As long are we are talking Microtik, this is what I'm thinking of getting for playing around with:<br><br><a href="http://www.wlanparts.com/product/ZZ-RB411-ROO/">http://www.wlanparts.com/product/ZZ-RB411-ROO/</a><br><br>
Its a combo deal for 115$ that includes:<br><br>15dbi 2.4GHz Rootenna<br>
Mikrotik RB411<br>
POE Power Supply and Injector<br>
RF Cable<br>
3M Adhisive PCB Standoffs<br>
R52 Mini-PCI Card<br>
RJ-45 Waterproof Pass-Through<br><br>And all fits in the single waterproof antenna enclosure. Pretty cool if you ask me.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 1:02 AM, Chuck Cole <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cncole@earthlink.net">cncole@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I have had other things in the house begin dying and cause transient problems. A place I rented had aluminum main wiring, and those<br>
power contacts had corroded and needed serious re-tightening to stop some flash and flicker issues. New-fangled "crinp-on" wall<br>
outlets and such (ie, strip a solid wire end, poke it in the back of the receptacle, and no more) have wimpy contacts which can get<br>
"arcy" with age, exercise, and high demand currents (due to copper oxide, etc). Same for some breakers, wall switches, and GFI<br>
units. The old screw-it-down type are MUCH more reliable.<br>
<br>
Just some thoughts: it might not be the WRT54G itself that is the real culprit.<br>
