Questions on replacing older nanos/bullets with M gear

[ljenkins]

Hey guys, I was just curious about experiences from others on moving from the older legacy 2.4 nanos and bullets to newer M nano and bullets.
The reason I am asking is I have a few areas that could use some improvements to performance and range. forgive me ahead of time if these questions seem a bit noobish. I run 80% of my networks in b-mode still.

1. Do the nano's and bullet's seem to have better sensitivity? i.e (4 mile link with cpe=nano2 ap=bullet with sectoral, signal=-71) will the newer nano2M's be able to provide that -71 in exact conditions or will it be better, worse?

2. do the rates in n and g scale to each other in any way as far as range and sensitivity? (24mbps g compared to like ~40mbps n)

All I can think of right now. wanting to buy some of these soon. thanks for input.


***Edit***

I was also wanting to know if the loco M and nano M will even be in 2.4Ghz, couldnt find any info about those

***Edit...again***

actually meant 2.4 Ghz for RocketM

Bullets now have more output power, so it might offset what you were doing by selecting B-only mode.

Haven't looked at Nano output power to see how the M version compare to the previous version.

Yea, I am wanting to get away from b as quick as possible. We have been stomping the cable company here, but they are coming out with new packages before winter gets here. So I'm thinking of putting together a 10mbit/1mbit package $5 lower than their 6mbit/512kbit (of course, not possible over b).

The first sector I want to fit with new gear has about 43 customers on it.
39 of them have a -65 or better signal, the other 4 are scattered between -68 and -75. I have recently set the AP to g mode running at 24mbps (air-speed), but it still won't be enough to offer 10mbit to the home. hoping maybe that rocket or a nice nano2m will do the job(s).

Anyone got any specs on those nano's? cpu speed, flash, ...etc.

Maybe sometime next year we will all be offering 25mbit over whatever future equip is coming. awesome.

In short, yes. Upgrading your network to all M will give you MUCH better performance.

Upgrading only part of your network to the new M line will also give you better performance, but not as much as upgrading everything.

Hello,

The performance gains would be negligable.

Thanks,

The performance gains would be negligible after upgrading to *ALL* Airmax products ???

No when using M's in a mixed mode b/g/n network.

OK, had me spooked for a second.
