EnGenius EOC-2610 - Wireless access point - 802.11b/g Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a pair of the EnGenius EOC-2610's in order to wirelessly connect two buildings on our farm separated by 500 meters so both buildings could use the the same DSL access to the internet. The first unit installed easily as a workable "access point" to the LAN containing the DSL/router despite very poor documentation of how to do it and no schematics. This worked for two days and then the devices's electronics failed before I even had a chance to set up the 2nd unit of the pair for a stronger signal in the second building. I ended up replacing the first unit with the second as a simple "access point" in the main building so at least I could communicate with the second building's wireless enabled laptop.
I sent a detailed concise email to EnGenius explaining my troubles in simple non-accusatory language. They never responded. The device could not be returned to the vendor without the approval of Engenius so I never was able to get my money back before the 30 day grace period expired.
In summary my device failure rate was 50% in the first two days of operation, the instructions for a motivated non-network engineer are inadequate, and the support was nonexistent. I myself would not buy from EnGenius again.
