Hey

 

In short, thats 2,4ghz for you!   It could well be a bug in the firmware, but honestly its likely just congestion on the airspace, seen it a thousand times.    Sadly 2.4 can be interfered by virtually anything, not specifically WiFi.   Channel 1 is a known issue as its in the Zigbee range so that interferes.  Bluetooth is also around there somewhere. 

 

In short, if seeing that on channel 1, go to 6 and retry.   It may be worse or better, it aint sadly going to disappear.   In virtually all installations 2.4ghz is totally flooded and should be avoided where possible.   5ghz is usually fine, which it appears so in both your pictures. 

 

More info below, this has been asked load of times on the forums.

The difference is simple, the lower AP does not break out the 'BUSY' information like the upper one does.  In other words

 

RX+TX+INTERFERENCE == BUSY

 

Also the difference between 30% and 40% utilization is not that significant.  If it still looks like that at 3AM...maybe there's something else broadcasting on that frequency that's not part of your network...like a Chromecast, or Wifi Printer, Security cam....

If you are still confused, maybe this solution post can help you:

EAP225 v5 only showing Busy and Free while EAP225 v4 shows RX / TX Frames, Interference & Free

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.
