If you have repeater(s) that seem to bounce up and down this is likely
due to one or more nodes being
too close to a another (non Open-Mesh) wireless router on a
nearby channel.
What to look for:
If the 24-hour usage graph looks something like this:
Where you see the alternating green and gray bands, this sort of
interference is almost always the cause. Often this is due to having
your gateway node plugged into an existing wireless router that is on
channel 6. To fix the problem, either turn off the wireless on the
existing router or move the node as far as you can away, at least a
couple meters. In the above example, the gateway node was moved 2
meters from the DSL router and you can see how the signal cleaned up
and the bands disappeared.
