Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2HP
I've had 2 of the Bullet5HP's have bad connectors, not the 2's. Being the geek type, took them apart and found that the fingers coming off the connector had very little solder on them and none was only under the connector and not on the sides or top. Essentially only enough to tack it on. The first one that came loose I thought it was my fault for pushing it too hard so I didn't do an RMA and just fixed it myself and when the second happened, fixed that one too. Easier than an RMA just for solder. Personally I'd like to see a more robust LAN connector and have it attached better in the front to avoid rocking.

I haven't come across that little issue yet, thanks for the heads up!

The mounting brackets are fantastic, I was impressed by them but the connectors are the opposite. I can accept the SMA connectors but only if they're going to the attached rocket.

Re: [WISPA] stimulus announcements thus far
I'm from Maine. Its good for Mainers. Its better for GWI and Fletcher Kittredge who's been looking to overbuild Fairpoint for a very long time. Now he gets his chance. Its going to be bad for the small provider. You're still not going to get a break on connectivity. It will follow GWI's usual pricing model which is very expensive. He's going to get a more advantageous deal for GWI retail and federal money to do the deal. He doesn't even have to put up much of his own money to get it done. Talk about an inside game. Trading one monopoly for another is not good. It does inject a third player into the game, though and that's good.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2HP
Yeah, that would be a nicer cable. Honestly I'm afraid of popping the connector off the UBNT ones when I have to bend it so sharply. It must have been another tradeoff since the area between the rocket and the connector on the antenna is so small, you probably couldnt bend a much thicker cable in such a tight loop.

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2HP
Why would you want the connector on the bottom? So it can fill up with water? Being on the top, the water will run over the connector and not fill it. Makes sense to me.

Re: [WISPA] stimulus announcements thus far
You'd have to ask him. I know that he's in the DSL business and is interested in being Maine's phone company. This project not only provides relief for the desparate middle mile in maine, but if you look at the map on the project website (http://www.threeringmaine.com/map.html ) you'll see that it talks about GWI (Great Works Internet) central offices. That puts GWI in control and if your an independent ISP in Maine, I'd be working that there is oversight and that there is no huge advantage for GWI in the deal. After all, he gets to build the network and he doesn't have to foot the bill for it. Yes it means jobs for Maine, but only a handful. As I said, he's been interested in overbuilding (Fairpoint/Verizon) for years, ever since I installed his first 8 modems back in the 90's. He's built quite a business. He's no shrinking violet, He's brilliant, shrewd and patient. Cheers, Curtis On 12/18/2009 11:29 AM, Aaron D.

[WISPA] public subnet
OK, I've got a good one. I’m trying to pass public subnets to a couple of customers. They worked before I switched them to a new, closer tower. Bascially, it will not show the public IP when checking at whatismyip.combut rather my firewall ip. Obviuosly, I can get on the net with the public ip's. What's weird is that it works at my office which is on the same tower although it is a different access point. However, the AP's are the both WRAP/StarOS units. My AP is running 5GHz and the customers is running 2.4GHz. One other difference is that the customer's CPE is aNS2L and mine is a NS5. I did try a Tranzeo CPQ as well. The only other difference is that the customer is now only one hop from the firewall versus two hops before. Any thoughts? -RickG WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] stimulus announcements thus far
Working with GWI beats working with Fairpoint. They are a skilled and fair project leader. Any participant will have the same advantages provided by the project and could tap in at any splice point on the rings. I counter that it's not a monopoly if no provider can have more than 25% of it. You suggest it might be bad for small providers? It should lower barriers of entry for small providers to kick it up a notch to the next level of service. I'm going to figure out how to exploit three ring binder everywhere it makes business sense. Places where it doesn't, we've got other technologies like wireless. Wireless last mile is one of the intended uses of the project and that has been publicized. Places where it's too far to easily travel, we'll leave it up to a variety of other providers. Getting off Fairpoint is indeed a brilliant goal many ISPs share; I only have a few pots lines from them now. On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 12:11:57PM -0500, Curtis Maurand wrote: You'd have to ask him.

Yes, I did flash is with 3.5 for Bullet2 but no help. Therefore, I'm guessing the Pico ID on the main page must come from the board itself? Now I wonder if a Pico board will fit into a Bullet? Another strange thing I noticed was it came from the factory with the the 3.4 beta firmware on it. I've never seen a manufacturer ship a unit with put beta before.

Re: [WISPA] public subnet
I agree but traceroutes run perfectly. Just to be clear, here is the setup: Inet-RB450G(Firewall)-WRAP/StarOS-CPE-Customer Device (Cisco). The subnet is 204.62.63.76/30. RB450G has the subnet defined in the filter rules as chain forward. The wireless interface on the WRAP has 204.62.63.77 assigned. The CPE is in bridge mode so its on a private IP. The Cisco has 204.62.63.78 assigned to ether1. All with a 255.255.255.252 subnet mask. I tested with my laptop in place of the router. One strange item I noticed. I'm running RIP and it does not see the WRAP with 204.62.63.77 assigned.

Re: [WISPA] public subnet
Mmmm. bridging CPE, make sure its not proxy arping. Check your RIP, if its turned on, on both the wrap and Csico, should be seen. Where is the IP that is doing NAT located, on the RB450? The only way I had that work correctly was to drop all chain rules and tell NAT to source 10.0.0.0/8 when going out dst interface. I have 2 routers at the core one for BGP etc upstream, the other for NAT and in building hand-off (couple lans's and wireless, then the BH's to the rest of the network + the hotspot). RickG wrote: I agree but traceroutes run perfectly. Just to be clear, here is the setup: Inet-RB450G(Firewall)-WRAP/StarOS-CPE-Customer Device (Cisco). The subnet is 204.62.63.76/30. RB450G has the subnet defined in the filter rules as chain forward. The wireless interface on the WRAP has 204.62.63.77 assigned. The CPE is in bridge mode so its on a private IP. The Cisco has 204.62.63.78 assigned to ether1. All with a 255.255.255.252 subnet mask. I tested with my laptop in place of the router. One strange item I noticed. I'm running RIP and it does not see the WRAP with 204.62.63.77 assigned. Any other ideas? -RickG On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 5:13 PM, jree...@18-30chat.net jree...@18-30chat.net wrote: Routing or firewall setup issues. I pass a /24 and a /8 (NAT) across my entire network.

I’m trying to pass public subnets to a couple of customers. They worked before I switched them to a new, closer tower. Bascially, it will not show the public IP when checking at whatismyip.combut rather my firewall ip. Obviuosly, I can get on the net with the public ip's. What's weird is that it works at my office which is on the same tower although it is a different access point. However, the AP's are the both WRAP/StarOS units. My AP is running 5GHz and the customers is running 2.4GHz. One other difference is that the customer's CPE is aNS2L and mine is a NS5. I did try a Tranzeo CPQ as well. The only other difference is that the customer is now only one hop from the firewall versus two hops before. Any thoughts? -RickG WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2
Rick, I have never had a Pico apart, don't even own, but I checked with UBNT and the Pico and the Bullet is the EXACT same hardware on the inside, only difference is the antenna connector. My guess is, somehow a Pico board slipped into the Bullet bin by accident before the antenna connector was put on. UBNT could probably give you the step by step to change it but as it is, it should work perfectly fine at least that's the way it reads on UBNT's site.

Re: [WISPA] UBNT M5 series nanostation
Didn't have AirMax enabled and still 40MHz channels didn't work. Shouldn't they work? Is that what 802.11n is? Anyway, it works with 20MHz channels.
