I ain't got no variac, son Field guys tried replacing two of the affected routers yesterday evening and the replacements did the same thing. The original units work fine at our office. So I'm pretty convinced it's a local power issue, and I'm pretty convinced it only affects only the Nokia router because Nokia is the only one who undersized their power supply.

The specs on the power supply are a bit suspect too. Max of 1A at Min 100V = 100 watts to put out 24W of power?

From: Adam Moffett Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2024 3:09 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] Sizing DC Power Supplies So riddle me this: Let's say you have this 12V device which needs a maximum of 24.3 Watts. [cid:ii_193b7df04b0cb971f161] What amperage of 12V switching power supply would you spec for this device? Personally, I'd go for around 2.5 - 3.0 Amps so I have a safety margin. Nokia supplies a 12V 2.0 Amp. [cid:ii_193b7df04b0cb971f162] So 24VA to supply up to 24.3W. If those numbers are real, then isn't that undersized to start with? I would never have looked except that we have 3 of these on the same street all rebooting every few minutes, and they all started doing it at the same time this morning. It so happens they're all getting electric service off the same transformer, so I'm imagining there's low voltage or some other condition making the DC power supply a little less efficient and now it ain't got the juice to keep the device running. In which case someone at Nokia is an idiot. Please tell me if I'm the crazy one here. -Adam ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
