Question : Troubleshooting WiFi connections between 3 AP's on a property

I'm troubleshooting dropped WiFi conections on this property that has 3 outdoor AP's installed around the property; all 3 AP's are mounted on the roof of buildings and there are trees all around the property that are as high or higher than the AP's.

I've driven around the property with my laptop testing signal strength and most areas are covered fairly well it seems. But we're still constantly having to reset one or more of the AP's in order to keep them flowing traffic. Every week we get calls that this customer had to reset the wireless AP's because their guests could not access the Internet or they couldn't connect to the wireless network at all.

Right now I'm focusing on the channels each AP is set to. I've been trying different channel selections but I'm now wondering if I should just set each AP to AUTO for channel selection.

Can anyone give me some good info from experience setting up a multi-AP outdoor wireless network like this? Thanks.

This likely won't work if you have a repeating background.

You ultimately will want something like this [see attached code]:
