[Ham-Mac] AR-Cluster Drop Outs (Solved)

[Dick Kriss]

This is a follow up to my 5/21/06 posting to let everyone know the drop out
problem with my D-Link Router has been found and FIXED.

The D-Link factory default setting for Maximum Idle time is zero.  I feel
sure this was causing me to drop the connection with the AB5K-2 AR Cluster.
The fix was easy....just add a number and the drop outs stopped.  I am
testing with 500 minutes.

If you are using a D-Link DI-524 (or other brand) wireless router,  I
suggest you check your Maximum Idle Time setting.  The zero was causing me
to drop out of the AR Cluster.
