HAHA I think its just plain stupid that you cant make all your changes on ALL the tabs then hit save and have it take it. But what's is so F up about it is when you want to say change to one mode or another you have to make one change at a time so it requires a truck roll on the opposite end. I.E you change from AP mode to client mode and your screwed because you cant change the SSID at the same time etc etc Totally not thought out on SB part but they will tell you to use their wonderful tool called simple deploy heheh which is just the lamest tool when it comes to having set different features to individual radios. This does not work well because you still have to hit the stupid reset button to revert back to the default settings should something get hosed up..
There are a lot of wonderful features yet there are some real lame ones too this being the biggest. The other one is when logged into the radio via wireless and you want to do a site survey and you hit the button it reboots the radio! Seems like anything you do reboots the radio WHY? who knows maybe its because if you don't it will lock up or some strange crap like that. I would love to be able to not have it do that each and every time especially if you are trying to keep an eye on the stats and it wipes them out.

I have two aPPOs set up as AP/client. I currently am at the client end of a "PtP" link. I want to switch back to wireless bridge mode. There is no way to do this because the Wireless Bridge tab is unavailable in SimpleMonitor, and I can't set the MAC address of my local aPPO in the remote aPPO's MAC field. I switched to wireless bridge mode on the remote unit, hoping that the MAC address would be stored (since I previously had these two units in wireless bridge mode. This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Why should I have to visit and physically connect to each aPPO to switch operating modes!!! Now I have to drive an hour to the other end, get into the location (which is not open on Sunday), and physically connect an ethernet cable to the unit. Isn't this "wireless" networking! It seems to me that the tab should not be disabled, and should allow you to put in a MAC address and save it before switching operating modes. Jason P.S. If anyone reminds me to bring a crossover cable with me, I'll kick 'em in the nuts. :) The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
