> I just wish I could load Router OS on my Ubiquity CPE's
How do you know that you cant?
UBQTs are MIPs processors and MT has MIPs compiled OSs.
Has anyone tried?
I'd argue the opposite... I love Mikrotik Hardware, the one entity that
understands the value of making Mutli-port ethernet at the CPE, with super fast
processors.
Wonder if Ubiquiti OS will load on 433AH? or RB800?

The following is IMHO... YMMV...
Only the R5H.
Bought a lot of 5 a while back. Price looked good vs XR5.
Started testing them...
when hooked to the same ant, reported noise floor varied by 10db.
tx power, as reported by the other end of the link varied by 7db.
Units with strong tx had high error rates at higher modulations.
thought bad batch, swapped out 4 of them. 1 of the new ones was ok, other 3
as bad as ones I swapped. Returned those 3 for credit.
used the 2 I had left in CPE's. one went deaf after T-storm, (lost 20db of
sensitivity) Other still in service.
My XR5's all match on reported noise floor within 2db.
Tx power matches within 2db
I've never had any XR's bad out of the wrapper, and only 1 failed in the
field. (direct lighting strike)
MikroTik makes great router software, and has learned to make good SBC's
(routerboards) IMHO, their radio cards are 'not good'. (i'd have used another
word, but I don't want banned from the list!)
Ubiquity makes GREAT radios. And good CPE's. They can't make good software
for an AP or router if their lives depend on it...
I use routerboard with XR cards for my AP's and backhauls... I use Nano's,
Loco's, and bullets for my CPE's now.
MikroTik and Ubiquity together.
I just wish I could load Router OS on my Ubiquity CPE's

I'd love to see the same test with ubiquity XR cards....
I've had such bad luck with mikrotik's radio cards I don't use them any more
Because of the channel overlap, I've always put only one xr-2 or xr-9 per
metal enclosure.
However, I often put two xr-5 cards in the same enclosure, and separate
them by 2 channels or more, and do the same with CM9's on the 5.x bands.
