The main thing that was throwing me is, even when I took the bad AP off line, the rest of the network took a long time to recover. 5 minutes or so and I wasn't waiting that long most of the time to see results, I was in a bit of a hurry so when it didn't settle, I moved onto the next.

Sigh.... Bridge loop, probably. 100M spitting out on to a backbone that can't handle that much bandwidth. I had a Redline backhaul create a loop and it flooded the traffic through the rest of the network, taking out everything up until the 100M fiber tower at which point I had ~60M to use.
