**Conclusion:** gateway/DHCP/DNS/WAN are not bottlenecking the wireless. The 2.4 GHz remediation
|
||||
(power-down + coverage-redundancy disables) remains the correct and sole fix for the client-experience tail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Daytime re-check (2026-06-17, ~09:33, loaded network)
|
||||
|
||||
Post-remediation loaded-network measurement (overnight 6/17: 24 of 76 2.4 radios disabled, 42 set to Low
|
||||
~6 dBm; Floors 5/6 + mesh untouched). Fleet healthy: 77 adopted / 2 disconnected (same known 108 + 1) --
|
||||
**no AP went offline.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Active-radio-only snapshot (09:33, excludes the 24 disabled):** cu_total 67%, cu_interf 48%, clients 105
|
||||
(vs pre-change active cu_total 77% / cu_interf 64%).
|
||||
|
||||
**Time-of-day-controlled hourly (this AM vs same hours yesterday @ full power):**
|
||||
| 2.4 site-wide AM | Yesterday (full) | Today (post) |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| cu_total | 79% | 44% |
|
||||
| cu_interf | 66% | 32% |
|
||||
| retry% | 17.0% | 23.4% |
|
||||
| satisfaction | 39 | 30 |
|
||||
| sta/radio | 2.32 | 2.21 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Mixed result -- read honestly:**
|
||||
- WIN: 2.4 interference/airtime is clearly down (fewer contending transmitters + smaller cells). On the
|
||||
active radios, cu_interf ~64% -> ~48% (snapshot) / 66% -> 32% (morning hourly avg, fewer radios).
|
||||
- CONCERN: **retry rose (17.0 -> 23.4%) and satisfaction fell (39 -> 30)** time-of-day-controlled. Likely
|
||||
OVER-THINNING: Low = ~6 dBm is a 17 dB cut from auto (~23), and with 24 radios also disabled some edge
|
||||
2.4 clients now reach a farther/weaker AP -> more retransmits, lower satisfaction. (Partly composition:
|
||||
fewer 2.4 clients today, so the remaining tail may be the stubborn legacy/far devices.)
|
||||
|
||||
**RECOMMENDATION (needs Howard's go -- this re-check is read-only):**
|
||||
1. Bump the KEPT 2.4 radios from Low -> **Medium** (~12-15 dBm): restores client signal while keeping cells
|
||||
smaller than full power. `apply-radio cascades ng power medium --zone ...` per floor, then re-measure.
|
||||
2. Do NOT expand disables further; consider re-enabling a specific radio if a dead zone/complaint appears.
|
||||
3. Re-measure retry/satisfaction after the Low->Medium bump (same time-of-day) to confirm recovery.
|
||||
The interference goal is met; the lever now is finding the power floor that keeps cells tight WITHOUT
|
||||
starving edge clients. Medium is the likely sweet spot vs the aggressive Low.
