All, I have a sub that has had Several failures. The last one is understandable, in that there was a direct lightning strike in their yard winthin 75' of CPE (NS5). Its Ethernet port was bad, yet the radio was fine?? The one before that, the power company worked on the power and said their oops may have caused problems. It did even though my equipment was plugged into a UPS. They now have a brand new quality surge protector for the equipment.
Anyway, the customer calls and says no internet, and that the POE box light is not on. Fine, I instruct customer to remove compatible power from the router we installed and plug into the injector. She does, and I see pings from the AP. I go on site to replace power supply later that day. I find No ethernet connectivity thru the injector to the NS5. I also find the workstation plugged into router has no ethernet connectivity to the router. I plug my laptop into router and verify that all link lites seem to work on all ports, yet the usb-ethernet adapter I installed 2 weeks ago is not seen by the workstation. yes I tried several usb ports. A couple weeks ago, I verified that our outdoor cable was good. Now as I look for answers, the only suspect is the ethernet cable. It has been in service 4-5 years, and I noticed a few staples had pulled out and left a 3 foot loop between the carport and house dangling. My theory is that this cable has an intermittent short that has fried the power supply, the ethernet port on the NS5, and the workstation ethernet port plugged into the router?? QUESTION: Have you guys seen stuff like this happen? Because this is a Bus. sub I will head out there shortly to 'finish up'. I will rip out and replace our cable, the NS5 , and probably the usb-ethernet port we put in. Sure would be nice to know I've hit the right things. your feedback is greatly appreciated!
