I have a small network with 10 "customers" (printer PC Nas etc)
8 of them are corded and 2 are accessible via Wi-Fi.
All devices run to 2 switches (one is D link the other I do not know)
The two access points (D link) are on 2 different switches. If only one notebook logs into an access point, the other access point loses all bandwidth. Does one know the phenomenon and can help me?
Do you really have APs or is it a repeater? So the two wireless routers connected by radio?
These are access points: that means everyone is connected to the switches with a cable
Then it is very strange.
Does the transmit / receive power decrease or only the data rate?
Have you ever changed the tapes so that each AP sends and receives on a different tape?
Ok i will make thanks for the tip
It will not be on the switches.
Questionable are the many Wi-Fi access points (WLAN router + access point A + Access Point B), it is completely unclear to me why you need so many access points for 2 laptops. Note, the more access point (AP) you use, the more difficult the configuration becomes and the more shaky the WLANs become. With Wi-Fi the motto is, less is more. Access points (or repeaters) are only useful in the case of range problems; in other cases, access points are counterproductive. If these access points are still configured as repeaters, it will be very difficult to properly configure and place them.
Never Wi-Fi repeater in the same room, where the wireless router is, operate, that is pointless and disturbs the wireless LAN of the router and brings no benefits.
Also make wireless repeater in the same room where the client (laptop) is operated no sense, they slow down the wireless. Although you have 100% signal on the laptop, but the data rate trickling only (between the router and repeater).
On the other hand, if these are configured as an access point (with LAN cable connection to the router or switch), that is reasonable.
If in fact so many Wi-Fi access points are needed, then please per access point (router + 2 repeaters) necessarily set different fixed Wi-Fi channels.
Good 5 GHz ac channels (without DFS) are channels 36, 40, 44 and 48.
Good 2.4 GHz (overlap-free) n channels are 1, 6 and 11 (do not select intermediate channels!)
Suggestion: Router gets channel 11, repeater A channel 1 and repeater B channel 6.
You can get a good overview of the Wi-Fi channel assignment with the free Android App "Fritz App WLAN" https://play.google.com/...napp&hl=de
PS:
Of course, the laptops download updates on the (daily) first connection to the Internet… Let the laptops load their updates for at least 30 minutes, then the situation should calm down.

Tips from me:
The two bands in the WLAN are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Different channels are enough for your purpose. Because 5 GHz is only good for short-range use for long distances is 2.4 GHz better. 5 GHz is not mastered by every WLAN client.
Maybe a mesh system would be something for you. https://avm.de/...e/meshtig/
