HA! Had lots and lots of rain the other night. At around 2am I get an alarm, everything is losing connection. Everything. EVERYTHING! Started on it at 7am, was everyplace trying to isolate sections, was driving me nuts. Finally, found one Bullet 5M that had a 5GHz stick antenna on it (Was for tech access on AP down on the ground, was a weird fix) and the thing had just enough water in it to cause it blast the network. Water? Well, I'm a freak for taping a waterproofing everything but on this, installer boy (That's his official name) taped it alright but since it was a stick antenna on it, taped the N connector on the bullet and then all the way up to the clamp on the antenna! Hmmmmmm.. That seems to cover the DRAIN HOLES on the bottom of the antenna. (We'll have a talk. Another one.) Antenna, of course, full of water. Must have filled up then had enough pressure to seep through the tape somehow into the Bullet. Nice. So here it is, this little nothing off in the corner doing it's dirty work all over the network.
It hates me. Had to share. Robert West Just Micro Digital Services Inc. 740-335-7020 Logo5
