I upgraded the firmware on the ABTotal and now I can't get anything through the Ethernet...i wasn't getting anything after about 20 minutes on the first installation and so I just left it powered off thinking that it was the firmware issue. Now that I've got the new firmware, I wasn't able to upgrade it from the customer's computer through the Ethernet port...took it down and brought it back to our shop and for a while nothing....and then all of a sudden I was able to view it through simplemonitor and so I upgraded the firmware....two hours later, still not associating with our APPO, and can't even ping it through the Ethernet port. Should I just RMA the sucker...the customer has already paid for the installation and first month service...they asked about a refund and I told them that if I can't get them online in a week, I will refund them their money...

That appears to be fixed. I upgraded the same bad unit (here in my lab) and it associated right up and has been up ever since. I have 4 total clients being affected by this problem (losing association) and I just wirelessly upgraded 3 of them. I know...I know...I was supposed to have them unplugged for a while and then do this on the wired side. But hey...the whole point to having a wireless ISP is the ability to "wirelessly" manage it. So...I figured, what the heck. If it works, it saves me a rollout....if it don't, I will just have to downgrade it and roll out there. But...it is working for now. With the wireless FW upgrade, the units appeared to lose association for about 2 seconds and came right back online. I will keep everyone posted on their status over the next few days. BTW...these units were going down (and staying down) about once every 36 hours. It would take a power downtime of 10 minutes to get them back online.
