They've released several new firmware upgrades in the last 1-2 years, and support AAM (that actually works) and hitless-AAM now. HAAM has been great for us with the occasional ducting we get in the valley. I can deal with it dropping from 280MBps to 110Mbps at 6am rather than dropping the link

An RTS/CTS setting of 3000 means it's effectively disabled. You'd have to set it below 1500 for it to do anything. It's not looking like that's your problem anyway. RTS/CTS will help performance when customers upload large frames (specifically ones larger than your RTS/CTS setting). You'd have
