Re: Access point

Jeff,

We've had intermittent wireless problems here on our shop floor before
that was caused by interference from large industrial microwave ovens used
in our extrusion process. Some times there would be wireless issues and
other times not, depending on what production was running. At my former
employer I pulled my hair out for awhile trying to debug intermittent
issues with wireless connections dropping. The access points appeared to
be functioning correctly but would loose connections for a period of time.
In that case the problem was power. Once I plugged the access points
into UPS's everything worked fine. The voltage must have been dropping
low enough to affect the transmitter. I know that you said that you had
POE on at least one of yours so that may not be the issue.

If only I had found a way to keep the users from unplugging the access
points so they could plug in a fan or radio... Ahh, memories...
