AH! And to top it ALL off, here I am, up on the top of a grain leg, out of breath, cranky and freezing and the cell phone rings......... It's the office calling me..... "So and so just called and her internet isn't working"...... "Uh, and you somehow don't remember that I'm out here trying to fix it?!!!!"
There have been many times I felt like tossing the cell off the top of a tower and that was one of them.

Sigh.... The main thing that was throwing me is, even when I took the bad AP off line, the rest of the network took a long time to recover. 5 minutes or so and I wasn't waiting that long most of the time to see results, I was in a bit of a hurry so when it didn't settle, I moved onto the next.

Sigh.... Bridge loop, probably. 100M spitting out on to a backbone that can't handle that much bandwidth. I had a Redline backhaul create a loop and it flooded the traffic through the rest of the network, taking out everything up until the 100M fiber tower at which point I had ~60M to use.
