AP903 bad link speed was created by Mark
I have a SOHO setup; 2766 as mesh root and AP903 as mesh node.
On the AP903, under Diagnostics/Alert Event, I'm seeing many messages of the format:
2024/10/18 08:51:43     Wlan     Wlan Station bad link speed     Wireless 2.4G STA [MAC redacted] (1 Mbps)
2024/10/18 08:48:43     Wlan     Wlan Station bad link speed     Wireless 2.4G STA [MAC redacted] (26 Mbps)

What does this mean, and should I be doing anything about it?
I can't find this message in any manual, not from a websearch.

Thanks,
Mark

Assuming that the AP903 is a wireless (not wired) node, the simplest explanation (to me at least) would be that it's too far away from the root, hence the low link speeds? Or is that too obvious?

Apologies for an incomplete problem statement!

The 903 is connected by Ethernet cable to the 2766.

The MAC addresses referenced in the redacted log message refer to clients (an iPhone 14 and an iPad Pro, so newish kit).

Surely there is a Draytek manual somewhere that explains what Draytek error messages mean.
