Have a look at three things..

1. When does the error occur, immediately after a PPPoE service restart, 
or the Mikrotik is restarted? We've noticed that if the service is 
stopped, Mikrotik doesn't send all the Disconnect packets, so you can 
have IP mismatches, and other issues which really aren't the fault of 
the Radius server.

2. Have a good look at your wireless log, and try talking to some of the 
clients who have the issue, it may be a CPE problem, or maybe they just 
have a crappy signal.

3. Look at things like Idle Timeouts, and see if your NAS has any errors 
like Radius Timeout..

4. As an aside, if you're doing 2.4 GHz, you could just be subject to 
DOS issues..
