The behavior of the airbridge
firmware is that when there is no traffic passed for the certain period, the
airbridge becomes idle but the LINK STATUS shows that it is REMAIN associated.
Once the traffic (browsing, ping or any application) is kicked in, then it
will wake up again and start talking to the access point.
Since watchdog feature firmware
continuously monitoring the link at every 3 minutes interval which will make
sure that the LINK STATUS is up all the times and it is not necessary to run
continuous PING to wake
up the unit.
I have done all my best effort to
reproduce it here, but I always failed to reproduce it in our LAB setup. The
LAB setup done with airbridge 0.01.08 which is connected to the Linksys switch
and 3 more PCs are connected behind the switch, No traffic pass thru and it
was running for about 3 days during the weekend.
After 3 days, we logged into the
unit, can browse and Ping to the
gateway without having any power reset. We have tried by manually power OFF
the AP (to check the aB reset) for certain period and then ON back again and
still airbridge passes the traffic again.
When you are seeing the Ethernet
lockup with our BETA 0.01.08, can you see the link status is UP or not?
If any one interested, please
kindly try using the above setup at your LAB and see whether you can able to
reproduce it there. If really an issue, then we also should be able
reproduce it here at any time.
We appreciate your feedback on
this new beta firmware which is really helps (making busy) us to identify any
root cause of the problem.
Thank you
Kind regards,
Seeni

This is what I do. I ping everyone's router every 3
minutes and I never
have a problem. I use a nice windows tool called
smonitor.
