About:

The network at hackrva started out as a just a WRT54GL named "robot king" and a fall back AP named "robot queen". They had to be rebooted almost weekly due to the constant traffic and numerous DHCP problems. These devices ran out of address space very quickly.

Thus a beefier network need to be created, Martese came along with a network solution that was a bit more reliable than before but still suffered from occasional down time due to complications. The networking guys decided to rely on the K.I.S.S. principle. The new setup has been a a breeze to maintain and run, it is here to stay.
