The problem we were having with the bad airPoint
Pro Outdoor units was not the association problem, the units would completely
lock up. If you looked at a unit that was locked up, the Ethernet LED
would be off completely, and the TXRX LED would be on solid, not passing data on
either the Ethernet or wireless side. I don't quite understand why it
works, put pinging them continuously would bring them back to life.

I don't understand how pinging a client radio
that is not associated to the AP is going to bring it back to life and
re-associate? Maybe I am missing something here or is this just a fix for the
APPO if you can get to it from the LAN side??

Yes, they are running very well. I did
have one lock up once, night before last, but I pinged and it came back and
has been up ever since. It was while I was trying to associate a new
customer and was getting interference from a new competitor.
Thank you,
Gloria

Hi Gloria,
Appreciate you
could update the status of the 4 aPPO (Post-June) units from
Singapore, have they been
running well so far?

I would love to
do that - you guys have been so great and supportive, but I would be
afraid they are lurking on this list and see it and I don't want to risk
giving them any reasons to come after me anymore than they already
are. Last night the customer that was seeing their ap was not able
to get online. I was on the phone with him until almost midnight
trying to get him back up, to no avail. I could see his airBridge
for a while, even logged into it from this end. When I did, I saw
two of my aps and one of the other guy's. All three of them had less
than 25% signal strength, so was unable to get the customer back
up. We are going out there tonight when he gets home from work and
changing out his antenna with one that has a tighter beam width. He
was working fine the night before, 100% RSSI on one of our AP's, then when
he got home from work last night and tried to get online, no go. I
hope to get time today to go do some war driving and see if I can find his
ap's.
Thanks guys - I
appreciate all the advice and support,

I
hate to say play dirty but they really suck. You might accidently post
their IP range and MAC addresses on here :-)

I don't really
know for sure what they are using, simpleMonitor showed me the MAC
address of their ap and I looked it up and found out it is an Aironet
MAC address. When we called them over a month ago to try and
cooperate with them, they told us they were going to be running on
channels 1, 6, & 11. We told them that we were running on
channels 1, 4, 8, & 11 and asked them if they could change their
channels, they basically said they would do what they want, wherever
they want, and it is our problem, not theirs. Even when we told
them, nicely, that we were here first, we already had customers online
on those channels, they didn't give a s**t. I may be over reacting
too soon, but I am going by the attitude they gave us when we talked to
them. There seemed to be absolutely no interest on their part to
get along or cooperate or share the spectrum.
