Mistakes were made, but we’re mostly back online.
Replaced the semi-fried gen2 dish with a refurbed 4x. Tried to re-use the cable that I buried in 120 ft of conduit 3 years ago, but it had a proprietary connector.
It is just a shielded ethernet cable, but I think they used 23AWG wire or maybe even thicker, and my cat6 ends only go up to 24AWG.
So I made an emergency run into Cape to get a new 150ft ethernet cable which is currently strung out across the yard. I’ll order new cat6 ends tonight and hopefully get back on the buried cabling by next weekend.
The heat index as over 120 today, broiling me alive, but I did get to watch some heat lightning in that cloud on the horizon at dusk.
