Can't connect to unleashed randomly, so confusing

I'll try to be brief...

Have 4 r710 in my house in unleashed configuration. Has been pretty solid for ~3 years.

Came home the other evening and wifi was out, nothing in the house connected. After two days of resetting APs, trying to get any of them in isolation to work, I concluded the Ethernet patch cable was the culprit - the only constant as I brought each AP to the same room to try and troubleshoot. That seemed to work. I was able to start over setting up the network, and everything, mostly, reconnected.

I noticed an odd device or two wouldn't connect. My son's iPad and a meta VR headset. The next my phone, which was connected the day before, wouldn't connect. I thought maybe too many IPs so I increased the range in my pfsense router to have 150 addresses available. Seemed to work, for a day or two.

 

Now my phone and my wife's phone won't connect again. Most devices in the house are connected. I'm getting "couldn't get an IP address" message on my phone most often when I try to connect. After restarting an AP or two, I've seen "failed to connect" I steady 

I downloaded syslog on the ruckus and can see where my phone's MAC apparently successfully connected to vlan1, then ten seconds later disconnected, then left. That was when I manually tried to connect immediately before pulling the logs.

When I turn on debugging in ruckus and enter my phone's MAC address, I see no activity.

I can't see anything in pfsense or the ruckus configuration that points me to what is going on. Really frustrating.

Any thoughts?
