[WISPA] Ubiquiti - quick question

2012-10-11 Thread Eric Tykwinski
My boss just picked up a Rocket M2 and a few PicoStation 2s for a free WiFi access point situation. Basically, it's going to be a star grid running WDS from the Rocket to each Pico with AP access at each location. My problem is the Rocket doesn't seem to want to do AP-Repeater for some reason,

? What makes you think the Rocket is acting as a station? First, can you define a few? The suggestion of what you want to do is almost certainly a bad idea and will result in poor performance unless you are only planning to feed the main AP with a meg or two. None-the-less. If you insist

Not my choice on setup but his... I'm thinking he's only going to have about 3 Pico's and the Rocket. Basically, I can connect to a PicoStation from my laptop. With just the Rocket on, it isn't acting as an AP. The PicoStation's can connect to the Rocket without any issues. So imho that tends

With just the rocket on it isn't acting as an AP? You've got something misconfigured then. Can you attach a screenshot of your MAIN Rocket tab as well as the WIRELESS tab? On 10/11/12 10:02 AM, Eric Tykwinski wrote: Not my choice on setup but his... I'm thinking he's only going to have

I just did a setup similar to this a couple days ago for a temp setup for PGA tournament. Even though I knew better, I forgot to turn off AirMax on all AP-Repeaters and almost pulled my hair until I remembered it. Matt Brendle - NCW -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org

[WISPA] Ubiquiti Radios as routers

We currently use Ubiquiti radios in bridge mode and assign a ip address to the customers router. He have heard other wisp are using the Ubiquiti radio as a router. Would like feed back why one would do this when it appears customers would be double natted when they hook up their routers? Or does

Almost all of my customers have NAT'ed Ubnt CPE radios. The handful that need a static get charged for it (or free if business) and then I do the port forwrading for them. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at

We run Ubiquiti CPE in router mode and it acts as the NAT router for the customer. We install a wifi router inside as part of standard install package, but just run it as a switch+AP. This gives us more visibility into customer network for troubleshooting and abuse detection (why does this house

All my customers are natted at the CPE unless they have Static IP. Actually we Nat at the AP as well. So they are triple Natted and I have lots of customers doing VPN's and every form of video and music and have never had one problem. Pro's: Customer can plug PC right into POE or switch and

We do it because it makes customer maintenance a lot easier. They can replace/remove their router without having to call the office or changing settings in their computer or router, everything comes with DHCP enabled default. There are very few places where the customer will ever know. If

We run MT, not UBNT, CPE, but it doesn't matter what brand it is. We run them in as routers, but do not NAT. Same benefits others mentioned for routing, just one fewer NAT. Never have a problem with it this way and can't see any good reason to NAT there. On 10/11/2012 3:46 PM, Arthur

I do wish they made it a bit more carrier in that regard. I use PPPoE because I can control everything that way, but it sure would be nice to use something to control all of that business, then let their device manage IPs... just like cable. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing
