How is that setup? What encryption is used on the connection? Why would DHCP be the only affected traffic? Try installing the Microsoft network monitor software on the client if Windows and capture traffic (you can capture filter for just DHCP if you wish, but other traffic may hold the key here). I would then take the capture to Wireshark for analysis.

You will always have collisions in the wireless network. It is a shared medium like the old hub days. The difference is how in wired networks, it is called carrier sense / collision detection where in the wireless it is called carrier sense / collision avoidance.

Has Meru been able to offer any ideas why this is happening?

Good luck.

thanks.
