How can someone have trouble setting up?

I will first explain that I am a network infrastructure architect. I design, configure and deploy networking solutions (wired and wireless) every day for almost 20 years. I've recently started installing them for our company in remote locations (oil and gas industry). I used to order individual items, spend a day or two setting up IPs, SSIDs, VLANs, and security, and deploy them in a lab or controlled environment, test them, and finally move on to the field deployment phase. From start to finish, it will take a week or more to go from proof of concept to final installation. Cambium ePMP Force 180 is coming Steps: 1. Open the box 2. Install the first device3. Installing a second device How difficult is it? There is no need to climb into the device to "change settings". It's already using the equivalent of Suite B encryption, the power is set to maximum, and the SSID is hidden. Think of it as a "wireless" cable with the reach of a single-mode fiber. In fact, the installation is so easy that today (September 12, 2020) I installed 3 kits in 1.5 hours. No additional setup, no experience required, no hassle. I just can't understand the low ratings for them. If you want high quality devices with very easy installation and don't have to or want to pay thousands of dollars for professional installation services (for poor quality products), just get the Cambium ePMP Force 180.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
