hi, have seen and suffered from same. nearby strikes can cause enough surge to fry things. best solution - air-gaps where possible between devices (eg fibre to link switches), surge protectors on ethernet cables where needed (eg feeds from Access points) - and if the APs have external antennae then use lightning arrestors on the coax cables. why main wireless vendors still don't do SFP/SFP+-based APs I don't know... (would mean only the AP cooks and the edge switch isnt the victim.... alan
