[sudo-discuss] wifi is borked

[danarauz at gmail.com]

The one at Sudoroom, and the one at the Second Floor AP are not routers,
they are Access Points, more like extenders.
This means that they don't run any DHCP or DNS resolution themselves. Like
the Mesh or PON's do.

I am at sudo right now, and as I just mentioned to Morgan (yes we are both
here this early), we still have the other AP (the one at the second floor)
plugged into the network. So how come the network is not having issues when
that AP also ends here at the same switch?

The ONLY thing that comes to mind at this moment is that the new setup may
be at fault is that the Ruckus Wireless Controller may see the Sudomesh,and
PeoplesOPen.net, as malicious rogue clients/APs/Routers (or something
alike) and tries to block them. But I will look into that right now after
this email.

Anyhow, I also added that would be good to know the source of the issue as
soon is possible, because if the new setup its an issue, then I should stop
until that issue is resolved. And if it is not the source of the problem,
so I can continue without the feeling that I may be annoying folks.


Thanks!
