RE: [smartBridges] New APPO disassociating

[Shawn Mitchell]

Bobby,   are you taking the "can't connect" as a disassocation?  If you see my earler post, it's conected just fine, but it won't pass a single packet.  The APPO is brand new (2 weeks old now) and the AB that I used I was able to connect to other APPO's in the same area and pass traffic just fine.   Most of my users that kept saying that they were unable to associate, was actually that they couldn't "go anywhere" (couldn't pass traffic) once I started questioning them.  Even AP's that I never had an issue with before started the same thing.  Today I took them back to the oldest FW on sb's website, and I have a lot of happy people. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Bobby Bounds Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 1:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] New APPO disassociating Just installed a new one last week. Got a bunch of calls from customers the last few days....about the same time of day....."very slow", "can't connect", then a few hours later, they cycle power on the CPE and they connect. This is an existing installation where the previous APPO worked w/o incident until a surge got the ethernet side and we replaced it with a new APPO.   So, the new APPO is disassociating. I was feeling left out reading all the other posts about this happening, but now I too, share in this common fate. Hey SB, count the posts of this happening in the last two weeks. Your latest units hitting the street are DEFECTIVE. . . . just like the ones that came before them.   APPO = Always Pissing People Off   ABO = Another Bad Outdoor (unit)   (gotta let off some steam.....)   Oh, and Nish, the tone of some of your posts comes across to me like you are second guessing us before checking facts. May I suggest you take us at our word first, then use FACTS to prove us wrong. We're big boys, we can handle it. You, personally appear to be dismissing these latest posts out of hand. Why don't you fly an engineer out here to see for themselves? Seriously, they can stay at my house and save money. It's worth it, SB is at stake, whatever that means to you.   Just to clarify, this unit had the white sticker on the outside of the box about upgrading firmware, which, of course we did. I just want to crawl in a hole and die.   Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC
