This is a continuing discussion of the problems I described in my reply to http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031.
I have a WRT-54G running Tomato 1.17. My SB Receiver is connected via wired Ethernet to the router, as is the Linux server running SqueezeCenter. All of this works great -- SC web interface is snappy, SBR responds quickly, etc. The Controller, however, is in bad shape, losing both wireless connectivity and its DHCP-assigned address all the time. For the short times when it is connecting, I note the following: - Pinging the controller from the wired Linux server is 100% successful, but the responses are slow and spiky (rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 39.646/173.173/327.011/94.522 ms). - Pinging the wired server from the controller (invoked through ssh) drops between 40% and 80% of packets. The successful pings tend to follow a pattern: slow response, fast response, slow, fast, slow, fast -- e.g., 800msec, 7msec, 850msec, 10msec. I think the difference in packet loss between S->C and C->S is a red herring; I don't know enough about how the ping tool works, but I'd guess it's a difference in the two different implementations of ping; perhaps the server's version is more tenacious, so it succeeds more often than the controller's version. I've tried with a different router of the same model, and just to be sure I flashed OpenWRT and a Sveasoft derivative. I cranked down all the wifi settings to their slowest settings (1-2Mbps, etc.) and saw no difference. Is it time to cry uncle and call my controller's hardware bad? I live in San Mateo and drive by Slimdevices' HQ every day; I'd be happy to try a known-good sample at my house, or vice-versa. -- fireupthegrill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fireupthegrill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16176 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45168 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
