Took about half a tank of gas and climbing 5 grain legs, one twice.... Or was it three times? What finally got me thinking it was that one radio is I was using the Ubiquiti Discovery tool and kept hitting it over and over in certain sections to see what was talking. Isolated AP's, looked at Discovery. Disabled Watchdog though to keep from reboots after isolating........ Noticed one AP was acting a bit more "weird" than the others once I put it back online so I zeroed in on that one AP. Tried to hit every IP on that leg and one in particular would sometimes respond, sometimes not. Went and looked at it, all the lights were lit up and would never go out or blink. That was the bad one.
The bonus was, since I had to visit so much of the network, I tweaked and re-aimed antennas while there. Everything is running better than before so it's all good. Except for my crankiness today. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 11:13 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT Bullet Takes Down Entire Network.......

I'd be curious how you figured out it was THAT unit causing the grief. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Robert West Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 10:06 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT Bullet Takes Down Entire Network....... Sigh.... Yep. And it went everywhere. Must have got in through the inside of the N connector, that tape was wound pretty tight and I didn't see any water inside the tape. Took the Bullet apart, wasn't much water but the board was "moist" like condensation. Dried it all out, works fine now. Smeared some RTV sealant on it to make me feel good but man, that was not much fun to ferret out.

Sigh.... So much time spent learning how to deploy cheap Ubnt stuff. Not as bad as MikrotikN but geez. So the antenna full of water caused the bullet to go nuts and caused a packet storm, is that right? On 3/27/10, Robert West <robert.w...@just-micro.com> wrote: > HA!
