Wireless Connection Randomly Drops

hi, we have bought 2 brand new Linksys WAP54G Access Points and are
having the same issues with both. we have them connected to our network
and in general they seem to work. But once or twice a day all connected
users are chucked off and cant seem to connect for 2-3 minutes
afterwards. Both APs weren't running at the same time. we have started
using WPA and have used the latest firmware and tried multiple
channels.

does anymore have any suggestions? do you think we need to purchase
more 'business like' access points?

many thanks

Nigel

Likely causes of your problem:
* Router choking on peer-to-peer filesharing
* Wireless interference

What does your protocol analyzer log say ?
Any clues ?
