You ought to try Star-Os AP's if you want an AP that never takes a licking and doesn't stop ticking.

I wonder if SB will change the return policy given the ongoing failures and give refunds (in lieu of replacement equipment) for the broken product we all have?
What I've learned in my almost one year now of working with SB equipment is that when it's good, it's really good, but when it's bad, it's worse than awful since not only does it cost time and money, but also frustration on the part of our customers. Their are too many choices for broadband in most communities to be putting up CPE for a customer then going home and praying that it doesn't fail. We need to know it's going to work.
For what it's worth, we've been migrating to Teletronics EZ-Bridges. These
are working great so far for the CPE equipment and cost less than ABOs. And they automatically reassociate if you change APs. We're still looking
for alternatives for APs...if anyone has any experience with other
equipment that can be used in place of an APPO please email me off-list
with any suggestions.
Getting back to my original question, if we were able to get cash refunds for the SB equipment that doesn't work (and not be forced to use the original packaging, which imo is a cop-out to shield the company from having to give cash refunds) we could use the cash to replace the faulty equipment with another vendor (temporarily) until SB gets everything working like it used to. (And please note that I'm not talking about losing association due to heat/Atmel/firmware).
I really really really really want to continue to use SB equipemt. As I said when it works you can't beat it. But until all the bugs are worked out we'd like to use something that we don't install, literally, on a wing and a prayer.
