From what i can see - It seems that the WN2000RPT seems to be dropping or not accepting traffic back to the devices. I cannot really put my finger on it - But i have been trying to understanding what is & is not getting through Via Wireshark.
An example would be with the new WN2000RPT i got today. After setting it up i went from my AP lets call it MYAccessPoint to MYAccessPoint_EXT... I noticed that i could get a DHCP address no problems from MYAccessPoint but from _EXT it would just flap and never get one.
Once i had restarted the unit this was no problem at all the *._EXT got an address via a DHCP request no problems.
