Thanks for the input everyone. I'm considering taking a group of test users and forcing them to connect using 802.11a to see if their problems go away.

As an extra punch in the face, the main application being used over the wireless network is a PoS called Meditech that is latency sensitive. The application actually closes out when it loses connection, thus nurses lose charting data on patients and have to start over.
Sometimes it seems like its just Meditech dropping because Odyssey doesn't disconnect.

May I ask what type of clients are disconnecting? Are these clients IBM/Lenovo laptops or other INTEL based wireless chipsets?

Dell laptops with intel chipsets using Odyssey client.

Power-save settings are disabled.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
