I upgraded to smartbridge access points about 4 months ago and have not had one issue. Every Friday I reboot each ap starting on the outside and working my way inward. And I also reboot the mikrotik router. I do this as kind of preventative maintience. I sometimes forget and still do not have problems. I have 7 app in nema boxes out there and 2 appo. And also no issues with airbridges. I have 19 of them out.
