D-Link Randomly Dropped Wireless Link

We have had an ongoing problem with the wireless link going down randomly. It would eventually recover without power cycling anything. It appears to be isolated to be the Dlink as the C-Rio would still be running and had not rebooted. So we swapped to last years Linksys bridge and did not get a single drop of the wireless link with an hour of testing when we had one every 3-5 minutes before.

Power and cabling to the Dlink appears solid and reliable physically and the robot was being very lightly used (no collisions etc). We did not see the Dlink reboot but might have missed it.

Anyone else with similar experiences ? Its near the CPU and sidecar and the converter is right under it. Could EMI be affecting it (but not the Linksys in the same location) ?
