Absolutely true. They are trained in the art of the "Magic Reboot".

My biggest concern with these units is (a) lack of mechanical robustness - little plastic bits leak or break off quite easily and (b) lack of a hardware watchdog timer which personally I think is essential esp. when you're using "development stage" firmware. We did most of the work to port our Qcode to run on the ubnt platform, but have decided to shelf that project for another year, waiting for things to really settle down. In the CCTV business, there's no-one around to power-cycle the equipment and unrecoverable device hangs are really a disaster. I realize that the ISP business is a little different because the customer can always reboot the CPE!
