Marlon, I LOVE my Tranzeo radios. Before using them, I all but gave up on 802.11. In an effort to assist, I dont have the disconnect issues you mention. I've got StarOS on WRAP boards for AP's. I dont have any power supply issues either except from the expected lightning. I use 15 volt units from Prime Electronics which I get for $2.99! ---> http://www.primelec.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/2452565/vpcsid/0/SFV/31734
I hope someone can help with your issues. -RickG On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:36 AM, Marlon K. Schafer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi All, > > I really like my Tranzeo CPQ radios.
