I've purchased about 70 of the CPQ's, and I haven't seen the kind of trouble you're having.  Had to send 1 back because something was rattling inside of it.  Tranzeo had one to me in two days (from Canada), cross-shipped, which I didn't have to ask for. 
 
I am not using the routing features, just the bridging.
 
For an inexpensive CPE that can reliably go 20 miles, people are really happy that they are so small.  I routinely get the question "That's it? That's all it is?" ...referring to the small size of them (even the 19db antennas).
 
I wish they had a telnet or ssh management interface.  That's a minus about them.
 
My customer base is rural/residential/small business, so you can evaluate my comments accordingly.

Subject: [WISPA] Tranzeo CPE alternative

Trying to evaluate all of my options here, and thought I would see what other CPE are out there that are comparable to Tranzeo CPQ units (802.11b, built-in router, etc).  Want to stay within that price range, but DON'T want to build a unit myself.  Not that I'm not happy with the CPQ's, but I've had a run of bad ones (to the tune of 1 in almost every 10 pack I get in here) and just not sure what's going on.  I just got word of a price increase on the CPE units also (not the CPQ's though).  
 
I'd also like to get something a little smaller in physical size than the Tranzeo's.  Not that they are bad, but would be nice if they weren't quite such an eyesore.  Again, that's not a huge issue though.
 
Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out.  I've considered Canopy, but of course, that's an entire network change.  Just not sure if I want to do that, and not sure if it would be as financially economical as Tranzeo in the long run.
