Thanks! Not always easy to determine since the Access has the battery backup. I went into my modem’s event log and it looks like it was my internet being down that cause my problem.

It was my lost internet connection that cause my missing data. I also looked at other stations in my area on WU and saw the same missing data gap as mine. So, Comcast internet was down in my area.

MyAcuRite.com report that both my SmartHub and Access lost communication last night approximately between 12:15 AM & 3:25 AM CST. Not sure of the reason, but it could have been because my internet was down or there was an AcuRite server problem. It would be an AcuRite problem if other people lost communication too. So….

Anyone else lose communication last night?

I received a text from Acurite on Monday 3:51am (EST) that "No signal received from 5-in-1 Weather Station in more than 2 hours. Check batteries and verify range and placement."

That looks like it might coincide with your outage. I'm in Mass.

I'm getting a random less than two hour drop on my CT station now and again. I can't figure out why.

Fingers crossed, I haven't had any issues with the unit disconnecting for long periods of time. I'm hoping the new firmware update took care of that.

The VT Access has been on the fritz for a little over a day now. Not sure what the cause is. Usually, a drop off will correct itself, but this one remains sporadic. Overall, it's been fairly stead for quite some time. Will keep an eye on it and hope things shake out on their own.

I hope Acurite is working to give us more options on the Access... Especially after the smarthub being bricked.

It's back online again. Seems to be fine now. I'll certainly keep watching it for any future drop offs.

I never figured out what caused these random drops. Perhaps there was a power blip there.

Just found a problem with the access connect. The Cat5 cable sent with it is not Cat5 pinout. Its a straight wired. You need a Cat5 with the correct pairs of wires on the right pins. IE 1 and 2 are xmit and 3 and 6 are rec.

It should be straight.

However, sometimes you need a crossover if the run in your house is not terminated correctly.

The router has its xmit on pins 1 and 2 that pair of wires should go to the other end to 1 and 2. The router has recive on 3 and 6 that pair of wires should fo to 3 and 6 of the other end. Its not a crossover I'm just saying the twisted pair of wires have to be on these pins or your trying to push a signal down split pairs of wire which don't work so well.

I can't see your cable and I'm a little confused by your post. In any case I just checked the patch cable that came with my Access and it's a correctly wired Cat5 patch cable.

Here is how it should be wired:



If yours is different, perhaps you got a bad cable.

Yes that wiring you showed is correct. Mine wasn't new cable worked great, Thanks.

? I'm lost...

On 10/100 ethernet you need dedicated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) pins, so that TX would always go to RX. For that reason devices which were to connect to network would have MDI (medium dependent interface) while network device like hubs, switches would have reversed TX/RX layout or MDI-X. If you wanted to connect two PCs directly (MDI to MDI), you would need crossover cable.

On gigabit ethernet and above, there are no dedicated TX/RX pins, all data can be transmitted and received simultaneously (auto MDI-X).
If you have gigabit ports on switch or router, even when if you plug in a 10/100 device like Access, gigabit ports would automatically adjust, no matter what cable is used (straight or crossover).

Sometimes though, it won't work as intended and you have to be mindful of which cable is used (very rare these days).
