quit often. i work in the telecom industry and all kabels and devices indoor and outdoor are “grounded” and when lightning strikes all energy is been diverted to the ground. if the MT GW will survive that is open to debate. it is made out of plastic and RF open. time will tell. enclosing the unit in a metal enclousure wil be the beter option. the 2ghz wlan is then useless.
