So I don't know why both cases cracked themselves open, but they both did. Both cases show other heat stress, on the tops. This wasn't environmental, as these were indoors in climate controlled spaces. But the actual hardware is getting pretty warm, even with cases off, and the case ventilation is poor. Node 2 has been running most of the day. I guess I'll let it keep going while Node 3 runs for a day and just see what happens. But I do think these cases need a lot more venting. I have drills and no one will stop me. I wonder if OpenWRT will run on these things. That might be nice. #diy #repair #wifi #asus

Whelp I've got these old ASUS nodes running; so far the only thing I've found for sure is that node 2 had a broken antenna cable (now repaired) and now they're all working. I'm wondering whether on site the broken antenna - which critically may be is the backhaul antenna - had been installed improperly but had not fully broken _until_ the node 2 case somehow opened itself right next to that antenna cable. Maybe that finished the cable off, tearing it. I don't know. (Meanwhile, in node 3, which also opened its own case somehow, the same cable was bent up a bit and kind of wedged into the area where the case separated. that cable is, however, intact.) #diy #repair #wifi #asus

Why would these thermal pads be... wet this does not seem right. is this a breakdown mode of some thermal pads? Or is it something else entirely, or even by design? (This device powers up and behaves normally until it doesn't, at which point it flashes its one LED continuously. It feels like overheating, but since it just disappears offline, it's hard to tell.) #tech #repair #diy #asus #wifi #router
