Alex, OK I have set the logging on SimpleNMS (didn't realise it did this!). However, on looking at at the file being created (Stat_log) it only seems to collect basic information and not the detailed stuff that SimpleMonitor stores.
Be interesting to see if this keeps the units associated.

When you click "select from available access point", it may not find one and you just click the refresh button and you should be able to see it. It perform exactly the same.

I read another post a day or so ago from someone who seemed to do something similar to "teach" his units to behave themselves! Could it be that this might be the lead everyone is looking for into the "losing association" issue? If doing something like this keeps the units associated, then I can only assume it is keeping the firmware away from a "bad" bit of code. Is there something that SmartBridges could knock up that would allow us to gather link status logging information for multiple units (using the exact same method as SimpleMonitor does now)? If this works, it could provide us all with an effective workaround until the exact issue is resolved. Another thought... I have been finding that I can (contrary to my initial thinking) often re-associate manually by using the Site Survey tab of SimpleMonitor (only works if I happen to be at a customer site when it is down of course). However, I generally have to hit the "refresh" button twice before the available APs show up. Is this significant, I wonder. How does the firmware code differ when searching for available APs when it loses association versus via the Site Survey "refresh" tool?
