I just wanted to follow-up on this thread, since the recommendation was to use static IP addresses for the affected devices. The DropCam and the Lyric sensors have not experienced a problem since being assigned IP addresses. There has been no instances of devices losing IP connectivity.

However, this probably will take a week or so to see if there are any changes. I only changed one of the devices, the Dropcam, because it is always online and easily managed. Previously, the problem would be such that things would seems fine for a while, then there would be a flurry of problems over a couple of days. We shall see. I am still running without AX mode and allowing WPA/TKIP.

I have not had any further problems with the Lyric water sensors since the last post.
