Actually, that’s a great question. More specifically, other than the fact that the AF-5X can go to 512 or 1024Q, can’t remember which, which one has better filtering and adjacent spectrum interference rejection.

With that said, I've been using the AF-5X radios for my PTP links. Besides price, what advantage, if any, does the R5AC‑PRISM have over the AF-5X?

They did not support all frequencies and came with plastic case. Never owned one. Lack of frequencies made them less than useful. I have about 80 of these: https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/rocket5ac-prism/ They support all frequencies (if you have the magic code and load 8.x on them ). They ROCK. Cannot emphasize enough how good they have been for our network. My advice, take those early PTP models (even if you upgraded the software) and ebay them. Buy the real deal. Model is: I paid about $225 each for mine. YMMV, On Fri, 23 Dec 2016 09:35:11 -0800, Kees H wrote > UBNT sold them to as as having Airprism. The picture is of the box the radio > came in.
