Not much to update other than I switched back to my Unifi APs for a while and now recently tried the ProSafe units again. I factory reset the two WAC730s, deployed the WC7500 and provisioned the same two WAC730s. Using the controller is a much better experience. No waiting for APs to reboot after every configuration change etc.

Hi m_elias,

Let us isolate the problem. Kindly answer the questions below:

a. How are the 2 WAC730 APs deployed? Are they hanging on a side wall or attached to the ceiling?

b. Is there a line-of-sight between the the 2 WAC730 APs?

c. How far are the 2 WAC730 APs from each other?

d. Are there any other wireless networks present within the location of the 2 WAC730 APs?

The NETGEAR Wi-Fi Analytics Android app can be used to identify the local networks surrounding you and determine which channels are congested and which are lesser used. Also, other tools are available depending on your operating system such as inSSIDer.

Additionally what DaneA asked please check the following :-

1. Are you running any Traffic when the delay occurs i.e- this delay you observe when certain type of traffic is on the network? like streaming, multicast etc.

2. Packet capture from brtrunk interface when the issue occurs.

3. Please download the detailed logs from the monitoring page and send us to debug.

Thanks,
