I was having similar problems with our wireless network. We would show a
laptop had good to excellent connection to the access point, but there
would be no connection to the network. It seemed to reach critical
irritation when we threw a couple wireless projectors in the mix.
I work with DesignDATA netowrk consultants, offices in Gaithersburg, MD.
Since our system was aged, we ended up putting new equipment in part of
the building. We are a three story building, we put new Cisco access
points on the top two floors where our heaviest users work, as well as a
new controller. We still had trouble. The solution that seems to have us
cooking along brilliantly was to disable the rest of the old equipment.
They seemed to be causing confusion.=20
If you are looking for help with your wireless setup, you might give
DesignDATA a call. Specify you want a wireless expert for your engineer.

Subject: Looking for excellent wireless help
Good morning.
Does anyone have a recommendation for someone in the DC/Silver Spring
area who can help us out with our wireless system? Frankly, it has just
never worked right, and as we push/cajole kids and faculty into using
laptops, we're running into this bottleneck of frustration with endless
waits for logging on, network not available messages, dropped
connections, etc.
What we need is someone who is really, really good with this stuff and
who can come in and analyze what's going on, fix it, and leave us with
some info as to typical responses we an execute when typical things go
awry.
Thanks for your help!
