I own a 3054CB3 Long Range AP/Bridge, firmware version 2.2.0. It's running in AP mode and currently I'm unable to make a 802.11g connection with it. I see the wireless network, connect to it, recieve and IP, and then lose the connection. It cycles like this indefintely. I've tried 802.11g only max performance and 802.11g standard mode are the same results. I've tried 802.11b only as well as 802.11g/b mixed mode, but nothing allows a 802.11g or 802.11b card to connect to it. I've tried a Belkin 802.11b, a Compaq WL2000 802.11b, a USR 802.11g card, and a Netgear WG311 v2 802.11g. Prior to my firmware upgrade I was able to get a connection using Mix mode with the 802.11g cards, the 802.11b cards would connect but give me an invalid IP address.

DHCP is disabled as a client and as a server (set to a static address with a router/firewall serving DHCP which worked prior to firmware upgrade). WEP/WPA is not enabled. PSM mode IS enabled. (all other advanced wireless settings are default)

It is accessible from a wired connection. I've tried different channels, reloading the firmware, reseting to defaults and rebuilding settings, using the built in reset button and rebuiltin, multiple modes, multiple methods of reseting the device in various orders (web reboot, hard power off with time and without time, both at various intervels, etc)

different client adapter cards and various distance s doesn't seem to affect it. I have an senao/engenius NL-3054cb Aries 802.11g PCMCIA card enroute to me, but I'm guessing the same results.

I'd like further lines of pursue and futher assistance on this problem. I'm also curious if anyone has Senao/Engenius's tech support number. I'd like to hash this out with them if I can get a hold of a real person.

I am having the exact same issues, but just to let you know, it's a DHCP relay issue. The access point is not correctly relaying DHCP traffic to the clients. If DHCP server is enabled on the access point, things work perfectly. However, 90% if not more of clients wont' use a DHCP server inside an AP, that's what routers and servers are for. I have had no success getting in contact with Senao/Engenius regarding this. I have this occuring on 2 AP's from them.

How is it a DHCP relay problem when the OP clearly states that he is using STATIC IP addressing?

Upon what basis to you place your 90% of clients won't use a DHCP server inside an AP? If they won't use it, chances are it's that particular brands implementation of DHCP, and not of the client. I would say that there could be some issues with some clients not connecting to a DHCP on any given device, but 90% sounds an awful lot like hyperbole.
