Keeping track of clients and their use
Had my client call the other day and tell me everyone was having slow responses and several people said that they could not maintain their connection to an AP.
Advised client to call Comcast and have them check their service. Interesting results: While when monitoring the network in Omada cloud, I see maybe a maximum of 20 clients at any one time. Comcast insists that there are over 50 connections sucking up all the bandwidth. I have no idea where they saw 50 connections. I never have.
Marina owner tells me that speedtest comes back with an acceptable speed. She says probably bandwidth is used up by all the clients streaming at once.
Even had one client call and tell me that we are probably experiencing a "mesh storm." I had no idea what he was talking about. Neither does Google! He said that is where the various APs keep forwarding clients to each other until all the resources are gone.
I did check the log and notice that occasionally each AP disconnects and reconnects for no apparent reason.
I rebooted each AP (maybe I need to set an auto reboot daily) and enabled Airtime Fairness in the wireless settings.
Any thoughts? Recommendations? Perhaps limitations to impose on each AP or the controller?

@Byteguy Just FYI, this is the root node with the CPE

@Byteguy If the rate is globally set at 10Mbps, does this affect the backhaul or just the client's use?
