Notes
- Node notes:
NodeRerun - Russell made contact with Joe, willing to move node to other location. They have an IT person, discussing where to plug it in, maybe directly into Comcast modem.
NodeWhet - Ted will try to look into it over the break.
NodeKlickitat - A couple of the nodes drop off, but can still be pinged from a neighboring device.
- May be "hidden" due to packet loss? Maybe lack of use?
NodeGooseHollow - Maybe 45 minute-ish power outage? definitely reboot.
- WDR3600 - flash storage limitation (8MB flash by default)
- Russell has been resoldering 16MB chips, exercise flashprog, also replaces U-Boot and a software patch to enable second partition (not upstream due to policy)
- We don't have outstanding gateways with this issue, some APs do
- Removed a bunch of items for APs in wall of routers, Alpine utility apk pulled in (adding to default space consumption), package management (management) concern implied.
- Add WDR3600-16M to test bed, need to find mounting space.
