Ya….Chris…I agree. However, I have been a beta tester for
them since Dec 02…not just a regular client. I have been providing very detailed
reports and I am used to receiving some word??
That’s what has me worried at the
moment. I can see it now…a
bunch of over-worked technicians banging their heads on their desks.
I have not mass-deployed….dont want
to either. I only have 3 bad units
and all of them are up at the moment (knock on wood).
I wonder if doing a manual upgrade,
downgrade, upgrade, and downgrade knocked some sense into the unit. Cause it’s been working fine ever
since yesterday. Not the first time
that it has worked for 24 hours though. I am holding my breath. I really don’t want to lose these
3 clients.
And I am not ever going to jump on the “lawsuit”
bandwagon either. I am EXTREMELY
impressed with the sB team….from Dilish, to Naveen, to Nish, to Alex, to Seeni, etc…etc….. I believe they must have some serious “insider”
ownership going on. Cause they are
some DAMN hard workers.
Sully
P.S.
I am having a problem with logging into some units at the moment
though??? Has
me stumped. I will address that in
another post.

Sully there working on checking the problem I believe
I saw, remember it's a beta so it is going to be bug ridden hence why they said
not to mass deploy it.
I take it they had a feeling problems like this were
going to arise that's probably why it was released as a beta with all the
warnings because it was a rush beta to get the kinks out in the field because
really in design testing can only show 1/100th of the possible problems that
can occur in software especially firmware for hardware.

I see you are responding to some posts...and I have
never known sB to
NOT monitor this forum 24x7.
So...where is your response to our
problems with this firmware??
Please....we have been patient on this issue...but at
least let us know
that you acknowledge the problem we
are having and are working hard (as
usual) to fix it.
Loyal sB user!

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

Firmware not working for me
Importance: High
Here in my lab, I have a suspected bad unit. 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.

1. 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?

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.

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.

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.
Thanks
