I've went to using all AirGrids for my normal CPE installs, using the Nanos for esthetics where we don't want a more visible grid. They've worked great for us. I installed a 27dbi this past weekend that is 6 miles out and on the lower end of the Fresnel but after the 5.1.5 firmware it behaves nicely. Then again, I'm using mostly all UBNT sectors now as well.
I just love the ease of the things as well as the price. Have you upgraded the firmware to the newest Beta? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of RickG Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 11:00 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] UBNT "M" Was: Ubiquiti made no points today I've been using regular Bullets and NS2's which have been working great. So, I thought I'd give the "M" units a try. So far, nothing but poor signal, dropped packets, & low throughput. Replacing them with regular units fix the issue. What gives?
