Sounds simply like a grounding issue to me. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, Mikrotik Certified Trainer Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training - Author of "Learn RouterOS"

Lightning took out my RB-750 today. This is the second one I lost to lightning. Are the RB-450's any better made or more resistant to lightning? I have protection, shielded ethernet cable and grounding but the gear is mounted up on a metal roof that is not grounded and when there's a nearby strike the roof is getting an induced charge and it's knocking out the gear. Besides losing an RB-750 I lost the ethernet port of a UBNT PS2 and it's power supply. Tomorrow the gear comes off the roof. It's going on a grounded pole. I have other gear on top of a grounded Quonset hut and there's no problems. Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
