A data center in Brisbane was effected by a power issue and it has now been rectified. Apparently they were delayed getting into the building because the fire alarms were set off and the building had to be cleared before anyone could enter again.

There is a fibre optic cable between Ipswich and Fernvale that has been causing issues on the network. Field techs investigated the problem today and eventually found damaged cables in the ground.

After trying to patch us into another cable they found that one was damaged too. They plan to return tomorrow with an excavator to repair the damage. Until then we are running on a backup link which gives very limited access.

Sorry for the delay getting this repaired. We are currently in the hands of the fibre provider. I will keep everyone updated as best as possible.

Thanks for your patience

It seems the storm damaged something at the tower. I'll head up as soon as I can but I'll have to wait for the rain to go

Tonight I will be moving to a new data centre cabinet and internet link. The change will happen around 11pm and I am planning on a short outage while the network is rerouted but it may also cause a few unforeseen glitches while I get everything back online so please bare with me.

Seems there are still a few bugs in the system after replacing the lightning damaged routers and radios. I've been working on it this morning and made a few more adjustments. As always, thanks for the feedback and send me a text if you are still seeing any issues

Good evening everyone, if you are looking at upgrading the wifi in your house have a look at the TP-Link Deco units. Umart has a great special on at the moment. I suggest a 2 pack ( https://www.umart.com.au/product/tp-link-ax1800-whole-home-mesh-wifi-6-system-2-pack-deco-x20-2-pack-56758) for a single story house or a 3 pack ( https://www.umart.com.au/product/tp-link-ax1800-whole-home-mesh-wifi-6-system-3-pack-deco-x20-3-pack-62713 ) for a double story.

Prices for these units change all the time but at the moment they are really cheap compared to normal. Just thought I would let you know.
