..... NanoM ? or just plain Nano ? I have no experience with the plain Nano, but would suggest that you visit the UBNT forum and do a bit of pokeing arround, would not be surprised if there were firmware related issues...
My playing has only been with the "M" grear. Their 2x2 MIMO "M" grear is a very different animal... After having experienced the affects of MIMO in the 802.11n , indoors with Ruckus Wireless and now outdoors with the Ubiquity "M" stuff... it is hard to go back and consider 802.11 a/b/g gear... knowing fully well that 802.11'n from Ubiquity is 'work in progress'....... It is like getting hooked on fishing... even a 'bad day' of fishing is better that a great day at the office :) I cannot wait to see more mfg. come out with 802.11n gear, with reasonable pricing ...since, in my personal opinion each of the mfg. have their own solid niche points..
