn't have believe it, but ok, firmware it is!  Hopefully they issue a BUG ticket for you and get this resolved. 

 

FWIW I just had my SG2008P beta firmware delivered last night, took about 2 weeks to deliver my fixes...testing now.

  @treas I purchased a few more models

 

620 HD does not appear to have this issue

 

670 does have this issue, you can see the CPU gets pegged to the max:
