I use a program used smonitor and ping everything every 3 minutes and I do not have all these problems that everyone else is talking about. I did have some problems that the new firmware fixed. Maybe its the size of the wisp? I have about 26 customers setup on 5 different access points (all about 4-6 miles apart) and I can pull about 3 meg per second thru to the end of my network. I had an issue last week but it was my fault and an antenna moved. I for one am happy with smartbridges product (so far).
