Each radio does have it own IP address. The problem is that when the radio ceases to pass traffic the client computer loses its dhcp lease. Then it no longer has a valid IP address and I can't use it as a source to ping from. The something else that is going on is that the APP Repeater quits passing traffic and "goes to sleep".
