ESD issues still haunting me.
Box did disconnect like it should , but a little bit too late. (I lost one ethernet port on my DSL modem, but i have 3 left ;)
That is probably because I should have attached a longer(better) antenna.


Since I made this a modular design I can take the radio receiver board out of the box, and place it somewhere more appropriate for avoiding unintended ESD reception and attach a better antenna.

updates will follow...
