Ok, I've been out, and
determined that the real trouble
is most likely the switch
the ABO is plugged into. After
looking over the manual
of these switches that I just
bought and installed, it
seems they don't support 10Mbit
half duplex. They will do
100Mbit half duplex, but not 10.
Due to this complication,
and not having the time or money
left to go testing switch
after switch after switch, I'm
sticking with the
Teletronics radio, putting a Linksys Cable/
DSL router between it and
the clients, and having it perform
the PPPoE login. Then the
client routers can connect to this
router and the radio will
only have to pass the MAC of the
one
router.
It at least gets the
clients up and running.
After reading the link
you gave below, I'm willing to try
the HotSpot
enabled-address method and see if that does the
trick. I'll let
everyone know what I find as soon as I get
out there to make the
changes.
Kelvin,
I believe you are
using the Mikrotik for Hotspot authentication either using DHCP Pool or
Enabled Address method. When you mentioned “ability to get an
address, but not ping the gateway “, this is more to integration issue rather than the ABO
itself. We have tested this before and this is true if you are using DHCP
pool method. Please refer to http://www.smartbridges.com/new/support/faq_ab.php#140
for more info. WET11 has the same issue to get that to work. Maybe Eje can
explain that in details why it is a problem.
If this is without
the authentication, I bet that the ABO is working.

I've tried two
other ABOs at this location, and tried all
the different
firmware versions. I'm going to attempt one
more time today
since we just kicked one guy off that had
Nachi and was
broadcasting ping and NetBios packets all over
I'll let you know
how it turns out. If we can't get the SB
radio working
today I'll be replacing it with a WET 11 to
see how that
goes. I just have to find a container to put
it in for
weatherproofing.
As for the
ability to get an address, but not ping the
gateway, I'm not
sure. Once I changed to a different
brand of radio I
was able to ping the gateway, and pull
up our HotSpot
page. I couldn't do that with the ABO in
place no matter
what I tried.

This
could be device specific problem. Have you tried to replace the unit? It
is weird that client can get an IP address but couldn’t go anyway, does it
able to ping to the accesspoint or gateway. As to the slowness, can it
because of the recent virus hit? The problem should be something else, if
not interference, collision, packet loss..

Well, after
fighting with this one connection for weeks
I finally
decided to swap the ABO for a different brand
of radio. While
it appears to be only able to pass one
MAC address in
client bridge mode, it's doing what it's
supposed to do,
and all the problems that we were having
A run down of
the problems..
- Client could
get an address from DHCP, but couldn't go
- PPPoE login
worked, but speed was VERY slow and sporadic.
- ABO worked
better with 0.09.10 firmware, but the slowness
was
killing the connection.
I tried
changing radios, I tried different firmware
versions,
I spent a great
deal of time and money on various things trying
to fix this
problem. Nothing worked except a different radio.
Does anyone
happen to know if the WET11 will pass multiple
MACs?
