It works quite well except for infrequent dhcp no ip address issues. I am using it with both Ubuntu & Fedora with a wi-fi AP cum router in between the reliance wimax router and my laptop.. The wimax router requires power so u need some ups/inverter for use during power cuts.

Hi,
Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I ammore interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me.
What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes
- does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in
Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even.
Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won'thave to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance.
Any more experiences? I want to try it.
