SNMP reset / reboot
Hi, I have a lrge number of WG102 Access Points. I find that they can "lock-up" after serveral weeks. Whilst I'm waiting for some new firmware to fix this problem, I would like to be able to easi...
Hi there,
I also bought 2 WP102 a short time ago for using them as a point 2 point bridge.
So far it works as expected, but I also have the problem, that the 2 APs won't answer to pings (nor can I get access to the web interface or can read snmp values) after a few days. Sometimes the come back to life sometimes not!
There is not much traffic over the wireless bridge. But if the devices start to "not answer" pings the wireless speed is horrible. After a simple reboot of the devices everything works fine for a few days. They both are on FW 4.0.16 (not upgraded).
I also look around in the web and found a lot of discussions about this problem.
So at first I'll try do do the "snmp write reboot" stuff.
One strange thing I just discovered... Because I have this problem now and have no physical access to the devices I tried something strange. I disabled and then enabled the switchport where one of the devices is connected to... and this WP102 is "pingable" again. But I can't acces the other side :-(
So any help welcome! Maybe a new Firmware (even Beta!)
