Oh, and get this.. Disconnect power from it and let it boot a few
times... After a few cycles, web server no longer works.
There's a service bulletin for this problem as of Monday... "Can't
access GUI Interface"
/
//"We expect to have a software fix identified and available//
//shortly. Customers have the option of either RMAing the unit//
//for a replacement or, if they prefer, they can arrange to have a//
//replacement SD card mailed to them. The customer would//
//then have to follow a procedure to remove the lid of the//
//controller and replace the SD card, discarding the original.//
//As soon as the software fix is ready, we will have more//
//instructions available for this replacement.//
//A product RMA request can be opened from the Cambium//
//Customer Support Portal at the following URL://
//http://support.cambiumnetworks.com"/
..or just use Win32DiskImager and flash the IMG from the support website
onto the SD card.
This product is NOT ready for prime time, and certainly isn't worth
hundreds of dollars.
grr

I suspect you could... maybe that's why they have to charge so much :P
