Misalignment with traffic meter "Access Point by usage" and "SSID by usage"

GiuseppeR

Hello everyone,

I have an ORG where a widget shows me bigger data exchanged wirelessly than another one of the same ORG.

As you can see it seems that I have had 1.6 gigs (last 24h):

with a 1.1 gigs from a specific AP, while looking at SSID usage it shows me to have had only half GB of traffic (last 24h):

I have no mesh WiFi activated, every AP is working purely as APs… so these APs traffic meters are not working properly.

How can I fix that?

Hi @GiuseppeR

May I know which AP model is it?

GiuseppeR

Hi @Zyxel_Melen

on that site I have 6x NWA130BE with V7.20(ACIL.3) onboard :

In this moment I see 4.2 gigs here:

and about 3.4 gigs here:

Hi @GiuseppeR

The "Access Point by usage" will record all the traffic on the AP, combine all SSIDs and the LAN port traffic(if the AP has the LAN port), therefore, the total traffic will be different to the SSIDs by usage, which record the traffic from a SSID of all APs in the same site.

May you share the number of SSIDs in this site? Does the NWA130BE connect to any device on the LAN port?

Hi @Zyxel_Melen

I disabled LAN onboard:

So only pure AP function.

On that ORG I have 3 SSIDs linked to APs with tags.

Hi @GiuseppeR

Since we want to monitor the difference between "Access Point by usage" and "SSID by usage", could you help to enable Zyxel support access and share the organization's name with us? Thanks for the cooperation.
