Issues with Cisco Router not routing and taking forever
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 11:19 am
Lost internet, probably wireless, in a building I was just in!
Then the Stake Clerk power cycled the Cisco Router and nothing is working.
On the internet side of things it shows up in the bridge table and has its public IP assigned, so the internet is working, but the Cisco is just sitting there apparently.
Is there a number I can call at the church to have them diagnose their router?
The clerks are getting a bit upset.
Also, earlier this monring on this same system, we had people trying to connect to the LDSAccess wireless.
It would connect on their laptop, Macs at the time. Then take a few minutes before it would show actual wireless connectivity and let them out the internet.
Had the same thing happen with the Family History Linksys WRT54G router they use for that class. It would show linked, but would take a while before it allowed internet access to pass through. Only a minute before it worked almost immediately from a phone wireless connection connected to a different port on the switch/building.
So I'm pretty confused now what is going on.
I read somewhere a while back that the router might run out of leasable IP space?
Is that still true?
If it is, they need to shorten the DHCP lease to like an hour or two before it renews, and widen the DHCP pool as well. That would help with the transient type connections in these buildings...
But again, I don't appear to have access to the router to make any of these changes. Is there a number I can call??
