OK, I’ll go with you on this…..but
WHY did this happen?
Just to be the devil’s advocate, are
you implying by your response that some electrical energy traveled down the
antenna coax, into the radio and caused it to somehow shut off, yet did not
damage the radio permanently. Hmmmmm…..I’d like some more clarity.

[smartBridges] Why did the power go out on the APPO last night?
We have an APPO in Access Point mode
on the roof of a house high on a hill here in New Mexico. Last night there was
a nice electrical storm overhead. The APPO went down. Today I went up on the
roof and found all lights off on the unit. Other ac powered items of ours on
this roof were on. I turned off the battery backup which killed power to
everything, then I turned it back on. The APPO came on! Clients could then
associate and surf.
So, the question is, “What
caused the APPO to turn off? If there was a power loss why did the APPO not
come back on when power was restored?”
Other facts:
· The APPO is
directly grounded to the house ground using #8 copper wire.
· The APPO is
two weeks old….it has run fine for the last two weeks.
· Using a
static IP
· There are
two radios at this location. The other radio is an APP Indoor working in Client
Bridge mode as a backhaul. It stayed up.
· All
equipment including the APPO is inside a weatherproof box on the roof.
Thanks for thinking about this.
