EAP6110 went crazy, 50% network load, without any client

Hey
maybe I didnt noticed before, but after updating my EAP 610 which is only needed, when I m outside the house, I recognized a 50 to60% usage of 2.4 Band, without even having a client connected
5ghz is fine
after the display issues with my 706w router for some 100mbit devices, i wonder, if this is a new display issue, or if somehow my eap610 is suddenly "compromised"
is there a way to find out the true load, and maybe the reaosn why it shows that load
i cant remember to have seen this ever before
and my eap650 doesnt show that behavior, while connected to 30 devices inhouse
software controller 5.15.24.19

Hi @Chaotix
The utilization displayed on this interface does not refer to the EAP's wireless utilization rate or other metrics. Specifically, it indicates the channel utilization rate of the current band's operating frequency.
This value reflects the real-time wireless environment status of this EAP, and has little correlation with the number of connected wireless clients.
We would recommend that you try to switch to other channels to see if it improves the situation.

You have something nearby that is causing interference. Try changing the channel to see if that helps, the problem could very well be coming from a neighbor.

Maybe, a diagram separating RX, TX and Interferences would help people from mis-interpreting displayed figures.
In my case, I'll change radio settings in 2.4 GHz band (selecting different channels instead of automatic, lowering TX power), the one showing a high TX figure, in nearby APs to see if RX figures significally change.
I'll repoprt my findings here.
Here, AP are about 6 to 8m away from each other, in plenum space over ceiling tiles, in straight corridors in a multi stage.
In one floor, I couldn't detect any AP from above floor so I hope little inter-stage interference.
I often alternate 2 channels in a given corridor and use a different channel pair when crossing a perpendicular corridor.
Due to lack of time, almost all AP are currently left with Auto settings.
