Folks, OK, so I figured it out (i think)...
a. AP base was on same channel (11) as like four(!) other base units in nearby office park... all at similar signal strength 58%+... b. newer firmware re-uploaded to base unit for good measure.... So far seems to have worked... we'll see what happens n the AM tomorrow... Best, Jason.
