Hi Guys,
I was having the same problem as everyone else untill I found a solution.
If i set a security key on both devices by doing the push button on one then the other it works everytime it comes out of sleep.
When i remove the sec key the problem happens again.
I suspect that when the devices first see each other they agree on comms right then and there when the 5004 goes to sleep the 5001 forgets the temp key. When the 5004 wakes up it uses the same key as before but the 5001 has forgotten it and blocks traffic.
Where a key is set and the encryption is on both have the same keys in them no matter what state they go into or out off.
Not sure if this will work for all but it solved the sleep issue for me.
