Haven't bought anything from Engenius since the CB3s, we tried some of
their new 802.11g gear when it first came out and found that it had
hardware issues (high failure rate and overheating issues, even
indoors). It failed even faster than HighGain stuff did.
Now the CB3, that was an indistructable radio, I have over a hundred
still deployed after 7 years although they are all due to get replaced
this spring since we didn't get everything replaced last fall.

Although I'm guessing very few folks on this list use Engenius
EOC-1650 access points, I can relate that my very small experiment
sampling product quality in outdoor Engenius gear from Microcenter has
yielded 100% duds.
That is, of the APs purchased in a pinch last month because my usual
supplier was out of stock, all of them, 100% of them, or not 0% of
them, have been returned due to defects discovered.
Both appeared to have transmitter failures, one exhibited maybe 20% or
30% of the tx power it should have had, and the other appears to have
lost its transmitter entirely.
Thankfully, Microcenter took them both back, probably to be packed
back into boxes and re-shelved.
