Thanks...I think I'll do just that. I'll probably upgrade an existing
AP-1000 running base (one interface PtP backhaul, the other PtMP) to
flashrom (two interfaces running PtMP and one PtP backhaul), and later
upgrade the PtP interface from 2.4GHz to ~5GHz, to accommodate more
throughput. I could also see a use for yet another flashrom to run a 5GHz
PtMP AP,at the same WIPOP , to offer a business-grade/power-user service
level going forward. Any chance we could see a 900MHz radio version in the
future for those hard-to-reach places?
