As you can see from my reasons NOT to go CB3, I am not Pro Smartbridge for an AP, but I do find it amazing that a WISP or ISP of any kind would rely on a device that can only do Web Interface control. Maybe I am too big to believe that an AP at least must have two paths for management (i.e. ethernet counts as one, terminal connection (serial) being the other; I don't count RF since I am a bit too far away from most towers to get to them quickly)....
Additionally, what external antenna's have been FCC certified for the CB3?
