I've rebooted the Skye RB this morning (Before reading about your issue though). Let me know if that fixes the issue..

There are currently 3 clients connected to Skye at the moment, all of which are functioning fine by the looks of thing.


Back Up

Great! That seems to have brought the connection back up. Still as below I really do need to retire the Mintar.....

Minitar - Receiver Sensitivity 802.11b -80 dBm = 5Mbps

Isn't it about time to replace that Minitar Ross, there are so many other units around that can do the same at -90 dBm


No Packets Pass

My Minitar reports as associated however no packets pass - Skye admin was kind enough to reboot the AP which cleared the problem before however this time around the issue has not resloved. I presume that some other issue exists be it simply a noisy environment (4 other APs on close by channels) or an issue with my equipment. I'll climb on the roof soon to have a look.
