Hi All,
I apologize for using this forum as an end-user, but I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I live in Brazil, and it is impossible to get Internet (DSL/cable) in my neighborhood. The Internet to my apartment is provided using MikroTik hardware (wireless system, router-board). The guy who offers it has set up a wireless connection (some 50+ Mbit/sec) from our apartment-building to a location in a neighborhood where there is high-speed DSL available.
All works well, but the connection drops very often (at least 30 times a day), which means I (and the other users as well) have to do a web-logon to get access to the Internet again. For myself I have bypassed the need to log on every time by running a bash-script that detects a connection-drop and logs on automatically, but the rest of the users are on Windows, and I am having some difficulties doing something similar for them.
It obviously is the guys job to fix the problem, but he does not seem to be very knowledgeable.
What I can tell is that the number of disconnects varies according to the data-usage, and that the dropouts are very short because I can log on almost instantly after a drop-out occurs. I am not completely sure if the disconnects happen for all users at the same time, or it is different from user to user.
Thanks for any help or suggestion!
Regards,
Peter
