It's a WiFi based chipset but that has nothing to do with the modulation being all over the place for no apparent reason. That's simply not true Matthew and has nothing to do with the chipset or the PHY layer. If the link is calculated correctly and installed correctly, that is simply not the case. Every single radio out there adapts to a changing environment because if they didn't, they would disconnect when conditions got below the link specifications.
I've got several up, one at 50 miles so we have some experience with the radios. I’m upgrading it to Cambium 820's shortly simply because I want more bandwidth but the radio costs are 5 times higher and we put them in a year ago. However, other B11's we have in place have been flawless as well as our Dragonwaves and Siklus.
