Repost due to ZERO response from sB on this issue. Why is this firmware not allowing association to some aPPo's???

I upgraded the firmware, and it will NOT reassociate with the intended aPPo. I switched the SSID/Freq to my other aPPo and it associated right up. I did this about 5 times both ways. Every time it was the same. I downgraded the firmware back to (0.01.04) and it associated right up with the intended aPPo. Upgraded again and it lost association. I have confirmed that there are ABSOLUTELY no differences in the settings of my two aPPos except for this: - Different SSIDs - Different freq's - One is new aPPo with short pigtail, one is older aPPo with hardwired CAT5 The unit that I can not associate to is the older unit. None of the older sB equipment is having any problems. Everything is on the older firmware as well: aPPo = 1.4j.5 airBridge indoors = 0.01.04 (tried upgrading to 0.01.06) Of the 17 I installed in the last 2 weeks, three are experiencing the "lost association" problem. I replaced all 3 units (including POE units) and all 3 are still having problems. That is VERY odd. Although I did receive all these units (30) at the same time (almost all consecutive MAC addresses). Still doesn't explain why only these 3 are having problems and none of the other 14. I wouldn't think it was too odd if it weren't for the fact that I R&R'd all 3 units and they are still losing association, whereas all the other 14 new clients are humming right along. I really think there is something more to this. No...it is not frequency or multipath or whatever. I have sniffed out the entire area. They are clean and very good RSSI/LQ. All 17 of these installs are within a half mile of the aPPo and clear LOS.

I dont have any more client info entered in any of my devices.

Older aPPo (about 3 months old..older type unit with hardwired CAT5) running 1.4j.5 firmware. 2. Client airBridge indoor units are running older firmware as well 0.01.04. 3. SSID is only 3 characters long 4. Preupgrade RSSI and LQ was in the 90's for both (when associated of course). I am wondering if I need the newer firmware on all devices first of all, then load the BETA firmware on the suspect devices???? I had held off on the last round of firmware upgrades due to others experiencing problems. I am about to try another upgrade here in my lab with one bad unit. Will keep you posted!

Mike and Sully. What FW are you running on the AP that the upgraded units will not associate with? What was your pre-upgrade RSSI and LQ? What is the length of the ESSID on the AP that the units will not associate with? Mike, are there anyother differences between the APs that the upgraded units will assoiate with and the APs they will not associate with? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Wirefree Network Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 6:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Anyone having issues with the new firmware? I tried to upgrade one of 3 freezing units and it would not associate with the AP. This is the only AP within range of all 3 units, so I dont know what to do at this point. I had to downgrade back to old firmware to reassociate.

Update, I have 7 AP's running the same firmware. For some reason upgrading the firmware on the AirBriges kills their ability to associate with two of seven AP's. I can associate with any of the other five and all seems to be working well. Not sure why yet. --Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Saathoff Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 12:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Anyone having issues with the new firmware? Sam, It either works or it dosen't.....Sounds funny but, what I mean is that the upgrade seems to resolve the heat issue. Though I haven't had any real heat the last couple days. The bad side is that it seems to kill my ability to associate with some of my AP's. --Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sam Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 12:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Anyone having issues with the new firmware? Has anyone installed the new firmware? I'm getting ready to try, but wanted to check first to see what sort of luck others have had.
