HI guys,

I want to ask you what is better for my situation, because i am alittle confused. What is the main difference of Engenius ECB-9500 and ECB 3500?
Actualy i already ordered the ECB9500(but i can return it).
What i want is to use my Engenius to connect to another WiFi network, wich is not very close.
My friend has a ECB 3500. But he told me that the 9500 is more new, and support new futures, BUT i don't know about the power. THE old 3500 has 600mw-2w. power. And the new 9500 i have no idea what is good for.

Thanks in advance

EnGenius ECB3500 is a high-powered 802.11 Super G long range WiFi device that was designed to offer consistently robust communication over wide areas and long distances.

The EnGenius ECB3500 provides strong, uninterrupted coverage up to 108 Mbps over a wide area using high 600mW of wireless output power. It operates at the 2.4 GHz frequencies in both the 802.11 b/g (11/ 54 Mbps) or Super G (108 Mbps) wireless standards.

EnGenius ECB9500 uses new advances in wireless technology. Using the 802.11n standard, the ECB9500 is capable of delivering wireless transmissions up to 300Mbps (6x faster than 802.11g.). And, its high-gain detachable antennas use MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) technology and 5dbi antennas in order to optimize traffic performance and transmit wireless power up to 300 mW EIRP. This enables the ECB9500 to reach a wider range than the average comparable product.

so ECB9500 is superior than ECB3500 in tech.
but now most people buy ESR-9752 ruter for home or office.
coz ist meet the needs of today.

The ecb3500 has 600mW and is a long range device

Keenan Systems Wireless Store Featuring Engenius

You can put it into client bridge mode to connect to a remote AP. It can go much farther then the ecb-9500 even miles with the right antenna.

The ecb-9500 has only 79mW because it is a 802.11n device.

It can connect to a 802.11n network at high speeds but has much shorter range.
