Eric, Thanks very much for that. I've set it up in one of my locations to see (and learn!) how it runs.
Did you suffer from many lost associations before using this?

It's Morten's HostAlive found at: http://www.martin-halle.de/hostalive.html I set mine to ping each radio 3 times every 1 min. Seems to have worked wonders. Do this, or change the AP to something like Tranzeo (with good code). My next step. Hope this helps.
