For me my reloaded my old reliable Acer and the only browser that works is Chrome and it's tolerable. Firefox, Sea Monkey and Internet Explorer are way too slow. I'm with Josh; my field laptop works with every other radio I've used it on. Even PTP 450. It's when I got to ePMP that I wanted to pull my hair out.

I've never used EPMP but I have noticed some interfaces lag on one browser and not on another. What browser is everyone using when they see lag? What browser are those of you who aren't seeing lag using?

        I doubt that 4 of my high end machines all have the same
        problem.  The interface takes too long when it first shows up.
        Maybe it's because it gets all the information at once, maybe
        not. Don't care.  I want it to be more smooth and faster.
        My phone (Droid Maxx) is one of the most recent models for
        Android.  The interface is terribly slow and clumsy on that.
        Well if you feel a poor technology choice was the cause,
        that's fine, but it's just flat out wrong.  I don't want to
        carry a big fat i7 laptop up the tower when I could just
        simply use my phone.  It works with Ubiquiti, FSK Cambium,
        Tranzeo, Trango, Mikrotik, etc it should only make sense the
        one product with a clumsy interface needs fixed instead of
        changing my devices that work with the competitors products
        (as well as different products under their portfolio).

            maybe it's a computer problem and not a device problem,
            just trying to bring valid input to the discussion.

                Why are you/others arguing that the speed is just

                    As I doubt a screen capture will work when I'm

                    Login takes forever.  The first like 10-15 seconds
                    just load and load and load.  Once you're in, it's
                    acceptable in terms of page rendering.

                        not sure why everyone says it's slow tho

                            Ok, Cambium, this is a little sad.  My
                            Field Laptop, a Lenovo S10-3t, Atom
                            Processor with Windows 8.1 cannot load the
                            EPMP WEB Pages in a timely manner.  We're
                            talking 40-60 seconds for initial load,
                            and 20-30 seconds per screen refresh/menu
                            change.  Since I'm going to have to go to
                            the boss, and tell him that I need a new
                            laptop to do any field troubleshooting for
                            these new radios, what are the minimum
                            system specs for a machine to view the
                            EPMP Screens? Unless Cambium is going to
                            get their Web interface under control as
                            of Yesterday.

                            They still swear that the GUI was all
                            developed in house and not purchased
                            (something I still can't believe).  I'd
                            like to know who the engineers/managers
                            are who signed off on that design.  I can
                            only imaging that there was a group of
                            guys sitting around the conference table,
                            watching the presentation on the GUI on
                            the projector up front, all nodding their
                            heads in agreement, "I think this is a
                            wonderful layout, the field tech's won't
                            mind waiting a couple extra minutes for
                            the pages to load so they can look this
                            pretty!!"

                            I think that Cambium should step up and
                            get engineers from ALL aspects of product
                            development out into the field.  40
                            seconds waiting for the page to load is
                            fine when you're sitting in the office,
                            but not when you have the laptop balanced
                            on a stack of firewood in the freezing
                            rain trying to get to the monitoring page
                            to see why a radio isn't linking up.  I
                            think that every WISP on this list would
                            be more than happy to host an engineer for
                            a day. Heck, even if they go into the
                            parking lot and assemble it on the
                            tailgate of someone's Pickup, they'll get
                            some idea of what we experience.

                            I have a feeling that if all steps of the
                            Dev process took a week in the field, We'd
                            have a radio that had a GUI that responded
                            instantly on any device, and radios that
                            assembled and mounted (and unmounted) with
                            1 gloved hand.
