Hi Ken ... I run different brand names of wireless equipment and with that in mind some of the different AP use different IF freqs . Here is a way to help out with the problem. Make sure the wireless is a min of 20 feet away from the repeater antenna, make sure the AP is mounted in a steel in closure and grounded properly ... and use shielded cat cable. That should take care of it ...
