Without knowing more about your environment I'd agree with Marlon (gawd,
did I just say that? ;)
I would really look at running something closer to 30-50 customers per
CPE in 802.11b even if you are running low bandwidth plans. I currently
don't have that luxury as I'm topping out at 50-60 customers per AP in
802.11b and it is really not keeping up, but I'm getting the high use
customers moved to 802.11a at a rate I can afford.
As for APs that is a good question, but having used CB3s in AP mode for
micro pops, I can tell you just about anything modern is going to be a
LOT better than what you have.
George has suggested StarOS as a roll your own solution. The other
option is RouterOS on something like a routerboard 532 or the 300s.
I know there are people that have used the Tranzeo APs with success and
I've also heard really good things about Deliberant gear.

Hi Tim,
I've cc'd the wispa list here. Lots of great help on that one too.
75 cpe is pushing the limits of most ap's these days. yeah, they'll
handle more, but if you have many busy ones you'd be bumping up
against the limits for most. Practically speaking.
FIRST though, you are talking about a LOT of power here. 200mw cpe
and 400mw ap's are rarely needed in the real world.
We need to know more about your system configs. Customer distances.
Antennas used. Signal levels. etc. etc. etc.
Feel free to hit me off list as I don't get to the lists ever day.
laters,
marlon

Subject: [isp-wireless] Upgrade question - need access point
compatible with CB3's & teletronics
Help - my current system is becoming increasingly unstable.
Most of my client units are the 200mw NL-2611 CB3 Plus Deluxe
802.11b and
I've used the ENGENIUS/SENAO 400mW WIRELESS AP / BRIDGE 802.11b/g
radios for
the access points & bridges (all at 2.4). But it is not handling the
load
and requires frequent reboots. I'm also seeing strange redirects, which
nobody helped me with previously.
What is my best best for a replacement access point/bridge combo that
would
support 50-75 client units and are compatible with the
Engenius/Teletronics
in place now? Could you also indicate the upper limits with your
recommendations?
Also recommendations for FreeBSD bandwidth shaper software would be a
great
help.
Thanks!
