I am going to weigh in on this. I think SB is the MOST
responsive of all the vendors out there. I only have 4 APPO units at the
moment but I am getting ready to buy 100 more thanks to a federal
grant! I have never had a problem with the APPO units, and I have run
the gambit on trying other units. My system is small compared to others
but with the $444,000 grant I am gonna expand now. I have great faith in
SB on price to performance ratio.I wouldn't consider a vendor with a
high failure rate. There rate is ~1.5 % which isn't bad. My system now
has 4 APPO units (up to date firmware always) with about 30 D-Link
DWL-900 AP's (the old ones) not +. I had a heck of a time getting my 20
mile link to work. I spent most of last summer trying to get it to work
with D-Link equipment but no go. Then I got SB units and they worked and
have worked flawlessly for a year now. Yes they are the older units with
50 Ft. of cat cable and stock power injectors. The problem turned out to
be a timing issue with the D-Link units. Anything over 10 miles was VERY
intermittent. So, I talk with experience and believe in the SB units. So
consider the response that SB gives, not trying to hide problems, and
they LISTEN to the customer. I wish other vendors would adopt the same
attitude as SB.
