Flaky wireless network issues
Hi
I am administering a small wireless network using 4 DLink DWL2700 access points and 3 client machines using DWL-G510 wireless cards. The problem is that the clients continually lose access to the network. Using either the DLink utility or Windows XP wireless tool, they connect up but some time later, network access is lost.
The DLink tool shows connection is still made, IP address information is set, but pinging network devices fails. The client MAC address still appears in the Access Point client list though. Repairing the connection fixes the problem temporarily, but the problem re-occurs.
This network has been working fine for a month or so, then this problem started, with no apparent cause. All AP's and wireless cards have the latest drivers/firmware. Signal strength is shown as excellent, connection speeds of 54Mbs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
