Agenda

NodeCedarHillsCrossing -- another DSL outage, after a couple weeks, have requested mall staff request replacement router, or at least frontally assault ISP technical support looking for satifaction.
NodeWygant -- want to install an MR24, have the go ahead from the landlord, need to replace the Alix with a Buffalo WZR600DHP again (as it was originally) and prep an MR24 and figure out if we can run a cable into the apartment. Tenants are complaining and anxious for action.
- LEDE Project -- Russell managed to get iproute2 updated to v4.10.0 (he's the volunteer maintainer of the package)
Russell will report on interesting visit to SandyNet board meeting and followup discussion.
- Russell installed another DIR860L at home of a PLUG friend, measured only 500Mbps upstream, pretty consistently, either 500 or 750Mbps downstream
