I used two older models for several years over a 1 mile wireless bridge. The bridge unit had slowly required more frequent rebooting, so when it died I wasn't too surprised. I ordered this as a replacement, configured it at the access point site to ensure a good setup and then installed at it's permanent site and all works well. Because it is a newer model than the old bridge router there are some minor differences in configuration that the manual doesn't really address but nothing real difficult to figure out. Though it's not a plug and play configuration. I've had previous experience hacking routers to DD-WRT with some hardware mods, and then configuring those for special functions at home and work, so I'm not a novice. But I'm by no means an expert, mostly following (sometimes vague) directions of the real experts. The old configuration was two engenius eoc-2610, I just replaced one of those. One function lost was the Super-G mode of the eoc-2610, this didn't really concern me as my bottle neck for speed is the ISP, but it might be a consideration for others looking at replacements. Our TelCo's DSL ends 1 mile from me at my dad's house, since I have a clear line of sight to his house this works to bridge that gap. The local TelCo employees before we did it said it would never work, now they tell others about it. I've never experience any noticeable rain fade in the signal and other than the fairly recent need to reboot and then replace one of the eoc-2610s I've not had any problems. Considering the units have been outside 24/7 for at least 5 years I very happy with the way they work. The original access point is still in place but when initially installed cause some interference with broadcast TV antenna that it was attached to, moving it about a foot lower on the antenna mast took care of that. Since then it has worked flawlessly[.
