We have standardized on one type of firmware as well.. The bridges have
higher gain but less power. From a forum post I made after showing the
boss why we wanted to not do the bridges.
We see 1 green light without reflector and 2 green lights with the
reflector. (Installer speak)
We don't use it to make iffy connections better, we use it to enhance
good connections to great connections.
Honestly, if UBNT would make a dual-pol hi-power-hi-gain CPE I would be
all over it. I don't want to use the nanobridge mini-dishes if it costs
me 4-5dBm of power.
Nanobridge [email protected]: 23 dBm :: gain: 18 dBi
Nanobridge [email protected]: 23 dBm :: gain: 25 dBi (M5-25)
Nanostation: [email protected]: 28 dBm :: gain: 8 dBi
Nanostation: [email protected]: 27 dBm :: gain: 13 dBi
Nanostation w/reflector: [email protected]: 28 dBm :: gain: 8 dBi + Reflector
Nanostation w/reflector: [email protected]: 27 dBm :: gain: 13 dBi + Reflector
I'll probably end up in handcuffs for publishing/using this data.

Why not just use Nanobridge? They work well, and are cheaper then NS2/Reflector
combo, and easier to install, probably at the same gain.

Subject: [WISPA] NanoStation M w/ Reflector Installs
We have decided to standardize on the NanoStationM2 for all our 2.4Ghz
installs. At this time, the installers use the lights on the radio for
alignment. When using a reflector, they are complaining that they can't
see the lights on the radio to align it. Besides allowing them to login
to the radio to check signal, what are you guys doing to properly align
the NSM radios when using a reflector? Is it as difficult as my
installers are making it out to be?
