Read that thread and it looks like the problem was using a cable with a strain relief prevented the seal from working. I always make up my own cables so that should not be a problem. Wrapping both the RF and Ethernet ends with an amalgamating tape would be good insurance too.
Proper cabling is critical. The 3220 that died was wired with standard CAT5. The jacket wore through as it entered the mast and water wicked up into the connector. When water bridges between the power pin and a logic pin something bad is sure to happen. I have been using gel filled direct burial cable ever since that failure.
A router with built in POE would make a really neat installation but I doubt one exist. The router manufacturers build for the cable/DSL mass market and our requirements are miniscule in comparison. |
Gashmore. How much did you pay for your Bullet 2HP. I'm being charged $75 which I figure is pretty good. Still I want to check as it's normal for resellers to shaft people here in Dubai and double the European or US price, regardless of only having to pay 5% sales tax and there being no employee tax.
