I have 5.5.10 running on both xm and xw and have had absolutely no ill affects. In both CPE and tower to tower backhauls with beams, bridges, and rockets. Moving from 5.5.4 and 5.5.8 to 5.5.10 I have never had an issue. Ofcourse, I always reboot prior to firmware update, then after firmware update. Cover your bases and no truckrolls shall befall you.
