Title: Antrouter R1 Case short Post by: Btlfedgolf on December 11, 2015, 05:10:46 AM I got my antrouter yesterday, and plugged it in with no issue. Today I was moving all my mining equipment to a new location. When I went to move the Antrouter it shocked me. I did a quick search(here and google), and nothing came up. I have already contacted the seller, but I was curious if anyone else was having the same issue.

I have already contacted the seller, but I was curious if anyone else was having the same issue. I have have one no issues with shocking. Do you know if the shock as from case or possible surge protector? I would try on a different surge protector if not on one already. It is odd that it would be able to build up shock through case and still work. I would think you would have some issues.

I should not assume but you are using on a US outlet right? Not somewhere where adapter is needed? I'm going to guess US. But your on right track on contacting seller. I would love to tell you to open it up and see if something is off, but that no doubt would make it where seller would make you keep it.

I would also love to tear it open, but think that could void any kind of warranty I have.

Title: Re: Antrouter R1 Case short Post by: Btlfedgolf on December 14, 2015, 11:11:42 PM Well I found the problem. It turns out all the power strips I tried had grounded enclosures. So when the metal of the case touched the grounded metal of the power strips it would energize the case. I attached it to a normal wall outlet without issue.

Hope it works great. I have have one no issues with shocking. Do you know if the shock as from case or possible surge protector? I would try on a different surge protector if not on one already.

I'm not always crazy :) I did suggest on trying another one all surge protectors, and power strips are not equal. |
