Is there a sensitivity setting that causes the ab's to detect these small spikes of interference and freak also has there been any looking into that "SLEEPING" option in the mib?

I have a similar issue with a couple of my ABO's. The signal disappears for
a few seconds and then returns. The two units that this occurs with both
required the latest firmware to fix the overheating issue. I was "told"
that interference might cause this, which I can understand, but it seems to
lose association after a few days of this. A quick reboot of the radio
brings it back.

Nish, I had been waiting until I had more information before contacting
Smartbridges, but there do seem to still be some problems. We have 2 APP
indoor units, both used in repeater mode.
After the last firmware upgrade one seems to work fine, we have not noticed
any problems with it. The other unit, is doing all kinds of strange things.
It will suddenly quit passing traffic. Both sides say it is associated, but
it won't pass traffic. If I ping it from the Access point side, the first
batch of pings fail and it will respond to the second set of pings. At that
point it will pass traffic again. I can also wake it up using Simple
monitor. The first attempt to access it says it is not there, the second
attempt it responds. The firmware has been reflashed three times (after a
cool down period), we have run simpleDeploy to set our default settings and
none of that has helped. I recently changed the IP address of the unit to an
address outside the subnet everything else is on and that seems to have
helped. I have not noticed it "going to sleep"
It still has another problem though that the signal goes away for a second
or so every so often. It is not long enough for the client computer to be
disconnected, but, if you happen to be watching the signal monitor on the
client end it drops from 100% to no signal and comes back a second or two
later.
The "good" repeater does not exhibit this behavior even when substituted
into the same setup.
