844E is the best home router ever in my 16 years doing this. At 500 with 2 failures, one was fried other was 2.4ghz quit both were replaced RMA. I absolutely hate paying per customer for stuff, it is actually the only thing I use that I have to pay that, but it creates almost zero trouble tickets for our customers and my secretary actually solves 95% of the calls because she can use it.

I'd contact the calix rep for your region and request a demo unit. -sean On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 8:52 AM Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com<mailto:af...@kwisp.com>> wrote: For those of you who’ve successfully deployed Calix: I’ve been wanting to do something with the 844E and 804 since WISPAmerica 2.5 years ago, but I feel like I’m at the starting line of a marathon with my feet stuck in buckets full of concrete. Calix has tons of documentation, and after reading it, I feel about 1% smarter. I don’t know what the end user or a tech sees as an interface for analytics and troubleshooting and tweaking settings. I don’t know if you can do a standalone implementation with just the Calix Cloud and some Gigacenters and Mesh units, I get the impression you need to mess with APIs and tie into all sorts of operations systems that we don’t have. I’m not even clear on whether we need to set up some kind of on-network TR-069 server, or if that’s all a cloud service hosted by Calix. Is the Calix stuff relatively straightforward to use, on a par with Cambium cnPilot and cnMaestro Cloud? And maybe Calix documentation is just very confusing or I’m being stupid? Or are these things pretty complicated to incorporate into a WISP network and get all the advantages of the devices and cloud management? I’m trying to decide whether to keep struggling and get more help from Calix, or give up. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
