That explains some of what I may be seeing

Newer firmware do lose some of the edge frequencies on certain
devices, after updating. I think it was just on Powerbeams of a
certain hardware revision. Newer models all work at the edge bands if
I recall. I think you have to activate the UNII rules for that to
happen though, but I could be wrong. For example, some of the M5
firmwares do not allow 5840, but still allow 5835. Those same models
do not allow 5735 but do allow 5840. I am not sure what the behavior
of the device is when you upgrade to those firmwares if it sits on the
edge band at the time of the update and is in AP mode, as we only use
them for CPEs. We ended up moving all of our APs off of those edge
bands after getting a large batch of CPEs that couldn't 'see' the APs.

No. I have never seen a firmware update switch an AP into 'auto'
mode. If you are not using DFS then I have no idea what would cause that.

I don't use any channels with a (DFS) after it. 37 shows on an AP but
does not seem to work with a STA. I typically use 147, 156 and 164
and do not use auto mode (never) for my APs. I'm noticing every once
in a while APs set to channels I would not have put them on or they're
in auto-mode and causing trouble. Is this caused by firmware updates
or a known firmware number? yes, no, which one?

In my experience with UBNT gear, if you are using a DFS channel
and you have not set a channel list, it will jump to a random
channel upon detection. This can cause a lot of issues with
colocated equipment. I have also found that when you are setting
three DFS channels in your list; if it jumps through all three and
gets a detection on all of them, it will still jump to a random
channel. This is it's alternative to just shutting off for an
hour. We now put all DFS APs with a channel list but make sure
that the last freq in the channel is a non-DFS channel (whichever
one would cause the least amount of disruption to colocated
devices). Then, we monitor the frequency with SNMP so that we get
a notification if it changes channels.

A STA by default will scan all frequencies if that's what you're
asking. All frequencies available to it.

i answered to quick earlier. i hadn't read back far enough to
understand your problem. I'm actually still confused some
what your problem is. A ss of your wireless tab of a radio
that your talking about would help. So your saying that on a
power beam m5 it's set to an auto channel or a channel in the
wrong range you normally use after a firmware update to 6.04.
Is that right? That doesn't make a lot of sense unless the
pbe m5 is the AP as the AP dictates the channel. that's where
I'm confused the most.

using pbe-m5-400, 6.04 at present, most of the m5 gear are
pbe. Am wondering if the update to 6.04 put any of them into
auto channel mode?

pretty sure Josh is right on. on the stations that don't
have the channels that the newer ones have update the
firmware. can't remember what version is the oldest that
accepts it, but 5.6.2 kind of rings a bell. we have 6.0.4
and I know that works. to add more channels need to
activate UNII rules under the system tab on all our m5
gear so that doesn't happen. Nanostation m5s throw me off
the most since they do some eds channels but not all so
it's easier to get lucky and work out of the box and
forget on them.

Are you saying the station's frequency is only doing the
upper channels? Depending on which m5 radio it is, you
might not have access to 5.1 or 5.4 (pre/post an FCC key...)

I suggest setting multiple frequencies on the AP
so it cycles through them.

two issues: I've got some m5 gear that seem
able to change channels
after install on their own. I've found a
couple that were in auto mode
(never allowed here) and a few more that were
in not normal channel
selections. Does this happen as a result of
firmware updates?
I've noticed on the newer radios they have a
wider range of channel
selections, but this seems weird as another
new one out of same parts
order pile won't have the same range. I'll
set the access point for
channel 37 and go over to the receive station
and it won't see it.
Cannot connect them, the station will only go
to 147.
