RE: [smartBridges] simplespeed

[Kevin Summers]

I've seen people have problems with mail and not being able to get to "certain" web sites. Like most, I guessed that it was the MTU setting being to high, but in a recent case it wasn't.   Their building is surrounded on three sides by high tension power lines about 80-90 feet above. A few weeks ago a storm blew through and while two of the people were standing outside near the front door lightning struck one of the power lines just in front of them. Sparks flew and some landed on them. I told her they were very very lucky.   Anyway, the power obviously went out, and the radio which was on the roof about 150-180 feet away was undamaged. It seems that the little Linksys router may have taken a power spike and over the last few weeks one of it's components slowly died.   I replaced the router and everything is blazing along just fine. No damage to the radio at all.   It's worth noting that this install is NOT GROUNDED in ANY WAY. It's a free standing non-penetrating mount on the roof and the only link back into the building is the Cat-5. When she told me how close the strike was, I thought for sure that the radio was toast. A quick power cycle and I plugged it into my laptop and it was fine.   Go figure.
