I installed a wireless ap and client for a client.
They have 3 installed static ips:
1 on each radio and 1 on their modem.
We've had several problems that have run us in circles for the past few weeks but what thought were wireless issues seem to stem from the static ip's.
The will contact me saying they have just lost connection. The gateway, both radios and the user router are all online and pingable but, no internet traffic can pass. Between 5 and 25 min will pass and they can get back online. While testing we discovered what seems to be a problem with the static ips.
Ive contacted the service provider and they swear up and down to me there is nothing at all wrong but, if I allow DCHP from the modem out, everything seems to work for. Going on two weeks and not a problem. I put statics back in - between 1 and 3 days the connection is down.
Im not sure where to go about even trying to trouble shoot this further but I was curious if anyone else has ever had a problem with statics? I would think they would be easier to use since they are direct.
