Re: [WISPA] [Ubnt_users] NS5 issues?

Quick note...  v5.3-beta5.7493 solved all our uptime reliability problems.

Prior to that, we still had links with occasional disconnects. OSPF session 
would drop because the CPE stopped passing traffic for a short period. In 
our case it was a PTMP backbone link using TDMA and Station WDS, with one AP 
and two CPE, and only 1 CPE demonstrated the problem. Because of it, we were 
hesitant to use the Rockets on critical backbones. But Rockets have been 
working beautifully for us, since the above listed upgrade. As far as I was 
concerned,  v5.3-beta5.7493 was good enough for release, I was pleased..

I'm assuming non-beta 5.3 firmware 7782  is as good or better :-)

The only thing that is still on our radar as a concern, is that on one or 
two links, embedded bandwidth test show mismatched speeds in Bi-directional 
test. For example, down only is 25mb, up only is 25 mb, but with up and down 
test the down might be 15mb and the up 2mbps. This only occurs with some 
links. MOst of the links when tested with Bi-directional tests will have the 
up/down speeds real close for example 12mb down and 12 mb up for a link with 
25mb of capacity. We are searching for the reason why some of the links, 
show disimlar updown speed in bi-directional tests. Same firmware used on 
all radios, and we have both Rockets and Nano, that show either condition.
Its hard to understand why a single direction radio test tests 25mbps up but 
only deliver 2mb up when in a bi-directional test.
Finally what we did was speed limit the radio in the fast direction, to 
reserve bandwdith for the other.

We believe this must have something to do with noise, and protocol traits 
that allow the best operating direction to gain access to radio to request 
transmission quicker and more often than the other, thus consuming the 
bandwidth.

Is anyone else noticing that?

Be aware that the xmas firmware was not compatible (at least for me) with 
radios running 5.3f7782!

Thank goodness I was was able to see both ends of the PtP shot!

What's the best source for updated documentation and explanation? This
firmware has some new checkboxes that aren't yet in their wiki (what are
AirSelect and AirControl? I assume they're shiny new proprietary stuff, but
specifics would be great)

(I'd love to rant here about how vendors need to spend a bit more time on
documentation, but I'm numb at this point, pretty much every major vendor in
my network does the same thing.)

Not in a good format, but I think everything has been hashed out on
