wpa problems again...

I posted here a few weeks ago, that I had setup a business with WPA-PSK (
using a dlink router).... and had problems with network drives not being
there when software opened up, and all-in-all just a general instability
going on...

So I switched it to WEP and all was well, my plan was to go back in a few
weeks after everything was more stable with the business setup, and switch
it over to WPA again...

Another business asked about his security with his setup. He had WEP and he
read articles about war-driving, etc...So we switched him over to WPA, with
a netgear router. And he is having a horrible time with it as well... Today
he called and said his network going down every 20 minutes. The other day,
one of his computers lost their connectivity, and we were trying to remote
desktop into it....we had to manually connect it again from that machine.

Someone said that it is the same as WEP in a sense, but I beg to differ. I
am not exactly sure how it works, but I am sure of the results I have
gotten. I know, usually I am against wireless anyways (always have been,
always preferred a wired setup), but recently have been more liberal with my
clients about the wireless, but now with all these problems with WPA, and
the security risk with WEP, I am almost in the same boat again...

Am I crazy? Am I the only one having these "instability" issues with WPA?

Thanks....
