I initially thought, that this was just a problem unique to the very device I was holding in my hands...But I was wrong. ALL devices connected to my OC200-managed EAP225 show this behavior. They "lose internet access" for a brief period of time...And this occurs multiple times an hour. To EVERY SINGLE device, connected to this Single-Access-Point-WiFi, mind you... A configuration fault perhaps, I thought. After consulting this TP-link forum, I disabled feature after feature that some users in this forum alluded to as potentially being problematic. So I ended up with the most mundane WiFi configuration, which was:

I'm not sure what's happening on your end, but it sounds like major interference. I had this happen at one site with mesh enabled. Mesh disables the AP's ability to scan for alternate channels. Admittedly, I had to change the channel of the AP that had the extremely high utilization to a non-standard channel (channel 4) and the network is back to 200/200 with no choppiness. There could also be something going on with your switch. Personally, I don't like TP-link switches and tend to opt for the older dell PowerConnect. I have not had any of the problems you are describing at two different sites using two different routers. One site uses an EdgeRouter X, and the other uses TP-Link's newer router ER605 V1. I haven't experienced anything that you are describing. I only use the EAP 225's because they provide more than enough bandwidth, the EAP245 is only good for very dense areas. It sounds like come kind of configuration error on either the controller, switch, router or a combination. I have an omada system installed in my home with an ERX, powerconnect 2824, and the software controller with 2 EAP-225's with 1 connected via mesh and an EAP 115 and I have never had a problem with them.


BubbaW I'm not sure who told you it is lot's of devices on the IOT network, but I can tell you they're not correct. I currently have 38 IOT devices connected to my IOT network with a total of 48 devices connected to my home network. I have a total of 45 devices on the WiFi. Those IOT devices do not cause interference or a large network utilization. Each EAP225 can handle about 150-250mbps on the 2.4 Spectrum. I highly doubt that those devices are causing your issue because there is no way they are using that much of the network. The AP's themselves could be causing interference with each other. Omada especially with mesh enabled likes to put the AP's on the same 2.4ghz channel. This alone causes a lot of interference, so I'd recommend changing the 2.4 ghz channel for the AP that has the highest utilization. My issue was interference, and if you have mesh enabled, the omada software can't automatically change to the optimal channel. If that doesn't work, make sure the switch negotiated the uplink speed correctly, if not the AP will think it only has what the ethernet channel can provide. If you have a windows laptop, I'd highly recommend downloading InSSIDer, as this will give you a full picture of what signals may be interfering with the network.


schoenerwissen Sehr geehrter Herr SchönerWissen, your post is very long and addressing every point would be even longer post. I am pretty new to Omada and this is why your post is interesting to me. I am using tp-link since the existance of tp-link, the story of this company is interesting, especially if you look in their beginner time. I know many people who simply bought tp-link devices as youths and were selling/installing those devices. They could live from that and actually did a good thing by installing and connecting families to the internet which would either have no knowledge how to do it or simply had not enough financial strenght for some decent business hardware. What I am trying to say here is that tp-links strategy also did a lot of good by simply offering cheap and working devices. I find it a little bit unfair when you claim they used the cheapest, that way expressed is wrong, their consumer devices defined as low-budget were by miles cheaper than other devices with same chips, you can not compare low-budget product with enterprise class.


When you mention that your suggestion was TP-Link and your colleagues looked at you, imagine what happened when I suggested TP-Link with openwrt, I still do not know what caused more scare, tp-link or openwrt but am of impression it was openwrt.






What I have noticed is that the green light blinks on and off every 5 seconds or so constantly. The manual says this means the AP is updating the firmware, but I have let this run for over an hour and it just blinks and never becomes solid green.


Thanks for responding Jonathan. Maybe I'm missing something. I went to the link you gave me and my AP does not appear. I do see a + Add Hardware controller option. I don't think I need to do that though as that is for adding a controller.


I'm not running anything other than connecting the AP to my router. No Omada Server application and no OC-200. Is this needed? From what I saw on Youtube and read in the instructions, I didn't need any of this. I checked my router and the AP doesn't show up. No leased IP and no devices with the AP's MAC address showing. The AP continues to blink green ecery 4-5 seconds.


For others coming from 3.2 you can use the link below to migrate your config. Note, you'll have to reconfigure any ACLs or captive portals you have setup since they won't migrate. You also have to make sure that the paths for your data, work and logs folders all point to a single disk and not a share. In my case I'm using /mnt/cache/.


Being able to support more than 1,000 users simultaneously with 5,000mbit WiFi channels is good, but if the AP can only link to other infrastructure, and by definition the Internet, at 1Gbit or even 2.5Gbit, then this is the very definition of a bottleneck.
