275 Trapeze/Juniper wireless APs. 0 failures in the last 2 years. 3 years ago we had about 5-7 failures due to a known flaw in the AP. Their older a/b/g model (MP-422 for those in the Trapeze/Juniper boat) had a problem of burning out the signal amplifier if the power was turned up too much. Before I arrived all the APs were cranked to the max; after setting more reasonable power levels, we’ve had no other problems.
