Maybe it should let you lock out ranges rather than channels. Like X MHz to Y MHz. If any part of the channel would fall in that range, auto could not select it. Similar to how you would lock out the TDWR band, not by channel, but start and end frequency.

Then I will have to accept that I like silly and will stick with products with that feature. What good is hundreds of channels if you can only accept 3, especially if the radio is making the choice to find the best channel for you? I know that isn’t the case in noplace Kansas but in the middle of Phoenix, or as Gino is constantly pointing out, 5GHz hell, that doesn’t work well.

That is really a great feature on AirOS. The three channel limit that I have to set manually on the AF5x is annoying. Most of the interface is the same, why didn’t that feature make it to the AF5x?

Agreed, in my limited experience it didn't seem like UBNT AC does as well with noise... and when you only have 5.8ghz to work with, finding a clean channel isn't always exactly easy. And if you don't have enough signal for 256qam, you're not really gaining a whole lot from AC anyhow.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it doesn't use fixed frames in ePTP mode... trying to sync that sounds like it'd end up like airmax sync. 2.5ms frames make sync a lot more useful for ptp though.
