Paul, There are posts on the MT forums of complaints with similar issues. I have had similar issues with the 751 and 951 units. Signal strength is sporatic and throughput is initially ok, then quickly drops off to zero. I switched to 2011 series and have never looked back. MT keeps avoiding questions about this on the support forums so it's highly unlikely that they will ever admit the root cause. My customers were unhappy with some of the units I deployed, so I just quit using them alltogether.
