We face this issues also in both cases. even a change to 10.7.1.1 on the IAP cluster did not help.

Unfortunately we are experiencing problems again after the update to 8.10.0.16, mainly random spikes in meetings with both AX211 NIC and macbooks

95% of our devices are using AX211 NICs, so you may be onto something here. Hundreds of them. I'll have to see if I can find a device that doesn't use the AX211 card and test with that. Downgrading the driver for everyone isn't a realistic option. I was hoping there'd be a newer driver, but I tested on the latest version (23.120.0) released March 4th and the issue persists.
Anybody else find any resolution here? We upgraded to 8.10.16 and things seemed to get a little better for a while, but the issue has re-appeared with a vengeance affecting users across our campus. I see 8.10.0.17 is in the AOS-8 Release Notes site, but it's not active yet. Hopefully .17 brings some resolution.
Are any of the 10.x firmware stable and reliable with this issue?

We also observed that the problems reported here are related to Intel 6E AX211 NIC's running on firmware code 23.xxx. Downgrading the driver to any of the 22.xxx firmware releases fixed the problem in our case.

I had also explored this workaround previously. My initial driver (adapter intel AX211) was version 23.90 -> Wi-Fi issues were observed with this version. I installed the latest driver available from Intel (23.120) on 2 Dell laptops, while one of my colleagues remained on version 23.100 on his laptop (HP laptop, but also ax211 adapter). The issue persists on the "ax" Wi-Fi on those 3 laptops (Test have been performed on 2 AP, same result, and at the end, last AP has been installed on my desk to avoid any interferences, but trouble persisted)

Your response about your Intel cards AX211 cards got me to wondering if your network card drivers needed patching. A couple of year back, Intel were experience enormous problems with their WiFi6 cards. This issue stopped a good number of people to be unable to access full WiFi6 services. It's always worth patching with Intel drivers for wireless cards (they seem to patch regularly). I'm not a fan of the standard Windows driver - Microsoft seems to use elderly and sometimes out of date drivers) so it's worth investigating the device driver avenue first before determining it really is an Aruba firmware issue.

Infra: 330 Aruba AP-505 - Current firmware: 8.10.0.16
Hello,
I'm adding my experience here along with a workaround I discovered yesterday. For some time now, I've noticed Wi-Fi instability, which manifests as poor-quality Teams calls. My baseline observation involves running a continuous ping to a local resource. I sometimes notice that the ping suddenly becomes unstable, regularly exceeding 100ms, sometimes even reaching 2 seconds, with occasional timeouts. This situation resolves itself after a while or by roaming to another Wi-Fi access point, or by disconnecting and reconnecting to the Wi-Fi.
However, yesterday I noticed that if I forced my machine to use Wi-Fi "ac" instead of the default "ax," when the bad ping occurred on other laptops, the clients using Wi-Fi AC had no issues. (My 3 test machines-Dell and HP-have an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi adapter.)
I have a ticket opened for several weeks with HP, to analyse this issue. They informed me yesterday they will try to reproduce it in lab.
Regards
LG

Really scratching my head here and wondering if it is me who lost it completely. Not sure yet if the issue is also showing in AOS10 but I will find that out in a couple of days.
I notice intermittent hiccups in teams calling, SSH sessions (Linux guys), etc. since we upgraded to the latest AOS8 release. And I am really wondering why the internet is not on fire. No mentions in Airheads, a few in Reddit but not related to the AP505's we have, only in the 6xx series. So it must be me.... ?
We have around 400 AP's running on different sites. A lot of them are AOS10. But we also have around 150 AOS8 AP's spread over multiple sites. All running fine until last week.
Due to the CVS that came out, we decided to upgrade to 8.10.0.14, latest LSR. Next day we received some strange notifications. Teams audio and video freeze for around 3 seconds every couple of minutes. Really annoying. We first thought the issues were firewall or Teams related but that was not the case. We patched a laptop directly in the client VLAN which is also used by the SSID and the laptop didn't have any issues.
We started a teams call with our internal network team to do some sniffing, checking, etc and every time we yelled "Freeze" the Linux guys shouted the same. They are using ssh to their Linux servers and when we have frozen screens, they didn't get any character echo on their screen. After a 3 sec freeze period, the characters appeared (probably TCP retransmit) and the Teams video came back.
We had this on different sites. Upgrading to the last SSR software version gave the same result. It was solved after we went back to an older software version.
We are running mostly on 505's. What am I missing here.... what is going on... why does it look that I am the only one having this issue (ok, this morning I college of another company mentioned he had the same issue but that is only one.....)
I have tried the search button in this forum. Tried reddit as well. Really can't find anything related to this issue. You really notice a 3 second freeze... why is it only me.... :-)
Cheers,
Dennis
