I think more annoying is you can have 2 radios with the same identical P/N, you upgrade them both to new FW, and they end up with different capabilities. You almost need to upgrade all your radios on the shelf every time new FW comes out and test to see what bands are available, and what EIRP they are limited to.
And I’m starting to wonder, if we have radios we bought that are sitting here in the box waiting for lower bands (U-NII-1 or DFS) to be unlocked, and that never happens, will we be able to return them? #Unbiquiti From: Mathew Howard Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2015 10:34 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] UBNT status re: 5150-5250 Yeah... and I seem to remember them assuring us that we wouldn't have to resticker again...

I've used it a few times to convert towers from UBNT to ePMP. I can dig up the commands if you want to know how to do it.

It sucks since I want to replace some single pol Mikrotik APs with dual pol, it would be preferred to jump to dual pol Wifi with epmp and then when all the CPEs are moved, go from Wifi to TDD.

I've searched the UBNT Forums and can't find anything other than SOON. Ignoring AC series and just focusing on M5, last I heard the products capable of operating in 5150-5250 (without buying bootleg INTL versions) were Rocket, NS, NS Loco, and NanoBridge. With the NanoBridge being a legacy product being kept around until the NanoBeams were approved. And I'm not sure they are still on the shelf anywhere. Have they even filed the lab report on the M5 NanoBeams, much less provided license keys, stickers, and firmware? I think the Powerbeam AC and maybe Nanobeam AC were a little farther along, with approval and licenses/stickers but no firmware yet, perhaps because they want to also get DFS in there, perhaps because they are resubmitting to the lab to get higher EIRP under the new rules? Is there any hope for a NanoBeam that will talk to a Rocket M5 in U-NII-1? I mean seriously, are we going to have to start taking down Rocket APs and replacing with ePMP? Having Rockets or Nanostations as the only CPE choices is just not viable. Is UBNT just focusing on AC now? They don't talk to M series though, do they? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
