We tried using the Bullet5 in a pinch and it choked with about 150 users. I think there is a limitation on ARP entries but I did not have time to confirm.
Replaced with Tranzeos and it's been solid since. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 7:24 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] UBNT PowerBridgeM5 270 customers will squash Ubiquiti if you put that kind of weight on its shoulders. I strongly advise against a "higher end" backhaul. I love MikroTik but at 270 customers, that is kind of iffy in my opinion. I'd probably do it based on the fact that they always work for me and their price point, though. I don't really know what the next step up is, though.
