That's my next step. Contact the consultant that set it up, ask for a static IP and what the exact security settings are.

Ah, I thought it was a MikroTik.

What you're describing sounds something like the behavior of those lame 
Scientific Atlanta cable modems that the some of the oldest Cox customers still 
have.  They would issue exactly one DHCP address and make exactly one ARP entry 
during any power cycle.  If you tried to substitute devices without powering 
down the modem, it wouldn't talk to you.

You could always cheat and just appropriate an unused IP address in the AP's 
address range as your static.  Especially if you can get the AP admin to 
shorten his pool to guarantee it to you.

Problem is I do have access to the AP it is connecting to.  I'm not even sure 
what brand AP it is.  I will be asking those questions Monday when they get me 
in touch with the company that setup the wireless network.

Check the authoritative and delay-threshold values in the DHCP server on the 
AP, and compare with what your client router is asking for.

I'm setting up a RB915 router for a small business.  They are allowed free 
Internet access via a wireless system within the building.  I'm trying to setup 
the router as a Station client and pulling a dhcp address from the AP.  I can 
get it to work, but as soon as reboot the router, the router cannot pull an ip 
address from the AP.  If I mess around with scanning and connecting to the AP, 
it will eventually get an IP.  I'm running 6.1 software, and the AP is secured 
with WPA2.  Anyone seen this issue?
