WG103 Constantly Having to Reboot

[nwmctech]

I have 4 wg103 in an office environment, all pretty far apart and all on different channels. They work great right after a reboot and will work all day with about 25 users on the network at any given time, but towards the end of the day the internet starts to crawl for wireless users, I mean crawl. But if i reboot all the access points its an instant speed boost and everything is back to normal. They all run the same SSID, and have the latest firmware, is there something I'm missing in the setup is there a cache or something that gets clogged up and rebooting clears it, i don't know but its a pain, at another location I have 4 wg102 and they are solid never have to reboot them, and they've been in operation for 2 solid years. Please help me out.

Thanks

have you try by reducing the AP unit and see which unit may causing the issues?

Haven't tried that, its not just one area that it slows down in, everybody on wireless all over the building experiences this, no matter what access point there connected to, they all run on POE connected to a FS726TP, so I just power cycle the switch and presto everything is back to normal and it will run for about 12hrs fine, and then slows to a crawl until I power cycle the access points.

make sure switch is not start to acting up pushing 48volts on poe.

Alright I've checked and rechecked, and I'm at a loss, I'm running 3 wg103 on channels 1,6,11 all powered via POE by a fs726tp. I have to power cycle the switch everyday in order to reboot all of the access points. Reason is after a reboot, all of my wireless clients are happy, there throughput is what it should be and everything is zippy, lets say i do a reboot at 8 am, and have 30 clients on it periodically during the day, around 3pm the wireless network slows to a crawl, and internet pages take forever to load, if I power cycle the switch, everything is back to normal. I don't know where the breakdown is, all of the access points are having this issue, I've tested each one on different days to try and isolate, all of the access points have the latest firmware .25 installed, any ideas? Or should I just look at buying different access points, at another office, we have wg102's installed in the same exact way and those run 24/7 365 with no issues or the need to reboot ever, I though the wg103 was going to run the same just few extra benefits, boy was I wrong.

just rebooting the switch fixes? or rebooting ONLY WGXX fixes the issues while switch is running as is?

I just noticed that the switch says 49.9 on output volts?

[jmizoguchi]

it should be putting out 48

check your voltage out at end of the line Pin4,5 Pin7,8
