Because the modem and D-Link will be in a remote location (on the pole) about 8 feet up, and no real road access, resetting the equipment may prove to be problematic. I am considering putting the modem and D-Link on a timer that would turn of at midnight for say 2 minutes. This service will be used for business and their will be no need for night access. Any thoughts?
I can't comment on the Cable Modem, but I have 2 DWL-900AP+ units installed in the field in simple "rainproof" electrical boxes. Both are on the top of flat roofed buildings with no real shelter beyond the steel box itself. They've been rock-solid for a few months now, and we don't do any sort of tricks to keep them alive. Winter is coming up, so I don't know how they will fare in the colder weather, but in my experience, electronics like cold, right?  |
