And as this thread starts, another AirRouter bites the dust 60 miles from my closest tech. We can tell because the outdoor radio reports the port at 10Mbps.

We use the LR’s now. In some cases, we put a bigger antenna on them that gives another 2dB but depending on where we have to install, we sometimes run 2 of them or start with AirRouter-HPs and bigger antennas. When we do that the customer has to live with WPA security.

Even though the AG/AR have the exact same antenna, I'm concerned about it's placement destroying its coverage in homes. I like the AG-LR's mounting bracket almost as much as the external antenna.
