Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Odd noise floor problem

This is purely anecdotal, but I have noticed declined performance on M2 
(specifically, Rocket M2s in my case) where noise floor seems higher, CCQ seems 
lower and customers report decreased download, but upload is fine for them ( we 
offer 8 Mbps upload and they can almost always get it). All our radios are on 
5.6.9 or 6.0, both versions seem to have this issue. I had been chalking it up 
to increased interference because we've not had an A/B comparison like you've 
described (replacing the one with the other), but perhaps it's more than that. 
I'm getting ready to swap one of the M2s with a Rocket 2AC in mixed mode to see 
if things are any better.

Greetings,



In several locations, I've replaced Mikrotik AP units with BulletM2

units; to enable AirMAX.



This went quite well early in 2016 and the strategy was successful in

improving performance at several locations, thanks to enabling TDMA.



We converted several sites in early 2017, and almost all of them have

been exhibiting symptoms of very poor performance, and awful noise floors.



So for example, we would replace an RB433+XR2 with an BulletM2, using

the same cables and antenna. The XR2 would be reporting a noise floor in

the 'normal' range for us (around -95 to -100dBm). Then the replacement

bullet would suddenly be reporting noise floors of -80dBm to -85dBm!

Performance suffered along with the severe drop in SNR.



Is this possibly a bad batch of radios or something along those lines? I

bought them all from the same vendor at the same time.



All units, both AP and SM, are running AirOS 5.6.9.



Thoughts?
