I have a customer that I installed a Hotel Wifi network on their existing broadband connection ( a small local DSL company). I have a Linksys wired router that separates the Wifi from the Hotel's LAN.
I used a IWE-1100A as the WDS master, inside the building, wired to the Internet, and the 2 Mikrotik routers each set as AP bridge with WDS enabled/static. On the more distant MT, I set up the IWE-1100A as a WDS interface, but did not bridge it. I also turned STP on both MT AP's. One is using 2.9.12, the other is 2.9.8 (upgrade ran out on the CF card I used).
Now, the hotel complains their DSL connection drops off every few hours, and they have to reboot their DSL modem (a Netgear). It did the same thing when they had a Cisco PIX with DSL which was replaced when they initially had problems. The FIRST time they called their DSL provider, the girl on the phone said they had a bad tape drive lockup a RADIUS server. Every time after that, they were told nothing is wrong. They have had a very bad attitude at the provider all this time as well.
I have replaced switches, even went as far as disabling the farther AP(second hop), and it still locks up. The DSL company swears it is NOT their service, it is a network loop causing the lockups, which makes some sense in that rebooting the Netgear fixes it for a few hours. Nothing else stops working when the loop occurs, just the Internet, and it is fixed by rebooting the Netgear router.
