Re: [89attendees] When does the IETF network officially come up?

["Dave Oran (oran)" <[e-mail]>]

Thanks,

I called it in and got vectored to a Tech support person at BT, who had to ask which city I was in :-).
Managed to get her to abort the normal support script and explained I knew what I was doing.
She obviously couldn't help with the wired Ethernet, and said the only thing she could try was to reboot the AP, which she promised to do. If the problem is coverage, that's not going to help...

I'm highly suspicious it's just bad RF coverage, since I just decided to sit on the bed at the other side of the room and it's staying up now.

Unfortunately I can't do real work in this mode, so, if Ings don't improve I'll ask to change rooms.

Ray,
As we've discussed, that's an artifact of the Hilton gateway/accounting system. If you use the ietf-hotel or the wired connection, you connect (using the hotel's infrastructure) to the IETF network, with native IPv4 and IPv6 and no rate-limits or device limitations.

That all said, to echo Chris and Colin's comments, if you're having wifi signal strength issues or link issues on your wired connection, please call the normal hotel support number, as we don't have access to their switches or APs. However, if you're having any IPv4 or IPv6 related issues (anything above the wire) please let the NOC know at [e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]>, or catch us in the Terminal Room in Hilton Meeting Rooms 13-17.

I was also advised that there was a 3 device limitation to each room.

It's more then likely the WAP you are associated to. As is standard SOP, the hotel SSID's and the itef guest room SSID are being beaconed from the same devices. It's only in the meeting rooms and some public areas where we deploy our own gear.

Since your wire is dead and your Wi-Fi is wonky, you'll want to call the front desk to get in touch with the guest room network help desk. They are the ones who can assist with physical layer issues in the rooms.

It's Saturday AM and I'm in my room on the tenth floor of the Hilton Metropole.

- the wired Ethernet in the room is totally dead (no signal)
- wifi connections to IETF-hotel stay are not usable - either joining the network fails, or the connection drops within 20-30 seconds.
- honors said is non-functional too - I can't get redirected to the portal login with any reliability.

Is this just me? Symptoms are identical for WiFi on here devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone)
