I second the wireless video camera problem. They spew constantly no matter what they are watching because they constantly transmit. We had an Ag customer whose connection went down. When we went to the site (because we couldn't communicate with the CPE), we saw that they were having a small expo of their products & ag systems. One of these systems was wireless video surveillance for livestock. We asked them to turn the system off and the wireless Inet link came back up. Then we had them turn it back on and change the channel. Life was good then.
