I'm trying to use wifi bridges to connect a
seismic datalogger high on a cliff to a computer
a half mile away in a valley. This has been
successfully done with a colleague's equipment using
Senao/Engenius NCB-3220 (indoor model). So just order
the same thing, right? Well, I tried... and
I got a device that uses 48Volts, not 12Volts
like the same thing my colleague uses. The
spec sheet lists the device at 12Volts, but it
came with an AC->48VDC adapter. This is
useless... it is infeasible to drag 4 12V batteries
up to the site.
I also order 2 outdoor bridges from Senao/Engenius,
(the EOC-3220+ and the EOC-8610). BOTH are 48
Volts, BOTH reset themselves randomly (and then you
have to go in via serial port to reset to
factory defaults), one cannot even be reset to
factory defaults, and so far, the customer service
from ENGENIUS has been AWFUL (they actually claim
that the device is not their product! But the
seller disagrees, and I have a CD with their
label).
Needless to say, I'm pretty fed up with
Senao/Engenius. I need a Wifi Bridge of some
sort, it needs to be 12 Volts, and... this is
the kicker... it actually needs to work! Any
suggestions?
