Hey everyone,

I have 2 comfast 5ghz WiFi multi point to point bridges connected to my dahua poe ports, 1 of which has no issues what so ever, the connected cameras never drop out.

The 2nd though was dropping out randomly usually every few days, after a reboot of the nvr it comes back online, also after It drops out I get the failed to find network host error and at this point a ping test to the access point fails.

I replaced the access point with another one the same to See what happens and now it works for about a week before dropping out...

Has anyone got any ideas what's wrong?

Both access points are set up the same and everything has static ip's...

Thanks.
 
Most likely a cable issue.
Did you properly waterproof all connections outdoors.
Did you use Di-electric grease on the RJ45 connections outdoors?
Did you use solid copper ethernet cable that is at least a 24awg wire size, and not copper clad aluminum?
 
aadje93 - yeah maybe, i didnt consider this, the ap that works without a problem is a more expensive model than the one that is dropping out, maybe it has a bit more power...

looney2ns - there is no connections that can get wet, i used Dahua cat 6 cable, it says the conductor size is 0.53mm
