Rick, I got to get my hands on a couple of Bullets this past week. They work as expected with no real huge differences over the NS5s and PS5, operationally. I still prefer the PowerStations as clients personally because of the all in one package with a nice coupled antenna. I have still heard and seen problems with the SMA ext. connector on the NS5, so this definitely resolves that issue!
I think it is a great idea and the price point is exceptional. I see it as more of an AP application when combined with sectorized antennas or as a CPE with high gain directionals. I didn't get to test the functionality of software (like the IPSEC VPN that was requested) but I did see the same type of patterns as with the other Ubiquiti AirOS platforms, for what its worth. These things are gonna be great. -drew On 11/26/08 12:48 AM, "RickG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I used and loved Trango at the last WISP I owned/operated in West > Palm.
