I have a wireless link between two buildings setup with a pair of D-Link DWL-2100AP access points and directional antennas. It works ok except for the usual unexplained losses of signal which always seem to plague my wireless installations. I have to admit, I loathe wireless with a passion. It has never lived up to it’s potential and I even have problems with a small setup at home where the PC and access point are only 12 feet apart!
However, that is not my specific problem here. In March, I lost the link and traced the fault to a failed PSU on one of the 2100AP’s so I swapped it out with a spare and all was well. Last week, nine weeks later, another PSU failed. I’ve replaced it again but since it was the same access point as before I am going to swap it out. If there was a problem with the access point I wouldn’t have thought it would take nine weeks to burn a PSU out?
Anyone else had any problems with recurring failure of D-Link PSUs?
I’ve been very busy at work the last few months and most of it has been pretty boring mundane stuff. As such I’ve neither had the time or the subject matter to post to the blog. However, I’m catching up with the crap at work and looking forward to some more interesting things ahead. Hopefully that will lead to a little more dedication to “A Mind Lost”!
