The Cambium router solution just doesn't cut it. They should look at the Calix 844e and 804 and cloudcore. It is leaps and bounds ahead of anything Cambium is putting out for a soho router solution.
Ryan,
We've been looking into Calix as a replacement, but cannot yet justify the cost [and that is saying something with how high the Cambium costs are compared to most competitors]. Have you found any other solutions?
It is not really appropriate to discuss "competition" here, but in this case, the R-Series routers cannot perform up to the quality and capacity of the ePMP radios in my experience. I consider this a discussion of what is necessary to get the full performance of ePMP rather than what is alternative to R-Series routers.
