Had 6 Cisco 1131s go this year but they were all old and due for replacement (7+ years old) and they all died after failing to come back up after power issues in buildings (power going up and down several times over a few hours, they powered by a mixture of poe switches and poe injectors).
Also lost one 1142 this year due to water damage. Previous years have been very good, approx. 1 AP every 3 years on an estate of 1200 APs. Regards, Jen.
