Wifi not stable with AP55c

JeffreyJaspers

Hi all,

Last couple of week I repeatedly noticed some problems with the stability of my connections at home. I thought it was my ISP at first, but on further investigation it seems the WIFI connection is but very instable.

I got an AP55c connected to my XG firewall (Version 17.0.6 MR-6). With my laptop or phone connected to WIFI the connection goes from good to bad to gone to good again in seconds. The singal is 100% but the throughput is just bad. I have two SSID's configured. One dedicated to 5GHz the other to 2.4GHz. Nothing fancy is configured on it just WPA2 Personal with AES.

Anyone got the same?

    Hi,

    the problem from my experience is caused by the connecting device going into power saving mode when traffic is very light. I have investigated to a certain level and found the 5ghz ssids the worst. Apple product are notorious for this and it takes awhile before the connection speed ramps up. My printers drop some connection speed but nowhere near what the macs do. The android on 2.4ghz used to do the same thing before I turned it off.

    If downloading for awhile the speed will ramp up. I am waiting for a after internet connection to run further tests.

    Also what are your IPS settings?

    Hi rfcat_vk,

    The devices I tested on show the same problems after they booted up. So I don't think they are in power saving mode at that time, that being said you never know how Windows reacts and I'll setup my laptop to not use power saving on wifi. It is batter to have that turned off anyway. 

    Also in my case downloading big stuff (ISO files or something) does not make it better, some times the download even stops with a "no connection" message. 

    IPS it turned off.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    how does the same download behave when connected directly to the network?
