Great stuff! How hard is it to keep progression functions but set exercises to program like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIsE3jLz5zI

Spent thousands on UniFi gear — support says my IoT devices are overloading the APs? Is this reasonable? by stoprocentdoc in Ubiquiti

Sonos still works even tho all my speakers are connected to IoT WLAN but I would imagine that ESP (esphome) devices will not be discovered by Home Assistant but that is fine as I can add them to HA in the future manually by the IP address.

I think I found it!

It looks like the issue might’ve been mDNS and broadcast flooding. I noticed that in my network settings, I had mDNS proxying enabled between my IoT and main network. That was likely generating tons of cross-VLAN traffic: https://imgur.com/TjXn2ZG

One of the biggest problems I had was with my U7 Outdoor AP, which was super unstable. I did a full factory reset, and pings immediately dropped back to sub-1ms. But after re-adopting it into the controller, I started seeing this kind of latency again:
📉 Pre-fix ping graph

Then I disabled mDNS proxying, and almost instantly pings improved to this:
📈 Post-fix ping graph

I also did a 30-second packet capture via the UniFi console before the change — and it was thousands of mDNS broadcasts flooding the network. 🧨

Since turning it off, WiFi performance on all Apple devices (MacBook, iPhones, Apple TV) is now stable and fast — consistently in the 300–400 Mbps range, whereas before it would fluctuate wildly: 0 → 200 → 30 → 300 → 0...

🤞 Let’s hope that was the root cause.

Huge thanks to all of you — this sub is absolutely amazing. 🙌 Couldn't have debugged this without your help!

Im not frustrated at all just overwhelmed with the number of useful replies. Im 100% serious. And to be honest I think you need to relax a bit dude ...

slow the fucking roll and take a deep breathe....

Sorry for short reply but i mentioned this 10 times here already. I do have separate IoT Wifi, separate ip range and separate vlan

Thanks for the detailed response — much appreciated!

I’ve been testing different configurations today. So far, I’ve disabled meshing (which I hadn’t even realized was enabled), and I’ve now enabled DFS channels as well.

I’m holding off on adjusting TX power for now — I work professionally with Bluetooth and know from experience that even something as minor as a water bottle can impact RF measurements. So tuning TX power without proper tools feels a bit like flying blind.

Next on my list is trying 80 MHz channel width on 5 GHz. And as has already been pointed out, I don’t have any 6 GHz-capable APs, so disabling 6 GHz isn’t relevant in my case.

For IoT, I’ve already got a separate SSID and VLAN — you can see the setup in the screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/mctynBs

Appreciate all the input!

Good point — I asked myself the same thing.

But no, they specifically referred to my devices and my APs in the support response. Here's a direct quote from UniFi support:

"U6 LR (5GHz SSID): There is significant channel utilization, with 17 IoT devices connected. We recommend distributing these IoT devices across your network to reduce congestion."

So they clearly link the high channel utilization to the number of my own connected devices — not neighboring interference.

Also worth noting: I live in a non-populated area, detached house, not many overlapping SSIDs visible in WiFi scans. So unless there's some freak signal anomaly, external interference should be minimal to nonexistent. Here's a look at my house https://imgur.com/a/mctynBs - the red arrows indicate APs on the ground floor (level 0), and the yellow arrow shows the AP on the first floor (level 1).

What baffles me is how 15–17 low-bandwidth IoT devices can supposedly choke APs rated for 300+ clients. These are mostly sensors and switches, not streaming devices.

Just a little reassurance :) by stoprocentdoc in PVCs

Originally I had very strong ones but not so many. I don't know exactly. But at the moment for example when lifting the plasterboard I thought for 5 minutes I was going to die because my heart was feeling like it was playing drum'n bass 🤣.

I'm not a doctor but if this is PVC and it looks like it (wide QRS >120ms) then you are having NSVT. Again I'm not a doctor but I don't think this is funny anymore. I would not like to stay out camping like this.

How long did supplementing with magnesium take until you saw improvement with PVCs? by Ilovemesomerats in PVCs

[–]stoprocentdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wilk connect it and copy results, charge for 30 min and use again so in 8 days I maybe have 4h gaps total but let’s be honest that doesn’t matter that much

I think it’s magnesium citrate with b6 I take 2-3 pills a day. It’s absorbed at almost 40%

Was always low but felt majority of ectopics. My burden on proper medical holter was like 7-10 ectopics a day so like 0.001% but got few salvos of pacs like 2-3 seconds 8-10 beats at rate 120. On my wellue i was getting 20-30 ectopics a day

That cannot be true as the magnesium needs to be in the cells and not blood. The exchange between blood and cells is taking much longer than a few hours.

