Wireless access point on firewall not showing up on tm.lds.org

[Aczlan]

When I go to "access points" on tm.lds.org for our Stake Center, I see the two 1041 APs, but I dont see the firewall (a 881W) in the list of APs. If I pull up one of the other buildings, I see the firewall and the APs.
Has anyone seen this?
I see an option to "refresh configuration" on the firewall, will this just sync the config, or will it change the assigned addresses for the FHC and FM networks as well?

I've found the WAP that's part of the firewall is flaky. Note that newer firewalls ship without a WAP. I think the church figured out that the best location for the WAP wasn't the best for the firewall and vice versa.

Will place a call with the GSD sometime this week and see what they have to say. That is my building and I was hearing multiple complaints today about the lack of wireless at that end of the building (RS/Primary/FHC are all down there)

I think that part of GSD will be active in a few hours. (I think it's from Australia which is now "Monday".)

I have had the same experience as russellhltn. The WiFi in the 881W just goes away from time to time. The Global Service Center has a script they can run that will reset it.

When it gets to the point that the GSC can no longer reset the internal WiFi, they will ask you to contact the FM Group to have them install an additional WAP.

I have had the 881W wireless go out as well. So like lajackson says, they run a script and usually fixes it. Now if a new router is purchased then they will not come with the wireless access module. So in a couple of my buildings, I will need to add a 1041n.

I guess this hasn't been an issue in my stake, because the guy who installed all the 1041n WAPs always installed one of them within 25 feet of the 881Ws throughout the stake. I always thought that was a waste of money.

drepouille, I agree, I think that is a waste of money until the time the 881W goes out or you have to replace the 881.

the guy who installed all the 1041n WAPs always installed one of them within 25 feet of the 881Ws throughout the stake.

I've got one building where they put on within 4 feet of each other. Opposite sides of a wall, but still very close.
