Loosing connectivity with CISCO AP350

[CHM1]

Often, I loose connectivity with the stations behind a Cisco AP350 : Stations are in the status "Assoc", but IP Address / Name is set "Unassigned" on the "Association Table page.
I need to re-enter the 2 WEP keys and it's OK for a while..

Could anybody help me ?
Thanks.

I have just solved this exact same problem on my cisco 350 aironet.The problem is interference and you need to reconfigure your bridges to compensate for this.
What I did was the following:

1) If you are only running two bridges like mine, disable Spanning Tree Protocol or STP. This is enabled by default and adds an extra unnecessary load to your signal.

2) Lower the speed of the devices ( this is a trial and error procedure)

3) lower the power level ( this is also a trial and error procedure

4) On the ethernet hardware setup page alter the 'loss of backbone connectivity # of secs (1-10000) from 2 secs to something reasonable ( I set mine to 120 secs)Also on the same page alter the 'loss of backbone connectivity action' -change from 'switch to repeater mode' to 'no action'

5) Another thing you can try is altering the size of your encryption code from 128 to 40 bit. This is a bit extreme though and is a security risk. It might be an idea to try and see if it makes a difference.If it doesn't then change it back quickly.

hope this helps

Thank You very much.
But I solved my problem another way.
I only defined one WEP key and not two (flip-flop). No more problem. I did not heard of it for about one year !
