>Typical UBNT MIMO APs w/ Airmax did not support other 802.11a/N CPEs Version 5.1-beta (November 20, 2009) ------------------------------------ - New: 802.11 a/b/g products support
Seriously that was almost 2 years ago. >Many Mikrotik Firmwares had issues with WDS Station I've never had an issue directly. I've used 3.0 up to 4.17 with station-wds. The only issue was with nstreme - probably 2 or 3 summers ago.
