I am having quite a bit of trouble with setting up a very simple network.
My objective is to cover a small warehouse with wireless coverage to allow for data collection from remote scales in fixed location.
To reach to the far corner of the warehouse I needed to repeaters as discovered by trial and error. The problem is that the second repeater disconnects somewhat randomly. The disconnect period can be from as little as 30 minutes to has long as 8 hours. When the second repeater disconnects it take roughyl two minutes for it to reconnect. I am attaching the event log in hopes that it means something to some one. Also I am having a somewhat annoying problem that when ever I power down any of the equipment certain parameters are not saved such as the time and on the 871 the DHCP address range resets. I am not sure if this problem is related but it is quite bother some.
