    Hi @emreoez

    Thank you for the update on the ping tests.

    In our tests at the site, all four ping test combinations are successful. Actually, when an end device connects to Wi-Fi, it may not always choose the nearest AP. To further investigate, could you please let us know how you determine which AP your laptop is connected to? Are you utilizing the Nebula APP for this identification?

    For deeper analysis, we would appreciate if you could conduct another ping test and provide:

    1. The MAC address of your test laptop.
    2. The exact time of the test.
    3. Diagnostic information from the two APs involved. For details on how to collect this data, please refer to the relevant FAQ.

    Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

    See how you've made an impact in Zyxel Community this year!

    Hi
    Im checking using the Nebula App (i know about the delay on it) + determine via Wifi Signal, since the upper floor AP is 2 floors up, the cellar AP signal is nearly impossible to reach the 2nd upper floor so i can see the Wifi Signal is switching from nearly 0% up to 100% on the Laptop since im staying next to upper floor AP.

    iPhone used "Ping - network utility" from App Store by lurii Mozharovskyi
    Laptop used Windows CMD for Ping

    Devices used to Ping:
    iPhone: <hide due to privacy>
    Windows Laptop: <hide due to privacy>

    Devices tried to Ping (Both Connected to 2.4Ghz Only Network on Cellar AP):
    HP Printer: <hide due to privacy> / 192.168.2.140
    Samsung TV: <hide due to privacy> / 192.168.2.98

    AP's involved:
    AP Cellar: <hide due to privacy> / 192.168.2.194 - "Keller"
    AP Upper Floor: <hide due to privacy> / 192.168.2.185 - "Obergeschoss"

    Laptop - Connected to Cellar AP
    12:56:00 - 12:56:30 - Connected Laptop to 5Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - No Success
    12:56:45 - 12:57:00 - Connected Laptop to 2.4Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Sucess

    iPhone - Connected to Cellar AP
    12:59:00 - 12:59:40 - Connected iPhone to 5Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - No Success
    13:00:15 - 13:00:45 - Connected iPhone to 2.4Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Sucess

    Laptop - Connected to Upper Floor AP
    13:03:00 - 13:03:30 - Connected Laptop to 5Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Success
    13:03:30 - 13:03:45 - Connected Laptop to 2.4Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Sucess

    iPhone - Connected to Upper Floor AP
    13:05:15 - 13:05:45 - Connected iPhone to 5Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Success
    13:06:00 - 13:06:15 - Connected iPhone to 2.4Ghz and Tried to Ping 2.4Ghz Connected Printer and TV - Sucess

    I also found a Thread with the same Topic and nearly same AP, which could be fixed with an Firmware Update by Zyxel 2 year's ago.

    Hoping for a Solution because the Network is absolutely not usable this way..

    Kind Regards
    Emre

    PS: I had to change extension from Diagnostic Report from .bz2 to .gz since .bz2 is not allowed here.

    Hello @emreoez

    Based on our tests with same models at our local site, devices could successfully ping each other.

    To further diagnose your issue, we kindly request your assistance in performing another ping test. Please connect your laptop to the 5GHz SSID and other devices (such as the printer and TV) to the 2.4GHz SSID. Then, execute a continuous ping test (e.g., ping 192.168.2.98 -t). Maintain this connection and observe the ping results over a few minutes.

    Simultaneously, we propose scheduling a remote session where we can access the AP to trace the packet flow when you are performing the ping test. Please let us know your preferred time slots for this session.
