Kelvin,
I believe you are
using the Mikrotik for Hotspot authentication either using DHCP Pool or
Enabled Address method. When you mentioned “ability to get an
address, but not ping the gateway “, this is more to integration issue rather than the ABO
itself. We have tested this before and this is true if you are using DHCP pool
method. Please refer to http://www.smartbridges.com/new/support/faq_ab.php#140
for more info. WET11 has the same issue to get that to work. Maybe Eje can
explain that in details why it is a problem.
If this is without
the authentication, I bet that the ABO is working.

I've tried two other ABOs at
this location, and tried all
the different firmware versions.
I'm going to attempt one
more time today since we just
kicked one guy off that had
Nachi and was broadcasting ping
and NetBios packets all over
I'll let you know how it turns
out. If we can't get the SB
radio working today I'll be
replacing it with a WET 11 to
see how that goes. I just have
to find a container to put
it in for
weatherproofing.
As for the ability to get an
address, but not ping the
gateway, I'm not sure. Once I
changed to a different
brand of radio I was able to
ping the gateway, and pull
up our HotSpot page. I couldn't
do that with the ABO in
place no matter what I
tried.

This
could be device specific problem. Have you tried to replace the unit? It is
weird that client can get an IP address but couldn’t go anyway, does it able
to ping to the accesspoint or gateway. As to the slowness, can it because of
the recent virus hit? The problem should be something else, if not
interference, collision, packet loss..

Well, after fighting with this
one connection for weeks
I finally decided to swap the
ABO for a different brand
of radio. While it appears to
be only able to pass one
MAC address in client bridge
mode, it's doing what it's
supposed to do, and all the
problems that we were having
A run down of the
problems..
- Client could get an address
from DHCP, but couldn't go
- PPPoE login worked, but
speed was VERY slow and sporadic.
- ABO worked better with
0.09.10 firmware, but the slowness
was killing the
connection.
I tried changing radios, I
tried different firmware versions,
I spent a great deal of time
and money on various things trying
to fix this problem. Nothing
worked except a different radio.
Does anyone happen to know if
the WET11 will pass multiple MACs?
