Look into Morningstar, models depend on your power requirements. If you buy the models with the RJ11 ports, you can get a $150 ethernet adapter so you can get stats off them remotely. On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 12:49 PM, Gino A. Villarini wrote: > Any pointers? > > > > *Gino A.

Do you have enough tower metal and a welder that you can weld together a thick generator "cage" and bolt that to the outside of your tower cabinets/sheds with one-way screws? Or (once transport works enough to get solar panels) do the same to make solar panel cages? On Thu, Sep 28, 2017 at 8:39

They're a brand new product and work very nicely (as long as there's no 900mhz noise).. I doubt you could find many at less than 80% of new cost. On Thu, Sep 28, 2017 at 9:52 AM, Kurt Fankhauser wrote: > Anyone got some used 900mhz 450i Ap's they are looking to get rid

[AFMUG] PMP450 5ghz AP possible case water intrusion

I'm investigating a PMP450 5ghz AP (old unit - the original ones that came with the FSK port) that failed on the tower. RJ45 and especially RJ12 ports have white dots on the pins. Looking in the case, there seems to be evidence of water intrusion coming from the little temperature/humidity

If it's ping-watching another router as I understand it, first step is to try removing that to see if it fixes it. Some Mikrotiks of RB450/RB493 models had bad capacitors (Su'scon brown/green) and the routers would start crashing/freezing up after a few years. I've taken them out of service,
