Hi guys,
this i my first post on this forum so please give me some hints before grouse.. 
I have a problem with my network setup and I can’t figure out where I have done an error.
Please take a look at the network diagram I’ve uploaded too!
Now the problem:
- we are using 4x RB951-2n as accesspoints connected as a meshed wireless network.
- “AP_GATEWAY” is the main accesspoint acting as hotspot (connected to a radius server).
- “AP1, AP2 and AP3” are just used as accesspoints (no hotspot or anything else active and running on these)
- all 4 accesspoints are connected to each other by the same wireless radio module as also clients are using (since RB951-2n is a single radio 2.4GHz accesspoint) - We know this is not ideal, but for internet surfing / internal VOIP phoning this should be enough!
- there are not more then 10 devices connected to this system (so no heavy load situation..)
- all wireless interfaces are configured as “ap bridge” with “static mesh” and “20/40MHz HT above”; they have the same SSID; “default authenticate” and “default forward” is activated too.
- on top of the meshed WDS we have configured a bridge, called “AP-Bridge” with RSTP running
- the main accesspoint (“AP_GATEWAY”) has the priority “1” in RSTP settings, so the tree is build up from there; secondary accesspoints “AP1, AP2 and AP3” have RSTP activated with default entries.
- it’s very important to share the same SSID for roaming purposes (mobile clients are moving back and forth while using VOIP connections)
- all this setup is up and running, but there are strange problems as follows:
- “AP_GATEWAY” makes a reset every day; not the same time at all, just sporadically, whenever it wants to..
- “AP1, AP2 and AP3” are resetting every 1-2 days;
1. question: Why are the accesspoints resetting every day? This is a big(!!) problem, since sometimes this happens during working hours and all the clients are being kicked out of the network for a minute till the routerboard is restarted..
2. question: all the accesspoints have their IP address (192.168.1.x/24) on the “AP-Bridge” interface; but when I try to ping from one device to another the ping sometimes runs into timeout..
Please advice me what configuration data I should post you to help you understand better!
Thank you very much for any help!
Sorry for my bad English..
