Someone at one point told me that they seen some versions of Safari that is doing a lot of heavy preloading and opens up tons of sessions. Are you limiting the amount of connections that can be done from the client? Have you checked the bw and packet utilization when he opens his browser? Might want to try to open the browser with all plugins and addons disabled.
Also change your queues to use type red instead of pfifo. Pfifo does not work very well on a saturated link/ap. RED is much better. /Eje Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: Steve Barnes <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:27:53 To: WISPA General List<[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] Macintosh traffic issues? I have a problem. Tranzeo CPE Running firmware 4.0.5 connected to MTIK AP. Client was having connection issue so I went out and tested with my laptop. I had no issue but just to make sure I replaced the radio. New radio worked exactly the same. Customer was not there his dad next door let me in. He called me back after this weekend and said that it was working just as bad. So I went through a bunch of steps and basically he has a MAC (uugghh) and if he turns it on and does nothing but email he has no issue. If he starts a ping to google or even the AP it pings just fine. But as soon as he pulls up safari or firefox it fails and it strats loosing 90% of the pings. He said the weird thing was that his girlfriends Windows PC worked fine at his house over the weekend. So I said well then it has to be your MAC. He said he had thought about that but he has used the MAC at Starbucks, 2 other hotspots and at his office for weeks and at those locations they work fine the whole time. He unplugs the network at the office and comes home and no joy. Anyone ever heard of this before. His signal is perfect -62 with a -100 Floor. When I was there I was getting the 1500kK X 512k that I have his queue set for. Steve Barnes RC-WiFi Wireless Internet Service Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
