 +Nothing'​s changed. I connected to cd:e4, and could ping the 3 south routers, but high packet loss. I SSHed into schefflers to reboot it, and 
 +packet loss went down (though ping times were still highly variable).
 +
 +Connecting to 4d:a5 (downstairs-north),​ I can ping the router, but nothing else. I sshed in and rebooted it; no change.
 +
 +I got a ladder and plugged my laptop into the ethernet coming from the gateway router. I could ping it fine. 
 +I powercycled the downstairs-north router, and everything came back up.
 +Argh! I don't know why it's working now. Was it a loose cable? Why did it start working when I physically unplugged and plugged, but didn't work when I rebooted from the commandline?​
 +
 +I dunno, but it's working now.

 +The problem is that everything'​s showing as down besides the gateway router.
 +The gateway router is up and looks fine. It's got an Ethernet link to the downstairs-north router.
 +I can connect by wifi to the downstairs-north router, and SSH in. I couldn'​t ping anything else from it.
 +I rebooted it. No change.
 +
 +I can connect to the wifi on the 0:​23:​69:​b3:​cd:​e4 router.
 +I can ping mustachios, schefflers and downstairs-south,​ but the ping times are very long: 1-3 seconds.
 +I can't SSH into the mustachios router: the connection is rejected or times out.
 +I can ssh into the schefflers router. When I ping the mustachios router from there, the pingtimes are good.
 +
 +I rebooted the Schefflers router and pingtimes suddenly got better. I guess that's what I was connected to. 
 +(Is the wifi on the mustachios router down?)
 +
 +When I ssh into schefflers, and ssh into mustachios from there, I can get in. 
 +I guess the mustachios router is configured to not allow ssh from wifi.
 +
 +Regardless: there'​s an obvious connectivity issue between schefflers and downstairs-north.
 +AND between downstairs-north and gateway.

 Nesrin emailed a few days ago to say that the south part of the network was down. I checked remotely, and it seemed like the 86 router was offline. I finally had time today to go by. The router had been unplugged. It also suffered some trauma: one of the antennas is missing, connector and all. I plugged it back in and everything came back up. I got a stepladder by knocking on the door of the security office. The nice fellow there didn't know where to find one; I suggested the boiler room. There was, indeed, one there. Nesrin emailed a few days ago to say that the south part of the network was down. I checked remotely, and it seemed like the 86 router was offline.
