We also have problems with the not powering anything issue. It was difficult as we never saw with our own eyes, but we think it was combination of the ethernet cable being loose enough in the ethernet jack (thus the eventual taping the thing in, we’ll try the Gorilla glue you mentioned) and them accidentally turning the POE off on the slider switch on the end. Since we have gone over that basic troubleshooting with them we haven’t seen issues, but that was fairly recently.

So far so good. I have a second that will not power anything. Need to get it back to them.

Only complaint was the old units have shitty Ethernet ports that don't hold the cable and zip ties aren't enough. I sent mine in for repair and happy since. I've tried tons of home made options... This is the best solution.

Inside is a tiny 12V lead acid battery because it is forgiving and easy to charge in the car. It has a 48volt dc/dc converter with a switch that lets us choose between 12v and 48V so that we can power either Ubiquiti or wimax CPEs. We have a volt/Amp guage so that we can clearly see what voltage is selected and see the condition of the battery. The amp guage is handy as it indicates if something is wrong with the line or cpe/line we are testing. A thermal fuse protects everything against bad cat5,cpes or misconnections. We also have a red jumper with the power lines crossed in case we need to power up an older Canopy unit. Lastly the cigarette lighter port means we can power odd ball devices or a small ac inverter. Been using that for years. I was planning to add an airgateway with Static IPs + DHCP so we can connect to all the different types of equipment we use wirelessly. If I can’t script it to choose the appropriate default gateway I may use a raspberry pi instead. Although instead of even doing that. I may next build lithium batteries and wifi into the spare room in the CPE case. Then its just the cpe on a pole and an iPhone to hold onto. Maybe put an iphone case on the pole.

Works very well as it has the access point built in and you can connect from your phone. They also have 48V upconvertor if you are not using 24V.
