It takes 60 seconds before DHCP even times out. If you use short preamble then it can take several minutes before the unit associates. Long preamble takes less time but it can still take a few minutes.

I installed a new client 2 days ago. The client was about 2 blocks from my head-end unit. The client was not associating for some reason on their side. However, when I logged into the aPPo, it showed that the client was associated with super RSSI/LQ. It took about 5 minutes before the client actually fully associated. Seemed odd to me. Is this the timing problem we are all experiencing?? FACTS: My head-end aPPo is new from June. My client airBridge is new also bought in June.

I think now what they are dealing with is a timing issue the further out you go the worse it gets??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Wirefree Network" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 3:45 PM Subject: RE: Re[2]: [smartBridges] Firmware Issue I was actually wondering the same thing myself. What exactly is this firmware doing?? If it is degrading the radio performance to mask the actual root problem, then please let us know. It is one thing to have degraded airBridge at a client's home, it is another if my head-end aPPo is NOT operating at PEAK efficiency. Please assure us that this is NOT the case. Thanks!!

"MAGIC" is BS when the customer quits telling me they are always down. I don't believe for an instant that "firmware" is fixing an overheating issue. I was trained as an Electronics Tech and have 12 plus years of fixing electronics to the board level as experience. Adding some code is not going to change a flaky component. Basically is the firmware degrading the radio operation to the point the component does not overheat? Fortunately, I only have a few SB products left in the system plus the ones in the junk box.
