Just a good SOP on up/down-grading. Why? Who knows, memory leaks or whatever. If it's up for more than 7 days, I reboot. On Thu, January 5, 2017 9:33 pm, Jerry Head wrote: > Why? > I did not. > > > On 1/5/2017 6:01 PM, Stuart Pierce wrote: > >> Make sure you reboot before you downgrade. >> >> >>

Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption

That's why I regulate the voltage. From as low as 19v it'll do 24v to the gear. Netonix does this as well. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Jan 5, 2017 4:31 PM, "Steve D" wrote: > Oh, that is bloody

Peak time now, looked at a couple running right about 10 watts on 24 volts. On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 4:43 PM, Mathew Howard wrote: > We had an extended power outage a couple months ago on a tower with two > AF-5x radios, and the batteries got drained down to nothing. I don't

Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption

We had an extended power outage a couple months ago on a tower with two AF-5x radios, and the batteries got drained down to nothing. I don't remember exactly what the voltage got down to before we lost contact to the tower, but I know it was well below 20v - something like 16-17, if I remember

Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption

I've measured similar power consumption... the spec sheet is definitely on the high side. I usually figure 8 watts for planning purposes, but I haven't ever seen them actually draw that much. According to ubiquiti, the input voltage is 19v to 53v now, but I don't think they are 802.3af

Re: [Ubnt_users] 2.4 throughput. gotta love being a wisp

I would advise against putting 6.0 on XM APs. As they drop subs with that version. A reboot gets them back but...yuck. On 1/5/2017 10:39 AM, Darin Steffl wrote: Just try going to 6.0 first on AP and STA and see if it improves. Also make sure you Airview scan that you're on the best channel.

Spec sheet says they'll take an input voltage between 19-29v and draw up to 12watts. Anyone able to tell me how true this is? Looking to bolt something onto a solar site, and I was under the impression the airfiber line was *power hungry*. Plus, I could have sworn they were af802.3 compliant so

We are seeing the same thing but includes 2.4 nano and some AG2's (not all and not xm or xw specific) also the 2.4 clients will work for awhile then stop passing traffic until truck roll reboot Also RM9 upgraded to 6.0 one client works fine second client will not pass traffic no matter

Re: [Ubnt_users] 2.4 throughput. gotta love being a wisp

I would also look at a spectrum scan outside the 2.4GHz band. Had problems at a few sites with really loud LTE in 2.3 & 2.65GHz bands. My units saw it at about -15 to -30. These radios do not have proper filtering. Loud out of band emissions will cause the AGC to go into overload. I fixed a

Re: [Ubnt_users] 2.4 throughput. gotta love being a wisp

I haven't tried using the ubnt speed test in years, but I always considered it to be pretty much worthless. Perhaps it's better than it used to be, I don't know. I think 10Mbps is probably pushing it a bit. With clean channels and 20mhz channels, I wouldn't think twice about selling 10 meg

Re: [Ubnt_users] 2.4 throughput. gotta love being a wisp

With the client signals and noise figure posted, I would guess that these sectors will run out of steam around 10-16 mbps. The customers with 26mbps air rate can destroy total throughput when they decide to use the Internet. Your ubnt speed tests to the better signal clients may show 30

Re: [Ubnt_users] 2.4 throughput. gotta love being a wisp

Ok - I appreciate your opinion. I did provide my bandwidth graphs - they are no where near 40-50 meg - although I am using 10 mhz channels, so i am assuming I could expect 25 meg or so. In theory, no one is goin to be maxxing out their connection. They may have 10 meg available to them but

Yesterday we started doing more testing on 6.0. We decided to test a Loco M900 upgrade here in the office before rolling out to customers. Glad we did. Upgraded first radio from 5.6.9 to 6.0. upgraded directly plugged into radio not wirelessly. Upgrade applied and the radio Bricked. No
