Any confirmation on this? A customer router plugged in with LAN to the WAN or not getting a DHCP entry or even a DNS entry has caused many bridges to collapse and appear as if it is noise, simply because the bridges are all echoing the massive broadcast traffic. Lonnie On 5/8/06, Lonnie Nunweil

Lots of possible causes (self-interference, interference from other networks, too high an oversubscription/traffic level, etc.) but I'd suggest pulling the AP packet-retransmit percentage statistics and manually creating a bar graph with APs across the bottom and retrans percent on the vertical
