I am 99.9% all UBNT now. The UBNT are quick, plug and play. Cheaper to stock, antennas integrated into the CPE give a clean look. Signals are steady and my ROI is zero day.
The 411AH are fantastic but for now I'd use them for a "weird" install where I need additional config features. The ONLY issue I have is firmware lockups. I still get the occasional Rocket or Bullet not responding. Not as much as before but still an issue. For the plastic case, I use the double shielded cable with static drain and shielded connectors. Have never had an issue with the grounding. Lucky maybe, who can tell!

I would like to know how they compare: 1. As a point to point link. 2. As an access point. Right now I only use Mikrotik for links and AP's and I use Ubiquiti for cpe. I am ready to install equipment on a new tower and was thinking about Using AirMax Rocket for AP to take avantage of MIMO. I know Rocket will be cheaper but I don't know how they compare to a MT411AH as far as the amount of bandwidth and packets they can process. I am leaning towards MT on the links and Rocket for AP. I am concerned about the plastic cases. I really like having the boards in a metal enclosure so it can be grounded and shielded well. I know I have had problems with lightening popping the ethernet port on the Ubiquiti units even when they are grounded. With MT I can put ethernet surge protection in the enclosure. What are you guys seeing in the real world as the performance and reliability of Rockets? Any do and don'ts would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks and have a great Labor Day.
