Install the latest firmware and see if you have the same problem.  I have seen 
it with beta software but not with released versions.

Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] M5 Rocket XM to XW issue


We have had some quirky issues similar to what you are explaining.  It seems to 
have happened on both xw and xm radios.  We use pppoe as a form of 
authentication in the cpe and the client radio will stay connected to the ap 
but they stop passing traffic and drop their pppoe connection.  I still haven't 
found a real good solution, but luckily its 2 small sites and i threw ping 
watchdog on the rocket ap to a client pppoe ip address and made that customer 
aware of it so they don't unplug during a storm for example.  Not a great 
solution but its definitely better than hopping on every time to reboot the ap.

I have a M5 rocket on a AMO-5G13 omni that was running XM 5.6.4 and was
running great. It just started to disconnect randomly and need a hard
reboot to reconnect the client radios (Powerbeam-M5-400). A simple power
cycle was all that was needed to get fully operational again. Happened
twice this month, so I thought it needed updated. Since it was an older
M5 I replaced it this weekend with a new M5, XW version 5.6.4.

Also, I read on a UBNT forum about running the new XW CPE's on XW AP's as
they worked better, but that is not what I am seeing. So now the AP and
all the CPE's (Powerbeam-M5-400) are on the XW version 5.64 and I am
seeing terrible signals only on my CPE's that are near the tower. The
CPE's farther away are fine, but anything less than a mile is showing
signals in the 80's and previously they were in the low 60's to 50's.
Some CPE's have perfect line of sight too.

Not sure what is causing it and hope somebody knows. At this point I'm
ready to deal with the reboots and put the old XM radio back up! Hope
somebody has a fix and I was thinking of firmware, but scared to change
too much until I troubleshoot more as I read horror stories on all the
firmware changes.

Thanks,

Troy
