Just a quick note. It seems that most wifi based systems that I've used do NOT detect constant carrier signals. So a mechanism that is always on will kill them but not show up as noise in the stats.
A spectrum analyzer is a mission critical device sometimes.

Been up 23 hours since I changed channels, no dropped clients or other
problems.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

I understand that. I hope the frequency change helps. Let us know.

Your partially right Tower is only 65 foot, but difficult to get to in
good weather using a quad, and it has been raining all day. No one want to
climb a tower in the rain. I have changed channel and it seems to be stable. I
hope!

I take it the tower is fairly high so you're resisting climbing to swap
it out?

Noise was the same as it always is 91 - 94 range, and is the same
this morning.
We had some light rain yesterday started about noon, and rained on
and off, the same thing this morning.
We had some very hard rain and strong winds the end of October, and
encountered no problems.
I am going to try switching channels with another AP on that tower .

Did it rain recently? We had a similar problem where the antenna
was not sealed tight and everytime it rained hard clients would drop off, but
after a few hours of sun shining on the system they'd be fine until the next
heavy rain storm. The thing that threw us off was that light or normal rain
that didn't last long didn't seem to affect the antenna, only heavy rain with
maybe some wind thrown in the mix.
Then on a different note, we've recently been battling an issue
where on one of our 5GH systems clients were all dropping off at very random
times...Turn out damn BAE systems down the road was testing frequency hopping
radar crap and every time it hopped into the frequency we were using, the
clients dropped off.

I don’t get it!
The AP is a TR-902 11f which has an internal antenna.
The clients that were were dropped were a mix of nearest and
furthest from the AP.
Thanx

Put a power meter between the AP radio and the antenna and make
sure the radio is putting out the power it should. Also check the SWR, should
be about 1.3/5. I would guess that the clients being dropped are the ones
furthest away, if the AP is losing power or the antenna is wet or damaged and
losing signal.

Yes. Since you said "it has now dropped 15 of 20 that are
connected to that AP." I would suspect there is an issue with that AP. I'd swap
it out with a known good AP and see if that helps. Otherwise, you may be having
some interference issues on that sector which would mean you'll need a cavity
filter. On that note, can you run a spectrum scan to see?

Do you mean the AP? It still works with 7 clients now.

swap the suspect unit out with a known working unit.

I have 4 TR-902 AP's on a tower 3 are working fine, 1
has been dropping clients at the rate of 1 every 5 minuets it has now dropped
15 of 20 that are connected to that AP. I have rebooted the AP and some of the
clients, with no success. I have no idea what is wrong. Now I see that 2 have
come back.. Any suggestions?
