LMG discovered this about 10 years ago or whenever their first sync product came out. The fix was the balanced sync over power wiring schema.

Grab shielded cabling and do it again, I bet you have water in the line. Double check your connectors at the bottom for corrosion or water.

We've run into a problem where we can't run 100baseT reliably on a couple APs. CRC errors will go away if we force the switch port to 10baseT. Interestingly enough, packet loss amplifies when it rains. Any help would be appreciated. -- Sent via mobile
