+Two nights ago, open-mesh reported that the gateway router went down. I went by today, and couldn't connect to either the wirelesstoronto or wt-yds networks. I went in, and our equipment was unplugged. I asked, and apparently some people had been in to install security cameras. I plugged it back in and it came back up.
+====== April 30, 2012 ======
+I got an open-mesh email notification on Apr 8 that the network went down. I dropped by a couple of times between then and now to ssh into and reboot the gateway router, but it didn't fix anything. (The problem was with the NS2.) Today I got an email from Laura at YDS, and she confirmed that she could let me into the TO Tix booth. I installed a timer which will reboot everything (NS2, Linksys router and DSL modem) every morning at 3:30ish. Once I installed it and powered everything back on, the network came up quickly.
+====== February 23, 2012 ======
+I went back, and the situation was the same. I went in, powercycled the NS2, and it came back up within a minute or so. As of right now the dashboard isn't yet reporting that it's back up, but I was able to connect to wirelesstoronto easily.

+Cloudtrax (the open-mesh dashboard) reported that all mesh nodes at YDS went down on Friday. I went this morning to check. Normally this is caused by the Linksys router (which runs PPPoE) going down. But today I was able to connect to the Linksys router and get online. The ticket office was closed, so I couldn't get in to reboot the NS2. I'll try to go by later to try that.
+====== August 6, 2011 ======
+I rebooted the Linksys router, and no luck. I plugged my laptop into the modem and it couldn't find a PPPoE server. I rebooted the modem, and it started working. I intended to bring a lamp timer that would auto powercycle the whole rig every night, but couldn't find one. The modem problem is, as far as I can tell, a new one, so maybe it was a fluke.
+I waited a few minutes and still couldn't connect to the wirelesstoronto network. I rebooted the NS2 and it came up pretty quick.
+====== July 13, 2011 ======
+It's down again; for four days according to the open-mesh dashboard. I went by this morning and tried the same thing I did last time. The difference was that rebooting it didn't bring the Internet connection back up. The next thing I would've tried is powercycling the modem (or maybe before that, plugging my laptop into it to see if it can get on, to try to isolate the problem to either the modem or the router). But the TO Tix booth is only open after noon.
+Once it's back online, maybe it'd be a good idea to set a cronjob to reboot it every night. Who knows; it might help.

 Late last week I got an email from the YDS folks saying that the wifi was down, and that "someone" had tried rebooting the modem, but it was still down. I was out of town, so I went by on Tuesday afternoon. I didn't even need to go inside...
