[Karlnet] AP-1000 Durability & Repair

["Bill Fisher" <fisher@akorn.net>]

I've had two AP-1000's bite the dust in the numerous lightning storms we're 
having this year.  I've got ethernet protection right at the device as well as 
on the antenna connectors.  The last one seems to just be an ethernet port 
issue.  It hangs on that port when booting.  The radios are working great.  

1. Are these things just not robust for outdoor use in terms of lightning?

2. Does anyone fix these things for a price that makes sense to do so?  I think 
I paid $199 for them, so it might be hard.

Thanks

Bill
