I had a similar thing with a BT voyager - rebooting the voyager worked a treat! Also happens with my Netgear at home, particularly if I try to run at 54. I guess it is not surprising that 11G drops out more than 11B.

It seems to be a not uncommon problem with SOHO WAPs, especially if you drive them at .11G. I've never seen it happen on the Cisco WAP kit we have at work, though. We have 3 per floor over 4 floors, with interleaved channels (on .11B).

I suppose you get what you pay for!
