I am having the problems with 6000 5a Tranzeos lately they seem to lockup or now the signal levels have dropped drastically at two locations.

You have a Good Day now,

I've had great luck too in the past. RMA lead time is way too long though for me - 2-3 weeks to get one repaired and sent back.

I do use the routing features, which could be what is causing the lockups. Not sure. Either way, I've been disappointed lately and need to get more reliable gear. I've had great luck with Tranzeo to this point - I'm not sure what has happened, but something has and as a fairly small provider, I can't afford truck rolls due to faulty gear.

I've purchased about 70 of the CPQ's, and I haven't seen the kind of trouble you're having. Had to send 1 back because something was rattling inside of it. Tranzeo had one to me in two days (from Canada), cross-shipped, which I didn't have to ask for.

I am not using the routing features, just the bridging.

For an inexpensive CPE that can reliably go 20 miles, people are really happy that they are so small. I routinely get the question "That's it? That's all it is?" ...referring to the small size of them (even the 19db antennas).

I wish they had a telnet or ssh management interface. That's a minus about them.

My customer base is rural/residential/small business, so you can evaluate my comments accordingly.

Trying to evaluate all of my options here, and thought I would see what other CPE are out there that are comparable to Tranzeo CPQ units (802.11b, built-in router, etc). Want to stay within that price range, but DON'T want to build a unit myself. Not that I'm not happy with the CPQ's, but I've had a run of bad ones (to the tune of 1 in almost every 10 pack I get in here) and just not sure what's going on. I just got word of a price increase on the CPE units also (not the CPQ's though).

I'd also like to get something a little smaller in physical size than the Tranzeo's. Not that they are bad, but would be nice if they weren't quite such an eyesore. Again, that's not a huge issue though.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out. I've considered Canopy, but of course, that's an entire network change. Just not sure if I want to do that, and not sure if it would be as financially economical as Tranzeo in the long run.
