There is apparently a problem with Atheros based APs and Prism based
clients (Tranzeo CPE200, Seneao CB3Deluxe, others)
We recently upgraded from Prism based APs to SR2 and XR2 APs in several
key locations.
The way it was explained to me is that there is a bug (Atheros AP, Prism
Client) where the client "doesn'
t know" that its been disassociated, and it takes a while to
re-associate. I have seen this when changing channels on the AP, and
other things. It may take up to 10 minutes for the client to re associate.
Another thing I have found (with the help of Butch Evans) is that
lowering the power on the Xr2 cards REALLY helps with client upload
rates (improves sensitivity).
I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem you are
describing here, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Recently, I've had problems with CPQ's connecting to Atheros based
Mesh AP's. They work for a bit then stop communicating.
If I reset them to factory defaults and then reconfigure them, they
sometimes start working again.
Currently, I just move the units that stop talking to my Atheros
based AP's to locations with Prisiam or Hermes based AP's.
This is, of course, not a long term fix as I am slowly removing the
Hermes and Prisiam based AP's from my network....

Anyone else running into problems with the newer CPQ radios and
their existing SB access points?
I'm seeing either total non functioning systems or intermittent
problems.
The symptom is that the CPQ can't see the AP's ssid. Rebooting the
AP sometimes helps, temporarily.
This did NOT happen with the CPE-200 units. And did NOT happen with
older CPQ radios (that I'd noticed anyway).
I run all radios in bridge mode, changing the preamble doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Am I alone with this problem?
Swapping to the new Teletronics TT2400 aps (nice working units so
far!!!) cures the problem. Swapping out 20 towers worth of APs
isn't something I'm excited about doing though.
