Root-cause analysis

Diagnosed cause

Severe airtime contention from co-channel interference

RCA confidence79%

Above the 70% threshold — a fix can be pre-formed.

Reasoning

Channel utilization is saturated with an elevated retry rate, the classic co-channel interference signature. An RF channel rebalance should relieve it.

Generated by heuristic

Evidence trail

channel_utilization2.4/5GHz channel utilization: 88%

Channel airtime is saturated.

retry_rateWireless retry rate: 31%

High retry rate confirms contention rather than client-side issues.

client_count_dropAssociated client drop: 22%

Clients are dropping off as the channel degrades.

Proposed fix

Re-run auto RF and rebalance channels

Trigger an auto-RF channel reassignment on the affected access point to move it off the congested channel and lower airtime contention.
