Re: [WISPA] routers
Netopia still makes routers with Ethernet WAN interfaces. I use the 3386-ENT for the occasional customer who does not have their own firewall. So far they have been rock solid. Telnet only configuration. VPN, basic QoS, etc. is built in. They are $100 a pop. There is also a version with a wireless G radio built in, the 3387WG-ENT. I like these things because they just work, have a good feature set, and are reasonably priced.

Easier said then done, when distributers keep changing what hardware rev they stock. Darn near impossible to keep it straight. We are doing our best to stay away from the 54G linksys AP's now because we found that most of the models have problems with ARP over wireless. Symptoms like loosing connectivity for 30 seconds at at a time. We still use the higher end Linksys VPN routers, more often. They seem to be more stable. But I have to say, finding stable low end routers is a challenge. We are finding it more common that we end up using higher end Security appliances instead. (sonic walls, Watch Guards, Fortigate, etc). But I would much prefer a true router. I will say that Netopia used to make a Ethernet to Ethernet router that was identical to their integrated DSL routers. Not sure if they still do. What I might suggest is keeping a look out for a low cost Layer3 switch. Not quite cheap yet, but starting to get affordable. Intellinet has their OSPF capable layer2/3 switch (24 port 100baseT, 4 port Gigabit, 8-16K of table space) for about $750. Netgear has their 12port OSPF capable layer3 switch for about $300. (only can handle about 500 entries in its OSPF table, so just good for for end user STUB type configurations).

I tried flashing it over the weekend and finally found one it let me upload, but I appear to have bricked the device. I can probably fix it via boot_wait, and would love to know what firmware has been used successfully to reflash with. You need to TFTP the mini version, then the full version. V24 from the stable branch. I see that they have again redone the download structure. downloads, stable, v24SP1, Consumer, Linksys, WRT160N_v1. I do not know what has changed since the version ive been using is about 3 months old. I find with ddrt like all other software, find one that works and keep it. The next largest issue is that they skimp on the hardware resources, the 310 has 32mb ram where most other units have 16 or even as little as 8. That just is not enough with out a well produced firmware. Exactly. -- Charles Wyble (818) 280 - 7059 http://charlesnw.blogspot.com CTO Known Element Enterprises / SoCal WiFI project WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Providers
We've been white labeling with Vox since late Winter and really enjoy it. The call quality is great for us and we don't usually have many problems other than our own network, which is mostly 900mhz.

Re: [WISPA] Part 15 Frequency Chart
Mike, 5.4G to 5.7G is 250 MHZ of available spectrum. I do not believe there is a limit on channel size or center frequency. That would be determined by the Radio Chipset. Of course, DFS is MANDATORY, and not easy to predetermine what channels are pre-used in your target site location. Just because, the other users of the band, hop between channels from now and then. I believe there were three type usage for previous licensors. The radar deployments can be looked up on the ULS. Someone posted a more detailed explanation of this six months or so ago, on this list. It might have been Dustin. Usability of the band can be highly conditional on your antenna beamwidth, and its ability to prevent your deployment from hearing Radar. The Trango 5.4 default center channels are (5480..5720 MHz) [Ch#05] 5500 dfs [Ch#06] 5520 dfs [Ch#07] 5540 dfs [Ch#08] 5560 dfs [Ch#09] 5580 dfs [Ch#10] 5600 dfs [Ch#11] 5620 dfs [Ch#12] 5640 dfs [Ch#13] 5660 dfs [Ch#14] 5680 dfs [Ch#15] 5700 dfs Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband - Original Message - From: Mike Delp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 11:33 AM Subject: [WISPA] Part 15 Frequency Chart I am looking for an up to date chart with all of the unlicensed frequencies covered by part-15 rules.

[WISPA] mobile caching solution
I have a situation where police cars will be driving and moving out of a 2.4/4.9 GHz network, and I would like to use something like Netmotion/Inmotion to seamlessly switch them to the cellular network. Does anyone have any caching solutions? When a cop car goes from wi-fi to cellular, they will take a huge hit in terms of bandwidth, and anything that is being queued (e.g. video) will need to be stored temporarily while it either trickles upstream slowly or is uploaded quickly when it comes within range of wi-fi coverage.

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Providers
Joe is exactly right, he waited about nine months for a personal request to get Powercode integrated with his preferred VoIP solution. As much as we wanted to get the solution integrated, other features and functions requested from our current customer base took priority, as they always have and will. Had he placed an original order, or paid for the service/integration to begin with, we would have willingly signed any performance guarantees or contracts to ensure the integration would take place by 'X' amount of time. Throughout that time, we continuously offered the great VoIP solutions we were already integrated with (Alianza, Bicom, etc), but he was firm on his original decision. We appreciated Joe's patience and we will have integration with his VoIP platform in the near future as we are almost finished with a complete revamp of our software platform, allowing us to look into further integrations in every service category.

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Providers
Even if Powercode was a vendor sponsor of WISPA (not sure one way or the other), openly hawking product on the general WISPA list seems to be frowned upon. - Original Message - From: Austin Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 3:47 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] VOIP Providers My apologies to the entire list.

As much as we wanted to get the solution integrated, other features and functions requested from our current customer base took priority, as they always have and will. Had he placed an original order, or paid for the service/integration to begin with, we would have willingly signed any performance guarantees or contracts to ensure the integration would take place by 'X' amount of time. Throughout that time, we continuously offered the great VoIP solutions we were already integrated with (Alianza, Bicom, etc), but he was firm on his original decision. We appreciated Joe's patience and we will have integration with his VoIP platform in the near future as we are almost finished with a complete revamp of our software platform, allowing us to look into further integrations in every service category.

[WISPA] Thanks to Roc-Noc
I'd like to put out a big thanks to Tom Harker of Roc-Noc. I botched some Mikrotik upgrades today and needed some boards ASAP. I called Tom up at 2 in the afternoon. He had a dentist (or was it doctor, I dunno) appointment to go to, but would get my order together for me. By 3:00 I was on my way home with a bunch of new gear. I was only able to swap out two customers before it was too late, but I couldn't have done it if Tom didn't get me the gear that quickly.

Re: [WISPA] Thanks to Roc-Noc
Mike, It is really nice to hear compliments on vendors instead of griping. We should all do more of this, we have many excellent vendors who work very hard to take care of our needs for pretty slim margins. I'm not sure if Tom is a member of this list, but someone should pass this compliment on to him.
