Network is stable.

••>> One of the rainy day issues we have is water intrusion in the cable connecting the outdoor radio and the POE.  The sheath around the cable becomes perforated somewhere from a errant staple or UV deterioration. Water  gets into the cable and is siphoned like a straw down into the bottom of the cable injecting moisture into the POE device. The POE, which provides power for the radio, shorts out and service is lost. The shorting repair requires a visit, cable repair and a new POE.

If water is noticed, the sheath can be removed near the POE entry point and the POE placed above the or up hill of the wire to avoid damage and loss of service.  Call us (360)376-4124 if you need assistance.

••>> Icy steps at my home today. Be careful out there.

••>>  I hear there is a big storm headed our way. If your power goes out, you should unplug the router and radio if possible. Save the equipment from the spikes as power comes back on.  After it is on and stable, plug things in.

••>> If your internet goes out and power is on, it may be due to power issue up stream from you. DO NOT Factory Reset your equipment. Things won’t work when power comes back on. Please call us (360-376-4124) or check this site for information.

••>> Stay warm, Stay safe!
