No, I forced them both to the same antenna. I figured if it was timing thing, then both on the same antenna should fix that.

They've been up for the last hour since I forced them to the sector, reporting same distance and identical Signal levels.

Did you force one to each antenna?

    Forcing them to the smart antenna didn't help, just forced them to
    the sector to see what happens.

        If you're compounding it with multipath, those tiny timeslices
        probably have more overlap to the same antenna. I dont know
        the math so I'm probably wrong

            I didn't think of that if they're using the 2 separate

            would keep that from happening.
            I just forced them both to the smart antenna. We'll see
            what happens.

            If distance is fluctuating it could be multipath,
            eliminating that as much as possible will help.
            but having them on two different uplink antennas may help
            ensure the AP isnt "blinded" on the uplink.
            the AP Rx should be pretty much even, if theyre not and
            one is fluctuating more than the other it may be the
            multipath culprit. I dont know if theres shrouds for
            these like ubnt had, but if you have one of the old NSM
            shrouds you could try affixing it with the gap away from
            the other radio to shield the two somewhat. It wont fit
            all the way around but could give you an idea of whether
            you should go to the machine shop. I dont know if RFArmor
            is still a thing or not

                Yes, distance is fluctuating.  Right now they're
                showing equal distance.  And both re-reged within 30
                seconds of each other 10 minutes ago.

                Do you mean set the preferred AP?

                Don't have a good way to get vertical separation.

                    Is the SM distance fluctuating? Can you

                        I have a rooftop that has an existing
                        Force300-25 radio on it for
                        several months.  I just added a new
                        Force300-25 radio on a new mount
                        next to it, so they are separated by a few
                        feet horizontally.  Both
                        radios are now re-associating randomly to
                        the EPMP3000Ap with Beam
                        Steering Antenna every couple hours.  Has
                        anyone else seen this? These
                        are the only 2 SM's on the AP that are
                        dropping.  In the AP wireless
                        table, it also thinks that they are 0.5
                        miles different in distance.
                        Signal levels are exactly the same.

                        I've seen the Signal levels do strange
                        things when EPMP SM's are close
                        together, but I haven't seen the radios make
                        each other drop out before.