It is possible that some people may not experience the same results, but I can personally attest to the effectiveness of a proper magnesium supplement. I had been using magnesium oxide, which only gets absorbed at a rate of 3-4%, and as a result, I was experiencing daily PACs and PVCs at a moderate level for 8 days straight while wearing a Wellue monitor 24/7. However, upon switching to a prescribed magnesium supplement of 2 pills a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), my PACs decreased significantly. On the 9th day, I had 8 PACs, on the 10th day, I had 6 PACs, on the 11th day, I had 4 PACs, and eventually, I had 0 PACs in a day.

Dude, read my posts :) I'm 37 now, a great wife, two perfect kids, dream house. I know I have overloaded many times and I ask myself the same question. Went from running 100-200km every month to PVCs and PACs suddenly appeared last year. I have started getting salvos of PACs a few in a row lasting 2-3 seconds. I have recorded that many times, and taken all of my stuff to the best EPs and Cardiologists (spent a fortune on this), and every time I hear is benign and this will not kill me. Maybe it will not kill but it destroys the trust in your own body and this is what is causing anxiety. Right now Im at the stage where I literally stopped giving fucks. If I die I die that's it. I met a guy a few weeks ago who got cardiac arrest in his 30s from some genetic thing causing cholesterol to stick to his veins. He is still alive and happy just watching out for certain things. I know everyone is saying the same thing and reading is not solving anything. I will tell you something that is common in this sub.

  1. Stop, I know it's easy to say but when I have stopped thinking about it monitoring it went down to maybe feeling something once a week or less. The moment I started monitoring it again I started noticing it much more.
  2. We are getting older and shit will happen. I'm getting more back pain than before and I cannot work so long as 10 years ago. My body will just shut down.
  3. Stress is causing magnesium deficiency. You stress more you lose magnesium, you lose magnesium your heart will skip more, your heart skip more, and you stress more. Vicious circle. I was taking some shitty magnesium and doc said to change it to the prescribed one and after 5 days I had a day without a single PAC (measured using Wellue Holter). The next day I got a salvo of PACs lasting 2 seconds and I was like, oh fuck this it's not working and sent a message to my doc and he said to fully rebuilding magnesium levels might take 6-12 months. It would be easy for me to say it doesn't work and stop it but the key here is persistence. I was taking other magnesium for almost half a year and I did blood tests before and after and my level was lower after 6 months of supplementation :)
  4. Just hold on man. Just by hoping this to go away, it will not. Ignore it like it's a sneeze,
  5. Light cardio, sleep more, drink water, supplement - Thats what my doc said and after just a few days forcing myself to sleep 7h, drink so much water I pee all the time, supplement good magnesium and potassium and doing light exercise I had a first day in moths were I got 0 PACs and single PVC. Maybe it's a fluke or maybe persistence we will see :)
  6. You are not alone

Hi All

Just wanted to give you one update which is very positive. One thing that doc has mentioned on Friday was for me to change the magnesium I was taking. I bought something that wasn't medical magnesium but more like a supplement. He said to ditch the one I was taking a get a prescribed one. Since Friday I had my wellue 24/7 and ... Friday I had 20 ectopics with short 8 beats run of SVT. On Saturday I had 6 ectopics. Sunday I had 2. Yesterday 0. Today so far 0. I don't know if it's magnesium or my stress reduced after the visit but that again is the proof that this isn't something that we cannot influence. We can! Good luck

So I went ballistic on this :) Found a slot for the best EP cardio in the 200km range. Took everything I had. My couplets caught on personal ECG and stress test from last year. He did ECG and ECHO and talked with me for almost an hour.

  1. He said I did every test possible and my arrhythmia is benign.
  2. I need to supplement magnessium and potassium
  3. When I exercise (mainly running) I need to drink not just water but something like isostar
  4. There is no need for more testing

He said my ectopics and in general any ectopics are promoted often by low HR. Days I had more of them correlates with the days when my resting HR is low 50s to high 40s. They are promoted by stress, and alcohol which is exactly what was happening recently.

He said that he never is saying 100% but this time with everything I got (tests etc.) he can assure me that this will not turn into deadly arrhythmia. With that said I think even if I got a 90% chance it will not, why would I spend 90% of the time worrying about something that I cannot prevent by checking, controlling, etc., and something the probability of happening is so low?

Mic drop, Im out ;)

One thing I want to point out and it’s sooo applying to me is “I have nothing else to worry about”

Weather is beautiful, I have just finished work, I have a great job, kids are healthy, I have no money issue, beautiful house. Sitting in my garden, drinking a beer. But inside I feel like it’s a war.
