WAP11 v2.6 Repeater Mode

I have two WAP11 v2.6 units, both with the v1.07 firmware. One WAP11 acts
as my primary access point and the other is several rooms away (where the
signal strength is low, but present) and is in 'Repeater' mode. The 'Access
Point' WAP11 is solid -- I have never really had any issues with it. The
'Repeater' however connects, works for a bit and then disconnects from the
'Access Point' WAP11. I have attached the session log for 'Repeater' below.
Here's what I have done so far, with no luck -- LinkSys Tech support has
been of absolutely no use in the matter so far.

- Setup up a script on one of my PCs to ping the two APs every couple of
minutes

- Changed channels from 1 to 6 to 11 on both WAPS

- Hard reset the two WAPs and re-flashed the v1.07 firmware, reset all
settings.

- Tried physically swapping the devices (ie: 'Repeater' became AP and Vice
Versa)

- Looked over and attempted to tweak any possible setting which *might* have
some sort of impact on this issue. To date, nothing has worked.

- Power Cycled both units.

Note, the tim interval between connects and disconnects tends to vary with
power-cycles. Sometimes its a few seconds, others it minutes -- but once
the "pattern" kicks in, it just starts doing this nonsense. It does not
take very long for it to start, and the 'Repeater' is always the device
having issues. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
