Hey, we're talking about Ubiquiti here. The passing out of the free Rockets was at the end and it was Mike in the corner of the room with a laptop looking up the name of each person who registered to be there and making sure the person asking for the Rocket matched. Of course, no organization wit

Oh, forgot to add to the comment about the UBNT supply issue. Robert Pera said, after being forced to see the supply issue, that he had decided to cancel his plans to attend the other conferences and was going to spend that Time in Asia to push for the UBNT product manufacturers to increase his or

I've found that in noisy environments b works better. Just did a repair at a customer's site, 400 to 700k down, 2 to 3 megs upload. Switched from b/g to b only and no he gets a steady 4 megs both ways. Go figure. Mikrotik with xr2 card. Power set to 20dB with 13dB 120* hpol sector. About 25

I know the mikrotik R52N card is.. I was so excited... Until I read closer. It's certified as a client device, but not as an AP. The AP has to do all the heavy DFS/TPC lifting :( Randy jp wrote: > I'll send one lucky winner $30 paypal if they can show me within a week > the M series is 5.4

We are in the process of replacing all of our old 802.11b gear with 802.11g AP/CPE running on 10mhz channels.802.11g on 10mhz channels is a great solution, as it takes up less spectrum, has more interference resistance and delivers about 2x the speeds of standard 802.11b.In my experienc

Curious note: Ubiquiti Nanostation 5 is 5.4 GHz certified in .br, which has similar requirements to FCC or ETSI certification on that band. My guess it's ETSI certified as well. I would welcome the $100 but my guess is Anatel certification don't qualify, so let's earn it the old way. Rubens On
