We don’t use Nanostations as APs but we have some for links between customer buildings and on grain legs shooting down to buildings that would otherwise be in the shadow under the APs. Each generation of Nanostations has its issues but M series was better than the ones before that, and AC series are better than M series.
Rarely I’ve had a flaky POE, but I assume you aren’t just using a Ubiquiti POE brick to power these, and it sounds like all the APs on this tower are afflicted with the problem, not just one? Each year we have a certain number of Nanostations fail, usually they just become stupid, like the lights are on but nobody’s home. Occasionally I find one that upon login displays some kind of message that it was unexpectedly rebooted or something. That seems to be a prelude to it going permanently stupid. Or I saw one that the CPU would ramp up to 100% CPU over the first minute or so after a reboot and it would start exhibiting packet loss and high latency. All these cases the fix was to replace the radio and throw the old one away. That’s one good thing about Nanostations, they’re like goldfish, you just flush them, not enough $$$ to worry about. If you have all the Nanostations at a tower all doing it, that’s weird.
