Only have 1 Pro on my network and it hasn't given me any issues, several 
of the original AP and AP-LR as well without issues.

What is the uptime on the AP?  You should be able to ssh into the APs 
using the controller username and password.  It is a linux base so 
'uptime' will tell you.  You can also check for ethernet errors using 
'ip -s link' on the AP side.
