    Well I decided to do some additional testing today. I shut down all the MS60 and disconnected the MR60 from the switch. And still all devices wirelesses connected o it had issues. So clearly an issue with the MR60 and how it is routing things.

    I spent time going through settings, and found the culprit (though I think it is a different culprit than last time as I don't recall ever messing with it).

    under Advance->Security->Access Control  "Turn on Access Control" was checked, rule was set to "allow all new devices to connect" all devices listed (wired and wireless) were set to allowed.
