Quick turnaround on the unlock codes. This thread reminded me that I
still needed a code for AC Powerbeams. I filled out the form and they
arrived four days later (including the weekend).

Well frustrating day. We moved channels on ptp while using
another radio to run airview and site survey. Moved to 5190 and
the other wisp moved to 5180....Us at 20 and him at 40Mhz...moved
to 5275...10 minutes later he moved to 5265...so I configured our
scanner radio to 8Mhz and parked it on his center channel. He
moved to 5200 and we got speeds back up. Links are close to each
other and parallel paths.

Max Tx power is only 18 or 19 at 64QAM 5/6 on a "M" series
802.11n 2x2 ubnt radio anyhow... So it's not a terribly
disaster for PTP links.
I believe they are only +23 when operating in QPSK.

Yes, once you activate the revised UNII rules, it
it will lower the EIRP in UNII-3, however just
upgrading the firmware won't change anything
(until you enter the key) and you can use the key
again to get the higher Tx Power back (and disable
UNII-1/2)... of course if you lose the link when
the power drops, that won't help you... if a link
is questionable, I would just try lowering the tx
power using test mode to see what happens before
you do anything.

Hi Guys,
There are actually two sets of "DFS" unlocks.
The older unlock is from a few years ago to
unlock DFS on RM5/NanoBridge/NanoStation.
Those keys will not unlock PowerBeam/NanoBeam
or AC products.
NanoBeam/PowerBeamM units will require 5.6.3 +
unlock codes generated in the last few months
(June 2015).
AC products can be unlocked as well, but this
is currently only available on 7.2/8.0 beta
firmware. R5AC-PTP and PTMP models are limited
to bands above 5470MHz due to airPrism
filtering. The R5-AC-PRISM will have full
U-NII band support.
If you need new codes/stickers for
PowerBeamM/NanoBeamM or AC products, you can
request them here:
https://www.ubnt.com/fcclabelrequest/
Please feel free to email me directly if you
have any questions.

You just need to
upgrade the

and enter the
unlock key - which
you do need to
request from UBNT.

I don’t give a

install,
upgrade to
latest
released
firmware if
necessary, and
operate it in
the 5150-5250
band. That’s
all that

me. Anything

a radio I can

with an

install off a

we installed 8
months ago.
When I go to
the grocery

2% milk, they
don’t tell me
the farmer has
bought a cow,
they either
have 2% milk

or they
don’t. Status

milking of the
cow don’t give
me something
to pour on my
