We started using these without knowing about the past issues. Unless we are running on DC at the site with a rackinjector we are using the power switch rack mount units. No failures and have been running them for 3 years now. Glad to know I should be worried now. One more thing to keep me up at night.

I have one of their newer PoE units, and it hasn't had any issues, so they have evidently ironed out some of the problems. Point taken though.

My experience was every time we needed to reboot something, the web GUI was locked up, and we had to do a truck roll AND reboot the web power switch which also rebooted everything plugged into it. Which made it worse than useless, we would have been better off just plugging everything directly into AC power and driving there to reboot devices. I guess my view is, with so many other choices, why buy one that gave us such trouble at one point? -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of SmarterBroadband Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2019 2:33 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Watchdog Device They have been great for us. Only one failure I can think of and they replaced it straight away. We have moved over to the Pros now and these are holding up well. I just wish they would do this model in a rack mount version....

We went through so many of the older versions that we gave up on them as a vendor. They were great at replacing them but you can only have so many failures to deal with...
