Losing Wireless access
We have a office where we have installed two routers and a wireless access point. All of them, once we set them up, give us access to the network and Internet. They will work for a day and then stop. When you try to connect it will cycle through connecting and then saying obtainnig IP address but never establishing a connection.

After reading your reply I can see how I should have worded it differently.
The network has a Cisco Router/VOIP phone system. We installed a wireless router to act as a wireless access point. Because it was already there and not being used. It was later swapped with another router due to the problems with the first. After having issues with two separate previously used routers we purchased a new Zyxel wireless access point.
We are still having the issue on site. We are currently using the wireless access point at a different site and have run it for two days without incident.
Also the Zyxel access point has been flashed to the latest firmware.

Still lacking a bit of details in terms of models/types, but a more pressing question to ask is: What is different from the site where the AP work from where it is not working?
So now you have no wireless at the site where the Zyxel was not working?
Was the syptoms identical when you had the router AP-configured as when you used the Zyxel?

Two bad access points in a row.
Have you flashed the components with the latest firmware?
Does any PC/Mobile phone work or do they ALL stop working at the same time?
I think you will get much faster reply if you add what brand/model/type are the components (router(s), AP(s) and what unit(s) are not getting IP adresses)
