Hello-

I have a network that I am attempting to setup for a largish area. I would like to use 6 TP-Link TL-WA801N access points to distribute a wireless signal to all of the patrons of a 3 story building, 2 on each floor.
The network is setup in the 10.0.0.0/255.255.240.0 space, with the first 50 addresses outside of the DHCP server's scope. These out of scope addresses are being used by the APs themselves (Static assignment). The APs are all serving 802.11n only, using narrow (20mhz) bands on channels 1, 6, and 11.
When the network is first turned on, it works very well. After roughly 20 minutes of usage, however, the network becomes nearly unusable. Even connecting to addresses in the network is terrible.

If anyone has any ideas what could be causing this, I would love to know.

Thanks!
