Re: [AFMUG] Physically hardened routers for tower installation

[Nicholas Eastman via Af]

We have a few 4xx series and some 1200s out there that do loose ports every
once and a while randomly (why we've been switching to 1100s). Most of the
1100s are after a storm, or at least that seems to be the timing, whether
or not that's the culprit is up to interpretation.

Do they always fail after storms, or are you just seeing ports randomly 
fail?  I used to have ports fail after storms with the 4xx series, but 
with 700's, 1100's, 2011's, and CRS, haven't seen any issues.  Unless 
the site took a direct or near hit, then all bets are off.

So, I pose it to the mailing list. What is everyone using in terms of 
tower routers? Does anyone know of a product (mikrotik based or other) 
that would possibly be a little more resilient within a close price 
range to the Tiks?

We have been using Mikrotiks (RB110AHx2) for tower sites that we have put
in place over the past couple years. With that being said, we have started
to notice more and more ports failing even with surge suppression in place.
I know that certain issues are unavoidable, but it has brought up the age
