Agreed. The Dell 28xx Series is also great value. They work really well for breaking off VLANs from a RouterBoard where we don't have rack space available to us. We trust our datacenter with stacked 6248 switches. The Dell PoE switches are also great. From a management point of view it's

I am looking for reflectors that can be used with the NS2 or NS2L to increase gain and directionality. Has anyone seen or heard of something like this? It seems to me to be an obvious add-on to the radios and a much better way to get more gain than using the external antenna port on the NS2.

I wouldn't use a dish on the NS2, maybe the NS2L is ok. NS2 has two patch antennas internally, which will cause a really screwed up pattern out of a dish. Even though people claim to do it, I would not. NS2L has only a single patch, and should be better, but still not perfect. Keep in mind
