Not seeing this on m2 or m5 nanobeams. Maybe you had bad hardware?

I've found that Nanobeams have problems with WDS. I tried 5.5.9 and maybe 5.5.10? I emailed Ubnt but it never got anywhere. Ended with putting up MT radios.Josh Luthman

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.

No. Different architecture.
Think compiled for Arm vs x86 Windows.

I thought the XM versus XW was just a hardware thing. Is it possible to update a device that is on XM with XW?

I am not 100% sure on this, but I have only been loading XM firmware with NSM, Rockets and NanoBridges. 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 know that was some discussion on this and some people said that mixing firmware was a problem, even with 5.5.10. 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.
