Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Bullet2HP

2009-12-18 Thread Robert West
I've had 2 of the Bullet5HP's have bad connectors, not the 2's.  Being the
geek type, took them apart and found that the fingers coming off the
connector had very little solder on them and none was only under the
connector and not on the sides or top.  Essentially only enough to tack it
on.  The first one that came loose I thought it was my fault for pushing it
too hard so I didn't do an RMA and just fixed it myself and when the second
happened, fixed that one too.  Easier than an RMA just for solder.
Personally I'd like to see a more robust LAN connector and have it attached
better in the front to avoid rocking.

I haven't come across that little issue yet, thanks for the heads up!  I
like the price and some of the shortcuts contribute to that but you're
right, some things need to be more rugged for where they are installed and
even HOW they are installed.  The mounting brackets are fantastic, I was
impressed by them but the connectors are the opposite.  I can accept the SMA
connectors but only if they're going to the attached rocket.  I still shake
my head at it though.  Must be my old way of thinking.

We found the same problem with the sna cables on the airmax sectors.
Pull just a little bit too hand and the cable pulls out of the
connecter. Why any manufacturer would think that cables that small are
suitable for outdoor use is beyond me.

Yeah, that would be a nicer cable.  Honestly I'm afraid of popping the
connector off the UBNT ones when I have to bend it so sharply.  It must have
been another tradeoff since the area between the rocket and the connector on
the antenna is so small, you probably couldn’t bend a much thicker cable in
such a tight loop.

Why would you want the connector on the bottom?  So it can fill up with
water?
Being on the top, the water will run over the connector and not fill it.
 Makes sense to me.
Of course, we still seal them up.

 Trango uses SMA connectors for their external antennas, but with
 LMR240, rather than whatever it is that UBNT uses.

 2009/12/18 Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com:
 I haven't come across that little issue yet, thanks for the heads up!  I
 like the price and some of the shortcuts contribute to that but you're
 right, some things need to be more rugged for where they are installed
and
 even HOW they are installed.  The mounting brackets are fantastic, I was
 impressed by them but the connectors are the opposite.  I can accept the
 SMA
 connectors but only if they're going to the attached rocket.  I still
 shake
 my head at it though.  Must be my old way of thinking.

 We found the same problem with the sna cables on the airmax sectors.
 Pull just a little bit too hand and the cable pulls out of the
 connecter. Why any manufacturer would think that cables that small are
 suitable for outdoor use is beyond me.

 I've had 2 of the Bullet5HP's have bad connectors, not the 2's.  Being
 the
 geek type, took them apart and found that the fingers coming off the
 connector had very little solder on them and none was only under the
 connector and not on the sides or top.  Essentially only enough to tack
 it
 on.  The first one that came loose I thought it was my fault for pushing
 it
 too hard so I didn't do an RMA and just fixed it myself and when the
 second
 happened, fixed that one too.  Easier than an RMA just for solder.
 Personally I'd like to see a more robust LAN connector and have it
 attached
 better in the front to avoid rocking.

 I'll double-check the connectors and let you know.

 Rick,

 I read something about guys complaining about high rates of failure
with
 the connectors on the latest batch 10/22/2009 or something.

  Anyone having issues with flaky Bullet2HP units? The last batch I got
 wont
  connect to my StarOS/WRAP's. Actually, I discovered they do connect
 but
 have
  80+% packet loss. I updated them to 3.5 firmware but no help.
Previous
  shipments have worked great. -RickG

Yes, we are seeing problems with Bullet2HPs as well. It seems Ubiquiti is
having quality problems mainly on the RF side. Frustrating and expensive.
