I had a client call this morning - they report slow and ‘on/off’ internet this morning. Looking at the AP Performance chart, they (and two others) have lots of ‘Downlink Capacity Packet Drops’, whereas everyone else has none. There are 18 SM’s on this 300L AP, and no one else has reported anything.
The downlink signals of those three connection are:
-68, -65, -55
The ‘Downlink Frame Time’ is usually 8-12%. I also upgraded to 4.6.1-RC26 this morning to see if that would squash any issues, and I don’t see that made a difference on this client.
Of course, I don’t know that their issue is related to the ‘Downlink Capacity Packet Drops’ at all… just that they are the -55 signal, and they are reporting an issue (which could be their router rebooting for all I know) and then I saw these unusually high packet drops.
