Of the 25 subs, 4 or 5 CPEs did not re-associate with the AP. All was cleared up when customers called & were instructed to recycle power to outdoor CPEs. This situation happened to 3 different types of CPEs that we have in the field for this AP.
I don't think that's anything related to the 802.11b specs, just a quirk. I've seen more than a few CPEs that just act weird, but restarting them (i.e. powercycling) almost always fixes everything.
I've gotten most of my customer trained to try that before they even call us. :)
I usually explain it with a bad Windows analogy. "You know how sometimes your home computer will just do Weird Stuff, and then when you restart it, everything magically gets better? Well, your CPE is just a stripped-down, funny-looking computer..."
It's probably nothing to worry about, honestly. David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
