I re-setup the bridges with new setting..but still will randomly drop the connection.
when it is up I am getting very good speeds!

Hi redtech116,
As far as I know, there is no issue on the WAC720 like what you have described on your initial post. Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Are the 2 WAC720 within line of sight to each other?
b. What is the distance between the 2 WAC720?
c. How are the 2 WAC720 deployed? Are both mounted on the ceiling or on the side wall?
d. Are there any other wireless networks present within the area where the 2 WAC720 are deployed?
e. What is the current firmware version of the 2 WAC720?
f. Since you have tried to re-setup the 2 WAC720 and still the same problem, have you tried to perform a factory reset on both APs then reconfigure it from scratch then observe if same problem will occur?
Regards,

Hi Glenn
Additional to Dane questions would it be possible to share the following info?
