Re: [WISPA] PMP100 Software Revisions
Just a head's up: we encountered some latency issues with 12.1 for VoIP. The "prioritize ACKs" used to be just a feature available on the AP (if I recall right) and now exists at both the AP and SM (moved to a different configuration screen). Whether it was available of not on the old version is irrelevant; the functionality has changed. Given that VoIP is generally UDP, the hypothesis is that there is greater queuing and TCP ACKs are being bumped up more than they used to be. The second hypothesis is that the new firmware is using up more system resources and the TCP ACKs logic is causing increased latency in general (although this has not been a measured successfully). Bottom line: prior to 12.1, we did not need to worry about disabling "prioritize ACKs" feature for people with VoIP. I am curious if others experienced this as well. I have not seen anything on their forums. But in a real world test case, disabling the feature instantly eliminated problems that suddenly appeared after an upgrade. As such, we still have part of the network on 11.2 and part on 12.1. Lastly, if you are contemplating upgrades but are not yet committed ... For installers who use their phone to interface with the PMP100 while balancing on a ladder/roof and aiming the equipment, the 11.x+ interface is much more "responsive design" which increases ease of use and will save installer time. The link status screen itself if worth the update. Pull this screen up on your Android/iPhone for two different firmware versions and your installer will be thrilled. That is reason enough to get beyond the 10.x firmware. On 3/11/2014 6:56 PM, Adam Kennedy wrote: I contacted Cambium support about this recently.

Re: [WISPA] PMP100 Software Revisions
There are so many things that can go wrong and need to be troubleshooted in a wireless network that I would never bother to try an run Canopy on multiple software versions against Cambiums recommendations. It sounds like you are already running multiple firmwares that could be causing the issues you are seeing. So sounds like you are on the right track upgrading them .I have personally not had any issues upgrading any canopy radios even up to the latest firmware. When using old stock I have upgraded from 8.x straight to 11.2 without issues. Definitely upgrade the SMs before the Aps of coarse. 8.x and 9x radios will not connect to much newer Aps.
