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?
