So as you add new equipment, what version do you use? The latest?
I understand the reasoning behind that approach. It is commonly done on
Mikrotik routers. In my experience, this approach also gets very messy
with different interfaces and fields on forms located in different
places caused by different versions. And monitoring tools often expect
certain versions. I understand the logic of "don't fix it if it is not
broken" but the alternative has its drawbacks too (cyber risks, no bug
fixes, incompatible versions, varied user interfaces, monitoring tool
issues, etc.). I prefer all devices at a uniform version so I know
issues are not caused by version differences and everything works/looks
the same. Sadly Ubiquiti has made us afraid to upgrade because of the
risk of added problems and truck rolls, although I did have very good
luck with version 5.x. I think I still prefer upgrading with some
regularity, but cautiously. :)
Is version 6.1.2 something good or is it more bugs?
Thanks,
Mark

There will always be vulnerabilities and while I'd never push someone
away from updating for security reasons, I can tell you I'm not
updating to damage my customers experience with other software bugs.

Well, two reasons. 1) I think the new version has a few interesting
features like % CPU utilization, and 2) As a cyber guy in my day job,
it seems that older versions kept around often lead to cyber
vulnerabilities in time. New versions often include security fixes now
or eventually.

Why fix what isn't broken?

I have a small all-Ubiquiti WISP with M Series devices like: Rocket
M900s, Rocket M2, PowerBeam M2, Nanostation M2, PicoStation M2,
Airgrid
M2, Bullet M2, and Nanostation M5 (none of that cool AC equipment
unfortunately). All devices are running on version 5.6.9 of Airmax.
I
used to keep up with the latest versions but when version 6 came out
I
stopped after talk on this list of various problems. Please tell me
if I
can safely upgrade to version 6.1.2 now. Should I do APs first? I am
not
worried about going back to old versions (signed or unsigned), just
want
a version that works well.
Thanks much!
