I was going to say that about our ubnt gear as well, but I will admit they were
running beta firmware at the time. So, I can't say that - as a public release.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti next product.... another router?
Sorry... I don't agree that Ubiquiti is in the same category as Cisco or
Motorola. I have Cisco switches and routers with 5+ YEARS of uptime. My
main Cisco switch is moving over 1500Mbps of graphic daily and has been
up for over 2+ years.
We have had many Ubiquiti radios that if they have more than 100 days
uptime, you have to reboot them BEFORE doing a firmware upgrade or else
when they come back they won't pass traffic (even though they are
connected via wireless).
