Specific questions are the best kind of questions :)
We've been using Unifi APs for over 18 months and we've not experienced
problems like that. If you've not already posted to the Ubiquiti forums I'd
encourage you to post there as well.
From what you've described it sounds most likely that the problem is with
your Sonic Wall - could it have run out of IP addresses, be restarting at
that time or upgrading it's firmware? The only time I can think of our APs
behaving anything like that is during a firmware upgrade but I think that's
only possible when they are connected to a controller.
We've had a controller almost the entire time we've had the APs, initially
on a local MacMini and now on a super cheap Amazon EC2 micro instance.
While it's great that the APs don't depend on the controller being
available (I failed to notice when the Mac Mini was turned off for a week)
they do perform better when it is. That's even clearer now that more recent
firmware supports seamless roaming between APs as people move around the
space.
So, while I'm not sure it will directly solve your problem, I would
recommend getting a controller set up and making sure the firmware is up to
date on all your APs.
Hope this is some help.

Hi all-
Apologies for the hyper specific question, but I know a lot (some?) people
here also use Ubiquiti Unifi access points like the ones we run at
Makeshift Society Brooklyn. I'm hoping a similar installation at another co
working space may lend clues.
We have a simple network with four APs providing wireless service. A Sonic
Wall creates the network and hands out IPs.
We've had issues every so often, but seems more frequent now, where the
APs go offline for a few minutes. Eventually the APs come back and are
adopted again. During the outages there's no drop in Wifi signal but the
connectivity to the internet disappears.
We don't have a permanent controller and don't use any of the features
that require one. Could the lack of controller be the problem? Other ideas?
I've been searching the Ubiquiti forums until my fingers bleed and have
yet to find any good answers, so I appreciate any insights.
