Can you get the advanced atheros features in MT to work with the
WLM54G? Things like the 5/10Mhz channels and VAP? They are there on
the the CM9, but not supported on the older atheros 5212 cards.

I would say that it depends on the application. The CM9 and the R52
use different generation of Atheros chipset. The main difference
between the 2 chipsets is the newer chipset requires slightly less
power to run and if you are running the card in 10MHz or 5MHz modes it
will only listern to that 10MHz or 5MHz whilst the older CM9 chipset
will still listen to the whole 20MHz.
If you are looking to replace a 200mw 2.4 card then both the CM9 and
the R52 may leave some of your clients with a weak signal so the
Atheros based 200mw cards would be the way to go. If you aren’t
looking to use 10MHz or 5mhz then the CM9 is still a great choice
however there are a couple of other next generation Atheros based
cards out there.

I am looking to replace my current APs and have decided to move to
Mikrotik but am not sure of the best choice for a radio. The ones I am
contemplating are the CM-9, R52, or the WLM54G. I currently use CM-9’s
in 5.8 for my backhauls and so far have been satisfied. My current AP
radios are 200mW Prism radios (2.4), so I was considering the WLM54G
as a replacement. The concern with them is a lot of resellers are out
of stock, plus I have heard a few people say they have had performance
issues with them. Lastly I have seen the R52, seems similar to the
CM-9. The only issue I have with it so far is there is no US
distributor I have found. Might not be a great issue except for
shipping and RMA’s.
