 +As with the SLM network, I updated the Cloudtrax checkin URL. I could only (remotely) access the gateway router, though -- the other three are down.

 +Network monitoring enabled through Cloudtrax: [[http://​www.cloudtrax.com/​overview2.php?​id=wt-harb]]

 +Finally went down to investigate. Above the southeast corner of the gallery there'​s a spot where all the important wiring happens. There are two Ethernet switches there: one for a Harbourfront network, and one for Wireless Toronto. The WT switch had all the Ethernet removed. I plugged everything in, and the two orphaned routers were immediately back online.

 +The router in the studio has weirdly long and eccentric ping times -- often indicative of wireless interference. I changed the channel from 6 to 11 and it *may* have helped things a little. This is something to investigate further. ​
 +
 +Also, there are a few routers on site with the ssid "​wtoronto."​ These appear to be routers installed by Harbourfront,​ but plugged into the Wireless Toronto network. (Not sure where; I didn't investigate.) No big deal, but worth noting. Presumably these are monitored by Harbourfront IT, which explains how they know so quickly whenever our network goes down. The only physical device I found was on the south patio (outside!).
 +
 +I've gotta go back in (remotely) and set up a monitoring cronjob on the routers.

 +====== September 15, 2011 ======
 +A user emailed the support address describing trouble connecting. It sounded like our coverage area has shrunk. I checked, and I can't ping routers .67 or .68. (Was this ever resolved after March 28?) I emailed Juan to find out when I can go by to investigate.

 I got an email from Harbourfront this morning saying that the network has been down since before 7. Weird, because wifidog reported it up. I checked the logs, and the wifidog checkins were consistent (every minute, exactly) and from the right IP address. I couldn'​t ping it via OpenVPN, though -- this is very weird. (OpenVPN is normally more resilient than the Wifidog gateway.) I got an email from Harbourfront this morning saying that the network has been down since before 7.
