Utilization EAP235
Utilization EAP235

When we replaced one of our old EAP 115-Wall with a new EAP235-wall I had to recognize, that the Omada 4.x doesn't show RX/TX-Frames and the Calculated Interference for the EAP235 as it did for the EAP 115.
This feature was never precise but anyway quite helpful to analyze if the channel is occupied by clients or other devices/foreign APs.
Will this behavior be back any time soon by firmwareupgrade or should we stay with an EAP225 to fix this?

Unfortunately yes.
After I had contact to the English and the German mail-support for days now and moved the EAP to our DMZ and offered them access for live diagnosis, I got finally an unpleasant answer about the missing RX/TX in the graph 3 hours ago:

Dear Till,
For the issue that the Omada 4.x doesn't show RX/TX-Frames and the Calculated Interference for the EAP235 as it did for the EAP 115, I confirmed with the R&D team:Due to chip differences, the channel utilization on EAP235-Wall/EAP230-Wall cannot distinguish Tx/Rx frame, so Tx/Rx and Interference are uniformly represented by Busy.That's why you only see Busy and Free with EAP235-Wall and EAP230-Wall, but you get Tx/Rx frame, Interference and Free with other EAPs.
If you are trying to analyze if the channel is occupied by clients or other devices/foreign APs, you may use InSSIDer or WiFi Analyzer on a cellphone instead.
We look forward to hearing back from you. If you have additional information or feedback to provide, please let us know.

Hello,
thanks for the information, so the EAP 235 / 230 not usable for us.
It is a step backwards compared to the EAP 225.
Best Regards
