I have performed a site survey and installation for outside wireless coverage. There was not apparent ground available, so I put the lightning arrestor onto the AP and ran the ground off of that and then ran the ground into the building ground via a clamp on plug with only the ground attached.

Here are some pictures of what I did.

Is there a problem in the way I did this or is this in line with what is commonly done in the field? The lightning arrestor documentation indicated that the arrestor be outside the building, which I would prefer to do, but then I don't have a ground available.

Has anyone else run into this? What are some other ways to approach this issue.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
