I can't remember when I got my Orbi, 10+ years I think. RBR50 and RDS50 Satellite. Originally picked it because the satellite has ethernet ports and I can run a PoE switch for cameras off the shop. Been rock solid.

The only downside of those saws. Love mine but boy does it scatter the chips. I've tried to come up with some nice elegant idea using pieces of duct or something along those lines to catch and dump them into a bucket, but then I get distracted (look a squirrel...) and forget about it till the...

If only it was Isolated Ground :rolleyes:

The thread that keeps on giving. Yep, still broke ;)

T568B was based on old AT&T wiring scheme for their digital PBX phones. Those used Pairs 2 & 3 which were pins 1&2 (pair 2) and pins 3&6 (pair 3). These are the original data pairs (for 10Base-T and AT&T digital phones). Pair 1 stays on the center pins 4&5 so they can be used for POTS as a...

FWIW, I have a non-heated, very poorly insulted ~800sg ft shop on the east-side of the Cascades. Winter temps are typically under freezing, with high 20s to mid 30s normal in the shop. I'm out there a lot, for the most part it doesn't bother me. Hand warmers in my hoodie pocket and I'm good...

Have you tried running a fish tape down it to see if there's ice (or anything for that matter) is blocking it?

Almost as expensive at least

You want to make sure the entire run is continuous. Just use a section of liquidtite flexible conduit, other wise bugs, moisture and god only knows what else will get into it. Take a vacuum, **** a string through it and pull a rag or ? to clear it out.

My favorite one is whatever my wife is using ;)

Exactly why they are trying to get rid of inventory

(Beat me to it) (I hold Contractor level licenses in a few states and have looked into in many others, ain't easy from out of state) Better look into it more...
