Don't forget Wireless Manager, PMP320, and BAM. What else am I missing that I got completely screwed out of thousands of dollars for by Motorola and Cambium? I'll have to be pretty drunk to invest in one of their tools again.

At least they do LinkPlanner right.

    Cambium is also rolling a managed router platform with cnmaestro.
    I honestly don't know enough about the routers.

                We started doing it on our fiber network with 844E and
                we have over a 90% take rate at $7.  The only mistake
                I made was starting at $7  :) Calix can be a bit of a
                pain to buy from. And maybe if you are just wanting to
                buy routers even more of a pain, I am not sure.  But
                once you are setup with them, they are awesome.  Gino
                I saw again that you are still waiting, did they ever
                call you?  My sales rep keeps telling me he is hitting
                up your sales rep?  Maybe yours spends to much time on
                the beach drinking mai tai’s Ill send another email

                            the router remains our property and we

                            At that price i expected the take rate to

                                What pricing models are others using
                                for the R200/R201/844E managed home
                                routers? Do you sell the customer the
                                router, lease it, just give it,
                                charge for management, sell it
                                without management, etc?


                                [During a promotional time, I have
                                been using the R200 and sell it to
                                new customers for $50 (at a loss to
                                help adoption). Then, I don't charge
                                for remote management. I've been
                                pretty pleased, but I'm debating
                                whether to sell the router (since it
                                requires convincing the customer) or
                                just including it. Also, I want to
                                start charging for management, but
                                I'm not sure what a reasonable rate
                                is. I recognize it will vary by area,
