We use Visp billing and one of their features is hotspot authentication. Kind of a halfway house to pppoe with less work. Eventually we'll do the whole thing but with thousands of customers that takes time.  Without hotspot (where the billing system authenticates like radius) auto-suspends don't happen and we get 50-100 payment suspends a day that we have to support manually so we're very motivated to get the whole network under radius MAC authentication and eventually full billing control from PPPoe.

What do you mean it was turned into a hotspot??

    Unbeknownst to us up front our sysadmin has been turning on
    hotspot for our towers and not telling us so when a radio was
    swapped out and the installer didn't update it in billing it
    wouldn't allow traffic to pass. Once I asked him and he said "oh I
    turned that AP into a hotspot last week" we checked the MAC and
    sure enough, wrong.

    Embarrassing I didn't think of that before posting this, I blame
    the heat... You're gear is working great as always.

    Thanks,

    Hi Forbes,

    Are you seeing this on AC APs only?

    What TDD Framing option are you using on the AC APs?

    Please try to grab the Support Info file from one of these CPEs
    (and AP) and send to me offlist ([email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]>)

    The 6.1.8 beta branch has some stability improvements that could
    help here, but that wouldn't explain AC stations seeing the same
    symptoms.

        So trying to take the 100+ heat into consideration we are
        having a lot
        of issues with customers associated to the tower but they
        won't ping and
        I can't get in to their radios.  They can get into AirOS and
        even select
        and change AP's but still they come up again showing their
        correct IP on
        the AP yet again no ping, no access, no Internet for them. 
        Some or AC
        radios, some older, doesn't seem to discriminate.  Floor is
        about -90
        and the last one was -74, not bad enough to be lost in the noise.

        Typical power cycle, etc. offers no solution. This has
        happened 5 times
        (most using 6.16) in the past few days, a disturbing trend
        that we will
        now have to do a truck roll on.

        Any ideas?
