Q: What is StarOS?
A: Put simply, it's a software product made by Valemount Networks which does a very good job of running wireless backbone and customer distribution points using Atheros radios. There is also a "server edition" which can act as a standard wired router and run some basic services. It runs primarily on hardware products obtained via Valemount Networks though it can be run on x86 PCs and a couple of other embedded systems that aren't obtained directly from Valemount Networks.
Q: How does the StarV3 DHCP client affect the default route?
A: The default route obtained from the DHCP server will always replace the default static route.
Q: The firewall rules and/or NAT aren't working.
A: Connection tracking is required to be enabled in order to use the firewall rules and/or NAT.
Q: What are the channel attributes in the channel list under StarV3?
A: See the following example/explanation:
36 : 5180 20 40 : 5200 20 dynamic 42 : 5210 40 turbo
Channel 42 is only usable for turbo, or a cloaked operation. Channel 40 is a dynamic turbo channel, and can be used for either standard connections, or (in the near future), dynamic turbo connections. Dynamic turbo allows the AP to switch between Turbo (ch: 42) and standard (ch: 40) on the fly based on throughput and signal levels between the clients. Channel 36 is a standard channel.
