Details

Located in the West Hills this apartment building now features 5 Senao 3054 CB3's running WDS on channel 6. There are still minor issues coming in from residence concerning the 4th floor AP not passing traffic. I've asked the node owner to adjust the location slightly. Robert Petersen - 20050201

Notes

• 2007-10-10: Node visited by DonPark RussellSenior and TomHiggins .. notes and pictures to follow

• 2007-08-01: Resident of the towers reports that the AP has been non-responsive for several months now. She is requesting that someone take a look at it. Resident can be contacted at deco94123-email@yahoo.com (her name is Debbie). --GregMoore

• 2006-06-20: complains of slow performance. I went out to visit the site and spoke with Victoria. the APs are on channel six along with a few other APs. the cement walls seem to be blocking any outside APs so interference is limited to apartment-dweller gear. moving to channel 1 or 11 may help. Also two of the APs are dripping with an ooze that looks like glue, although still functional. --DonPark

• 2006-01-30 Performed ongoing support of the node including tuning of the network to optimize connections. The node is running nearly perfectly through 95% of the building now. 1/30/06 ToddMurray

• 2006-01-03: Upgraded to all the latest goodies, installed and configured OLSR. Could use a reboot to take advantage of the updated kernel. (- KeeganQuinn)

System has been rebooted and is running fine. 1/30/06 ToddMurray

I am providing client and network support to this node on a hourly basis. If any other nodes need assistance and can not wait for personaltelco to arrange a time, your welcome to contact me. 1/30/06 ToddMurray
