I understand not having an open-ended array of channel choices for backups, but... maybe ten? 15? Just do the damn thing automatically to any available space it finds?

Then I will have to accept that I like silly and will stick with products with that feature. What good is hundreds of channels if you can only accept 3, especially if the radio is making the choice to find the best channel for you? I know that isn’t the case in noplace Kansas but in the middle of Phoenix, or as Gino is constantly pointing out, 5GHz hell, that doesn’t work well.

Because Chuck thinks it is a silly feature. The af5x can do single mhz jumps. This means the master can be in 100s of channels if you know the size.

That is really a great feature on AirOS. The three channel limit that I have to set manually on the AF5x is annoying. Most of the interface is the same, why didn’t that feature make it to the AF5x?

That said, staying with UBNT AF5x isn't that much more than the AC-PTP and is worlds better. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: "Mathew Howard" < [email protected] > To: "af" < [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2015 12:45:56 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Is anyone here doing ePTP at all? Agreed, in my limited experience it didn't seem like UBNT AC does as well with noise... and when you only have 5.8ghz to work with, finding a clean channel isn't always exactly easy. And if you don't have enough signal for 256qam, you're not really gaining a whole lot from AC anyhow. On Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 10:21 AM, Josh Luthman < [email protected] > wrote: Lot more bandwidth? I don't think so... If there is noise I'm almost certain the epmp would win. Look at my first case with them - Ubnt couldn't exceed 5 megs aggregate where epmp gets me 50+ in the same frequency and physical spot.

So I assume we'll see about half the current latency with 2.5 msec? I can live with that for most links.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it doesn't use fixed frames in ePTP mode... trying to sync that sounds like it'd end up like airmax sync. 2.5ms frames make sync a lot more useful for ptp though.

There's no reason that I'm aware of that the ePTP up\down cycles couldn't be synced. The regular sync has to deal with potentially dozens of clients.
