Hello Support,

Please can you tell me if this is normal behaviour?

The image shows a scan from the 2.400GHz to 2.433GHz, channel 1, taken from my TinySA Ultra+. I've isolated it to the wireless router and bursts change as I change channels. I get the same high energy bursts on channel 11. It is not continuous but changes through out the day. Usually, I observe a consistent diagonal dot pattern.

When I switch the router off, the burst disappear. What is more interesting is that when I leave it turned-on, connected to the switch, but disconnected from the firewall, the bursts also stop as if externally triggered.

I tried installing the latest firmware but the high energy bursts continue? Please advise…

Current set-up: Netgate 1100 → Zyxel GS1900-10HP → NWA1123ACv3

Output from Tiny SA Ultra+ 2.400GHz to 2.433GHz (1) and 2.441GHz to 2.483GHz (11):

    Hi @ASGR,

    Before we check this issue, may I know some details first?

    1. What makes you want to check it with the Tiny SA Ultra+? Is there any issue trigger you to check?
    2. "I've isolated it to the wireless router and bursts change as I change channels" What do you mean change channels? The Wi-Fi radio channel? Or?

    Thanks for sharing the information.
