Hello All,
We have a 1240g AP whose signal appears to be flapping. It is strong one second and the next it is OFF. We are not losing any pings to it and we have rebooted it and flashed it to the latest autonomous code, but still the signal keeps flapping. See the attached screenshot from WiFi Analyzer.
Thoughts?

1. DO you have the correct antennas and the correct amount of antennas installed?
2. Are you seeing this in 802.11a or 802.11b/g?

Hello,
The association between the wireless client and the Access Point (AP) can flap if there is Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the channel (cell) used by the AP and the wireless client.
RFI is the presence of unwanted interfering radio frequency signals from different sources which disrupt the original data signal from the AP and wireless clients. This results in intermittent connectivity issues between the AP and the wireless client and in some cases can lead to poor throughput, and low data rates.
You can use these methods to resolve this issue.

Thank you for the replies. It still appears to be flapping, however connections are not being dropped. I was able to stay connected all day and did a continual ping and nothing dropped. I did move the channel to an area that was less congested and also switched the antenae.
So again, thanks for all the input, it seems to be working!
