- Node Notes:
NodePrinceton -- initial flash had a bug in the hand-curated modifications to the files overlay, which lead to the pre-auths for a tenant not working. When I corrected this manually, in some kind of weird coincidence, the DHCP server on the upstream Stephouse/WiLine router stopped offering leases and I lost remote access. Took a couple hours to figure out what was going on and to adopt a static configuration. Should be on the lookout for this kind of failure at other Stephouse networks (already have a static configuration at NodeKellogg as well)
NodeWeidler -- update to the WDR3600-16M device didn't "come back up". Investigating at about 4:15 am, discovered the flash had gone fine, but the cable modem was not handing out DHCP lease (maybe a macaddr change??), power cycled the cable modem and it started working again. Possibly freaked out the residents upstairs. Left before the police arrived.
-- RussellSenior NodeStreetRoots -- had a problem flashing remotely, needed an onsite visit and retry, recovered.
NodeAnholt -- we don't manage it, but it moved and gear got improved, per wiki edit.
- Stephouse/wiline machine is offline, working to recover.

NodeWeidler - WDR3600-16M (mod), cable modem (surfboard) rebooted (4:10am). Mystery ethernet cable is now gone, office AP1 reconnected. AP4 on North side of the building is not connecting at the right speed (cable issue). Also issue with second radio - OpenWRT didn't accept patch for modified HW.
NodeStreetRoots - ERX, came back up 30 minutes later, Russell tried flashing onsite, reboot worked, but not link to MR24. 3rd reboot fixed link. Still issue with ethernet link to front AP.
