I run a neighborhood WISP and my WAP uses a Soekris board with a Senao 2511CDPLUS EXT2.
Recently a couple of my clients have been experiencing timeout problems to the extent that they can't use my service. I've been logging pings from the WAP to their WET11's and most of the time they return normal pings. But every few minutes the ping times go up to several seconds, then return to normal again. For example... Sat Nov 15 20:17:02 PST 2003 93 dBm 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=13.6 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=11.4 ms Sat Nov 15 20:18:02 PST 2003 93 dBm 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=10113.4 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=7180.8 ms Sat Nov 15 20:19:01 PST 2003 93 dBm 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=23.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.168.70: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=5.4 ms The clients have consistently strong radio signals (90+ dBm) - only the IP is erratic. When I use my laptop (with D-Link card) at the client location it works fine. I've tried several things like swapping out the WET11 client, turning packet shaper off, changing max speed. These haven't helped. Could this problem be due to interference or...? I'd really appreciate any ideas. Alan in San Jose __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
