Take the cover off and look at the connectors on the board. They are hot glued on but the ones I had go bad, the glue became brittle and broke off. I found that the connector to the board was very loose. As in, too big to snap into the board. A manufacturing snafu I suspect with a nice amount of hot glue keeping it on. Mine started in the spring after being up for a winter. They would come and go, levels up and down. Eventually burned out the boards. Replaced the boards with the Light Station boards. Have to remove the power connector though.
The ones that didn't burn out and still seemed to have good throughput, I just replaced the N connectors. On the connectorized versions that is. I really WAS amazed to see the connectors just fall away with the glue removed. I still have 2 in the living room in pieces. Did an RMA on them but never sent them in. Always too much going on.

A year or so ago, a batch of PS2's had an issue with bad MMCX connectors to the internal board. Caused me some crazy low throughput issues.

Previously I had all Tranzeo. Now I put up a Powerstation2 for my main AP with a Tranzeo 17 dbi sector. I'm getting a max throughput of around 3 mbits. That's looking at the throughput graphs in the PS2. Once I'm reaching that throughput though, pings to certain clients go way up to over 2 seconds. I do my testing from linux, using ping <IP> -i .01 -s 1024 or even take the 1024 up to 2048. I can do this to 3 clients at 1024 packet size.. Once I start pushing it to a 4th client, pings get lost and replies come back 2 seconds later. Is this normal?? I'm looking into it because I have clients complaining they loose connection completely sometimes. When I ping to 3 clients, I can hardly ping any other clients. no response. I've pinged the AP during this whole time and it never flaps. Very solid at a few ms. The previous Tranzeo AP had no problems. Clients are mostly Tranzeo SL2s and their distances vary from 1/2 mile to about 3 miles Here's the station list with their signal strength: Station MAC Signal, dBm Noise, dBm Tx Rate Rx Rate Idle (sec) 00:15:6D:1A:0A:05 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -54 -96 48M 36M 0 00:60:B3:E9:24:25 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -69 -96 24M 18M 0 00:13:4F:10:09:0F <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -49 -96 48M 36M 0 00:15:6D:1A:0F:D7 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -74 -96 11M 18M 0 00:13:4F:00:C5:DB <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -78 -96 18M 5M 15 00:1C:F0:EA:57:06 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -75 -96 11M 11M 0 00:13:4F:00:C5:C2 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -72 -96 36M 18M 15 00:60:B3:45:37:60 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -75 -96 11M 12M 0 00:13:4F:00:97:96 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -52 -96 54M 36M 0 00:13:4F:00:8E:E5 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -64 -96 48M 11M 0 00:13:4F:00:A6:E6 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -65 -96 36M 24M 0 00:13:4F:00:C3:91 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -77 -96 5M 12M 15 00:13:4F:00:B7:FA <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -82 -96 36M 1M 15 00:60:B3:59:89:54 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -72 -96 36M 18M 0 00:13:4F:00:C5:C4 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -77 -96 18M 12M 0 00:13:4F:00:A7:00 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -76 -96 11M 12M 15 00:0B:6B:37:E5:2B <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -67 -96 24M 36M 15 00:13:4F:10:01:D5 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -54 -96 11M 36M 0 00:13:4F:00:8B:83 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -68 -96 36M 18M 0 00:13:4F:00:D8:08 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -81 -96 12M 1M 0 00:13:4F:10:02:3E <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -73 -96 48M 12M 30 00:60:B3:E9:22:A0 <http://172.20.0.3/stalist.cgi> -84 -96 1M 12M 0 Anyone have any idea what it could be?
