I woke this morning and flipped the channel back to channel 1 on my AP. All my clients flipped over an NO aged packets?!?!?!
WHAT THE @#$#?!?!? Does anyone know what causes the AGED PACKETS? Could this have been jamming. It started all of a sudden...only affect channel one (after many months) and stopped sometime last night.

I reburned my settings again with simpleDeploy (using channel 1--as usual). I think it didn't take the last time I tried a few minutes ago. I was still receiving TONS of aged packets (which has been happening for 1.5 hours now). I changed channels to channel 6 and all my clients (19 of 30 so far) jumped right over and associated. ZERO aged packets. So...now it looks like it is some sort of channel 1 issue?!?!?! I switched it back to 1 and everyone starts dropping off like flies and the AGED PACKETS go through the roof. I switched back to channel 6...and everyone is fine (19 of 30 so far)...ZERO aged packets. Obviously I am going to leave it on channel 6 for now...but...what the HELL?!?! Anyone have any ideas?? Sully P.S. I opened simpleNMS to try to wake the units (seeing how they are all manually set) by a ping or snmp query. It worked on all but 3 units. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Wirefree Network Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 5:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] WHOA: Aged Packets going thru the roof Before I do that....I changed the channel from 1 to 6 (I don't use 6). I immediately STOPPED receiving "aged packets" and started receiving "multicast packets"...still zero "unicast packets". I still don't have any associated clients though. I guess all my clients are hardcoded into channel 1 and wont swap over to channel 6. What could be causing this??? Is this what happens when someone JAMS you??? Never saw it from this end. Doesn't it figure that I sent my spectrum analyzer and grasshopper down south with an install team!!!! Maybe I can go sniff it with netstumbler??? What exactly is AGED PACKETS?? Does anyone think this is jamming??

If you think your aPPO is unstable, use the airPointPRO recovery utility to recalibrate the memory and then restore the entries or values to the unit. Then monitor the clients association with aPPO.

Looks like my aPPo took a big turd?!!? Great and no backup!! I actually tried to order one today even...still haven't heard back from anyone on if there are any in stock anywhere?!?!? Any suggestions?!?!

Half of them cant even associate now?!?! I performed a "restore to factory default", then quickly reloaded the MAC authentication listing. However, only about half of my clients are reassociated. I am also receiving a HIGH ack failure rate...not abnormally higher than normal...but high nonetheless. It is the "aged packets" that's killing me though. I am running 1.4j.5 firmware on this OLDER style aPPo (not with pigtail). Any ideas....PLEASE!??!

What causes this?!?! I also noticed that my ping times to ALL clients behind this aPPo is running an average of 1895 ms. Compared to less than 10 ms for all my clients behind my other aPPo. Ethernet statistics show great. Does this mean that my aPPo is CRASHING?!??!
