This is the single most important feature my WISP could use right now. Many of our backhauls and CPEs can see at least two APs. Doing OSPF and two radios with most of our CPEs is impractical. And many of our backhauls are at solar powered sites that cannot support more radios.
I can't tell you the number of times that we could have avoided major problems if this feature had been in place. I'll be happy to work with on this! -James Wilson RidgeComms On Jan 31, 2017 10:06 AM, "Ben Moore via Ubnt_users" <ubnt_users@wispa.org> wrote: > Let me check on this :).
