Is is possible that because these are construction sites that power is
being interrupted or that you're having line of sight issues where
cranes, cement trucks, etc. are disrupting your rf path?
I'd like to think that you've already considered these, but sometimes we
tend to look past the obvious for a more serious issue.

Hey all,
Been lurking on the form here for a long time, and haven't posted
anything, but we have a real interesting issue, which Cisco TAC can't
seem to wrap their head around yet... Just wondering if anyone else has
encountered similar behavior:
We have a small MESH network on campus (about 10 nodes now, and growing
to 22 by then end of this year). In some places on campus, we have
construction trailers / outbuildings, which we service by converting
AP1230's into workgroup bridge mode (WGB). These workgroup bridges,
backhaul to the nearby MESH network, and provide these construction
trailers with basic "wired style" internet access.
The problem we are seeing, is that these work group bridges often
disassociate or temporarily drop off the network and come back on. This
can happen several times a day (despite SNR is often 20dB+). We are
running 5.2.181 (dev code, produced to help fix this very issue) but
are having no luck.
Anyone seem similar behavior with WGB's?
Anyone have any tips/tricks to help keep these units online?
Thanks
