DWL-3200AP

Any experience with this product anyone? I wanted to start a thread on
this product and see if anyone else has any comments on the product or
similiar problems as described below. All of my configuration and
troubleshooting is done via telnet. I can give LOTs of more
information if anyone is interested.

Issue #1) The first is that when I configure the DWL-3200AP with VLAN
support, the AP reboots on random intervals. I have 16 in the school
and they all reboot completely randomly and independently of one
another when configured with multi-SSID support on VLANs. When I
disable VLAN support, no reboots!

Issue #2) When modifying the transmit power level, the power level
never actually get's reduced. Let me show:
AP-Weightroom wlan1 -> get power
TransmitPower: half (-3 dB)
Current Transmit Output Power 22.0 dBm
AP-Weightroom wlan1 -> set power min
Transmit Power: Min
AP-Weightroom wlan1 -> reboot
:
AP-Weightroom wlan1 -> get power
TransmitPower: min
Current Transmit Output Power 22.0 dBm

Regarding #1, here is my config script for what DOES cause a reboot and
what does NOT:

DOES reboot APs:
set ssidsuppress disable
set multi-state enable
set vlanstate enable
set nativevlan 16
set ssid Borgia

set multi-key 104 [blanked] 2 1
set multi-encryption enable 1

Hi Stefan!

I have also a bounch of DWL-3200AP, same basic problem as you. The devices reboot at random intervals. D-LINK is contacted and they sent
a new firmware 2.30, I use 2.20.
I had to disable 802.11g and all "turbo" modes, using only 802.11b to make it work at all.

The device worked well from beginning and slowly become more and more worse.
It seems like the AP has problems if links is not perfect and resends
are needed.
I my setup I have at several hotspots two AP, the DWL-3200AP and also much older NetGear, they are supposed to be picked by clients.
The netgear allways win, althought the DLINK has two hughe omni antennas and the NetGear uses the two builton. Hotspot area is about 500 meters radius.
