[Windows] [OS X] Wi-Fi poor performance every 10-12 seconds, high CPU load #4294

The last few days I've started to investigate a network issue at home on wireless with a period of 10-12 seconds, 3-4 seconds each drop:

  • bandwidth drops from ~600 Mbit to ~100 Mbit (802.11ac)
  • lost packets with ping -f
  • the most annoying is ssh lagging

First clue was that these happened when Wi-Fi was scanning for networks. Killing airportd process brought back lost performance.
Second clue was this message in Console.app :

17/12/15 12:04:26,270 airportd[8705]: WARNING: owncloud (483) is not entitled for com.apple.wifi.scan, temporarily allowing request with background priority —— all entitlement requirements will be strictly enforced in a future release

Killing ownCloud client restores performance, so I have the following question: why is ownCloud requesting a Wi-Fi scan each 10-12 seconds?

P.S. I have 3 Mac laptops at home. Two of them have this issue, both running ownCloud.
