Yeah, I saw that, many times. Are there any other reviews? I suspect the good performance over and above a regular high quality AP is that it's dual band mesh. The Ruckus gear is dual band mesh right? I get a lot of hits when I Google "ruckus dual band mesh mediaflex" but the Ruckus site isn't totally clear. Could a little more directional gain really make that much difference? I suspect head to head with other dual band mesh gear the Ruckus gear would prove to be similar in performance. It needs to be an apples to apples comparison.
