BTW... as I have said earlier.. the UBNT is 95% baked...and work in
progress..
Earlier in the day there was a post on the UBNT forum, claiming that a
software bug has been identified which was causing the Ap & Sm not to
pass any data....and is expected to the fixed shortly...... I would
suggest that you keep an eye out for that..

Lockups with watchdog enabled also. Doesn’t help in my case.

Hi Faisal and the list
We have also been using UBNT quite a bit lately over the last couple
of years. I’m anxious to try some of the 900 and 3.65 when the time
is right.
Nano 2 and Nano 5 have been in our arsenal for as long as they have
been out. Never had a lick of trouble with them other than a WPA
issue on the very first ones. It got fixed quickly in firmware.
Have now been using Nano 5M for some short links as well. They seem to
work well, giving great throughput, but we have had a couple that
want to lock up. Haven’t put the watchdog on yet. I think the issue
is likely with WPA- seems like that has been an issue with several
manufacturers who use that chipset. I think the UBNT forum has some
threads on that. We try to keep them on the latest firmware (and
sometimes on the beta ).
We have a PowerStation 5 link with 2 2’ dishes going 20+ miles and it
just hasn’t missed a beat. Recently lightning took out all the
Tranzeo and Deliberant on the tower and only 2 things kept on ticking:
The Canopy AP and the PowerStation 5. A lot of our old Deliberant and
Tranzeo gear is getting eaten by lightning and some of the Deliberant
boxes (the gray ones) are beginning to leak and corrode inside, so we
are switching to UBNT as that happens.
We have a long Rocket 5M link up with 2’ dishes and it works pretty
well so far. Because of the 20 mile distance, we need to increase dish
size though. Signal isn’t good enough to use Airmax.
Just put up a tower cluster of 3 Rocket 2 radios/sectors replacing
some Deliberant 2700s. So far so good, but don’t have enough users on
it yet to tell about any issues with the sector patterns.
We have never used a piece of uncertified gear! I value my license
(Amateur one) too much to get involved with illegal activities and the
FCC. They tend to go harshly on Licensees for violations even in other
services. The Latvians make great routers (we use them almost
exclusively) but I wouldn’t touch their wireless with a 10 foot pole.
There is plenty of reasonably priced great gear out there whose
manufacturers do go the extra distance to get certified.
Just my .02 from a good old Southern boy.

Hmmmm.....which models .? What version of firmware. ?
We have been using the M gear...and have not seen any lockups....
Fwiw...the also have watchdog built in for reboots...

We have been trying to use UBNT Nanos for quite a while in trailer
parks and other ¼ to ½ mile LoS links. The issues we are finding
is that the dang things just stop. The first time we have to do a
truck roll to reset the unit, or replace it, it would be cheaper
to buy a MT solution.

You might have something philosophical there Bob. Do we choose
equipment that is like us - lots of trouble and need plenty of
attention? LOL!

Does anyone have certified gear other than Motorola and Redline?
