You can add Thompson and Mitsubishi to the list as well.  Two of the big boys in electronics. Like UBNT with the ToughCable, sometimes your trusted supplier ****s you.

Why would they be any different?  That wouldn't make any sense and would go against every previous beta Ubiquiti has ever done.    Being in Latvia RMAs with MT are a pain in the rear and take months to get completed - usually involving sending it direct yourself or back to your distributor who batches them back to Latvia.  With Ubiquiti, being US based, you just send the device back to SJ and you get a new one.    Support?  You must have a secret number for MT support. The only way I know to get support on MT is to go to the MT forums where you'll get beat up... And heaven forbid you find a bug.....you'll get tarred and feathered. And certainly no discussion of competitors products on their forums because that would be a bad thing.   I think it speaks worlds that MT uses sometimes come over to the Ubiquiti forum to get help ---- and people help them!   Ubiquiti has phone support, a very active FRIENDLY forum. When was the last time you saw a MT firmware developer on the forum answering questions?   And finally.....the Ubiquiti router doesn't blow caps after being in service for a year. ..... Oh it wait....  That issue was never acknowledged was it?

Simple question:  What does the Ubiquiti router have over my Mikrotik?  Now what's the answer...

I have both MT and UBNT devices that have been up without missing a beat since they last had firmware upgraded 9+ months ago. Now I know UBNT will have big shoes to fill if they plan on unseating Mikrotik, but give them a couple years and I think they'll be alright. I likely won't use the first generation in production. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 4:56:10 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti ERLite-3 3-port Router I have no reason to buy them at all. They're going to be less reliable than Mikrotik (which is really really bad) and not be as good software wise. Where does this device fit? Their ad suggests it is to replace a Cisco. Ya right.
