Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly
• Node notes:

  • NodeWhet -- still down

  • NodeBillyRays -- power had come unplugged, Jason stopped by to fix

  • NodeBrunner -- updated APU gateway firmware (again)

  • NodeKlickitat -- updated APU gateway firmware

  • NodeTibbetts -- updated APU gateway firmware

  • NodePatch -- updated APU gateway firmware, Russell messed up the first time, had to drive down to recover, back in business after a 3 hour outage.

  • NodeKailash -- updated APU gateway firmware

  • NodeAlhambra -- updated APU gateway firmware, due to firmware configuration complexity, Russell drove over an SD card to provide a way of falling back, so far so good.

  • NodeSherrett -- updated ERX gateway firmware with now-merged fixes

  • NodeMississippi -- updated ERX gateway firmware with now-merged fixes

  • NodeLuckyLab -- updated ERX gateway firmware with now-merged fixes

  • NodeBuffaloGap -- updated ERX gateway firmware with now-merged fixes

  • NodeNick -- new Buffalo WZR600DHP node for Matt's friend flashed

  • NodeFirstUnitarian -- bell tower install scheduled for November 29, EAP225 Outdoor is flashed, and attached to fancy antenna, installed by JasonBergstrom and CalebPhillips, inside bell tower WDR3600 replaced on December 2. Seeing 100Mbps on link to roof, tried different ports, tried different patch cable, seems odd. Renumbered ap2 and ap3 to be in order by distance from gateway, effectively reversing their numbering.

  • NodeMoby -- down for the winter, as of 2024-11-28 01:27.

  • NodeGooseHollow -- noticed node wasn't phoning home as of about 1pm on Monday, December 2, but it was reachable over VPN tunnel, turned out personaltelco.net DNS was failing using cable company's DNS servers, added a battery of backups to avoid carrier censorship.

  • NodeEdie -- Russell working on a gateway device

• All gateways have now been updated.

Notes

• Node notes:

  • NodeWhet - still down

  • NodeBillyRays - wall wart was mysteriously tipping out of the outlet, tipped back up

  • NodeBrunner, NodeKlickitat, NodeTibbetts, NodePatch, NodeKailash, NodeAlhambra APU nodes updated, issues resolved

  • NodeSherrett, NodeMississippi, NodeLuckyLab, NodeBuffaloGap ERX nodes updated, multiple issues resolved

  • NodeNick - Matt has hardware for new node, not deployed yet

  • NodeFirstUnitarian - outing, replaced belltower/roof AP and ethernet between inside to belltower AP

    • issue with port connection to roof, ended up moving cable. But, it was a configuration issue that had disabled the port
    • on Monday Russell replaced WDR3600

  • NodeMoby - down for the Winter

  • NodeGooseHollow - DNS issue, we needed to supplant the Comcast provided DNS

    • seems as though Comcast is "helpfully" intercepting DNS queries at ie NodeBeulahLand
