The Unifi Network Controller software does not give you any tools or logs to help you here. If you are in control of the wireless devices that connect to your network (like a home network or a small office) then this is completely within your power to fix.Īll you need to do is figure out which wireless device(s) are trying and failing. The SSID and Passwords on all devices in my home were set and working totally fine before, so why all of a sudden would rebooting a few access points cause problems? My best guess is that something related to DTIM simply prevented a properly configured wireless client from successfully reconnecting to the network, but I’m honestly not really sure. (Keep in mind that I’d only switched WiFi channels, and did not rename the SSID or password, and didn’t enable or disable any 2.4 or 5 gigahertz bands.) What happened? After a few hours of RF scans and reconfigurations triggering reboots, I saw this number skyrocket from single-digits to over 10k eventually.
This happened to me and my home network after tuning my WiFi Access Point channels and Hue Bridge channels, trying to avoid as much interference between them as possible. Some wireless device is trying and failing to connect to your network, over and over again. It’s the equivalent of a denial-of-service attack. Good news! This number being high isn’t going to negatively impact the performance of your network, but it also isn’t good. If you’re like me, then you probably searched the web for a clue, maybe found some threads in the UI.com Community Forums, but ultimately left feeling pretty uneducated about what it number means and anything you should do about it. Does this look familiar? 9650 failures?! Holy schmoly!
