Check your cabling. Biggest reason we have found for random reboots. Rory

The only issues I've seen with NanoBeams have been a random reboot thing I've been trying to figure out... I was wondering if it might be related to the WDS thing, but I'm pretty sure it's just bad radios in this case.

Now that I think about it, I had the Powerbeam as the station and the PowerBridge as the AP. Dang, should have flipped that and retested. The thing that caught me off guard is that this has been working for several months, no issues. It just randomly went weird.

For anything newer, like the NanoBeams we have been using the XW firmware. I have seen pretty decent improvements on throughput in some of my rocket APs since we did these software upgrades. I don't have any PowerBridges in service anymore, so I can't speak for those.

I hadn’t seen the problem until about a week ago. Had PowerBridge talking to a Powerbeam talking to a PowerBridge which then link to a another PTP using NS5’s and an AP on that end. It seemed to work great for several months. A week ago, the AP at the end started pushing through 10-20 pings and then dropping 3 pings. After finding nothing, we pull the PowerBridge and replaced it with a PowerBeam. Problem solved. On the other hand, we have a boatload of NS5M’s, some with XW firmware connected to XM Rockets. No problems so far. Rory
