Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly
• Updating gateway firmware, so far:
  • Meraki MR24
  • Buffalo WZR600DHP
  • PC Engines Alix2

  • TP-Link WDR3600 (16MB)
  Left to do:
  • Ubiquiti ERX
  • D-Link DIR806L
  • PC Engines APU
• 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 machne is offline, working to recover.
