OK, I just upgraded the AP to 14.1.2 and so far, so good.  SMs next.

i would upgrade the AP and all SMs to 14.1.2 (it's a very stable release) 

if it exhibits these issues once SMs start to register are you sure that you 
are not somehow creating a network loop through an SM, or some client is 
launching a DDoS and the subject of a DDoS attack?

  Does this sound like any kind of a known issue?

  I have a 450 AP that has been in service for about a year that has started 
intermittently becoming nonresponsive from the Ethernet side (can't access GUI, 
doesn't pass traffic).  I thought Ethernet problem, but neither the AP nor the 
switch shows any errors or events.  It is more like the CPU is going to sleep 
or something, but the Ethernet chip is still active.  I don't see anything in 
the Event Log though.

  We missed applying the Lite to Full license key on this AP and I thought 
maybe that was the problem since it was at 10 SMs, but I applied the license 
key and still see the problem.

  The weird thing is, if I set the Freq to None, or set the color code to 
something we don't use, the AP doesn't seem to exhibit the problem.  Only once 
SMs start registering.

  I'm thinking it's maybe a power starvation issue, that the AP uses more power 
when actively talking to SMs, and maybe it's not getting enough voltage.

  But I also see the firmware is still on 13.2.1.3, and I see Cambium finally 
released 14.1.2 official.  I am hesitant to upgrade the firmware though, unless 
there is some reason to believe what I am seeing is a firmware bug. Otherwise I 
am just adding to the confusion.
