Well, it's still the Purewave Quantum 6600 that Mercury acquired. I assume
the 2.5 GHz version will work better than 3.65 GHz, if you have EBS
spectrum. Mercury talks about having a new product, but that may still be
vaporware, not sure, I don't see any details on their website. Seems like
anything WiMAX would be in legacy mode, I don't know why you'd deploy WiMAX
today if you don't already have some in your network.

So, how does that Mercury product work with non line of sight compared
to 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz?

Anyone seen these routers leak LAN to WAN? We hooked up a new customer
who has one of these and while it is establishing a PPPoE session on the
WAN side, we are also seeing his LAN side MAC address, we are seeing a
rogue DHCP server from him, and can even log into his router at
192.168.2.1 with no password and screw around with stuff. We can't log in
via his WAN address though, as expected. The performance to his LAN
address via the WAN seems sluggish, as if the sneak path isn't full
bandwidth.
I guess he could have connected a cable from the Internet port to a LAN
port and then another LAN port to our POE, but I'm pretty sure no.
I was blaming this on the Mercury WiMAX CPE we used for the first time on
this install instead of Greenpacket, since its default IP address is
192.168.2.1. I even opened a ticket with Mercury claiming they had a
problem with their bridged mode. But now I realize it is the Belkin
router.
Oh, and the Mercury CPE is pretty nice, except I miss the diecast
articulating mount. It appears to be made by KZ Broadband Technologies.
