Re: April 2015 UBNT Survey - What Works and What Doesn't

I agree that basic routing and monitoring features are necessary in the CPE, but don't over do it it.thouthough.

Why drink Starbuck$ when 7-11 will get you by 90% of the time.

I like the rooftop radio being the router because it means we have better monitoring capability for providing customer support.

Moving the router/management functions inside the PoE module gives you even more monitoring capability.

The radio-only outdoor unit sends a compact status packet to the indoor router at regular intervals. If the radio was facing too much interference, or got damaged in a storm, the router could show a diagnostic webpage to the customer PC with previous N status packets.

When they call you, you just ask them for the details on that page.
