I wish I could plug an ethernet cable into some of the people I work with and "upload" all their knowledge. I work with a group of really sharp fools.

by default route, you mean:

ip address/mask gateway
0.0.0.0/0 69.***.***.***

ok, so basically it needs to know who is out there wanting to go through it, to the internet.

I'm assuming all clients connected to each AP are on the same subnet, so routing isn't an issue since the AP sees them all as direct connects.
Yes, all clients are on the same subnet.

Sounds like a brain-dead simple layout with huge security issues. I'm betting anyone on your wireless plan can check out other customers networks, since their all on the same subnet w/ private address scheme. Granted each customer should have some firewall in place, but I'm sure they don't and it's a hacks playground!
You're right (of course), it is a simpe layout with little to no firewalll rules applied. The software we are using does have the capabilities to lock things up pretty tight though.

(If you are interested.... http://www.star-os.com )

We are still in the hardware phases at the moment. Things change on a daily basis, so it is much easier to diagnose problems that arise, if the system is in it's 'default state' (for lack of better words). I don't want to blame a problem on hardware, if in fact I have simply locked myself out and don't even realize it.

Right now we have 9 beta testers (1 is the boss, 2 others are family members of his). Everyone else fully understands they are beta testers for the time being. We haven't billed one red cent for service. Once we get all the hardware in place, we'll go through and decide what works best for us, and our customers.

I sincerelly appreciate all the help guys, especially D. Maybe I would be better off letting you setup the security, and I'll stick to climbing towers.



Thanks Again!!!
