I've noticed that some but not all my tunnel connections will go dead every so often, but will come back up a few hours later. I off loaded my "advertised services" web pages out of my nodes, and onto separate OpenWRT routers, as people recommended. My ISP is Optimum cable. I suppose some of it might be the tunnel server owners doing maintenance, taking it off-line to fix or upgrade their stuff. But it seems to happen a little too often for that... Maybe twice a week.

of the tunnels to see what they are doing. It is however not uncommon for those who utilize tunnels to change around frequently as they are usually in some of the initial stages of learning while they try and get a true RF link in place.
I have a client node that drops off the status page but shows active in the tunnel, this also has happened with another server from the same client. All are Ubiquiti nodes. We have refreshed the firmware with the 3.17.1.0RC1 on all 3.
Ref: submitted defect: [LINK REMOVED]
Is this also the case for you?:
1) The scenario seems to occur when there are no RF links to the mesh node with the tunnel(s).
2) degraded performance--takes 30sec or longer to show node status on the mesh node with the tunnels after a a day or so after boot.
If 'yes', then it is possible the root cause of your issue is the same as this defect. We are currently building a debug version of the firmware to squish this bug.

Thank you,

Yes, that sounds like it. No RF links, and degraded performance, especially when doing a mesh status. And node status taking a long time too. To clear it, I have to pull the power supply's power plug (most convenient method for my setup to hard power cycle it). I have two tunnel clients active on it. Don't know if that makes the problem worse or not...
There is no need to reboot the node.
The link above does not connect to ticket 218 [LINK REMOVED] but if what I can fined for 218 it appears to be an AirRouter issue however in this case it's a NanoStation M2 at a school in Middletown, Rhode Island N1ASA mounted on the roof with no RF connections as yet. All the setup information looks good, SSID and so on and I realize that it is the same software and may be, in part the same issue but I just wanted to clarify that. If you need any other information please let me know.

if so, who?
So my above observation is probably not valid... Having just one tunnel client connection seems to work fine, but having two seems to lead to OLSR restarts?
Just checked, the tunnel to you is working now. I'll see if, with 2 tunnel client connections running, if I get any OLSR restarts on my Bullet in the next week or so...
There's a hospital about a mile away from here, and hospitals are given top priority for reliable service, and the local substation is about 2 miles away in roughly the other direction. So my power may be fed off that hospital link.. We didn't lose power during that massive blackout in 2003 (though the line voltage did oscillate gradually up to around 135V and down to around 90V every few minutes every five or so minutes).
Pubic Service Electric and Gas is usually very reliable at my QTH. Turns out the guy who was in charge of distribution for PSEG in Bergen County lived just a few doors from me.
Way back in 1965 we did not lose power in that big Northeast blackout. Though most NYC TV stations were dead.
