Sorry,

That should have read:
This AP originally had 6 SM's connected at 5690

Subject: [AFMUG] Client can't connect since UBNT 5.6.2 Firmware upgrade

Hi,


I recently updated a UBNT Rocket M5 to 5.6.2 from 5.5.4. Since this update, one 
of the clients will not connect.

This AP originally had 6 SM's connected at 5490.  After the upgrade from 5.5.4 
to 5.6.2, 2 of the SM's didn't come back.  These 2 were not at the best signal 
(-86 and -89).  If I swapped frequencies to 5740 the 1 connected at -86 popped 
back up at an -88 and the other SM's are ~-2 db.  But still no sign of the one 
that was at -89.

This led me to believe UBNT probably lowered the output power for DFS 
frequencies somewhere between 5.5.4 and 5.6.2...

One would think that downgrading the SM's and AP back down to 5.5.4 would put 
things back the way they were but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I even sent a tech onsite to swap out the unreachable SM with one that had 
5.5.4 on it.  He said the one with 5.5.4 and the one with 5.6.2 both see the AP 
at -89 under "Site survey" but won't register to the AP.

I'm at a loss here... Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try, or a 
magic firmware version (folks on the UBNT forums say 5.5.4 is best for DFS 
frequencies) that might make this AP act the way it did prior to upgrading to 
5.6.2?
I've already tried every other 5 Ghz Frequency available (with a mix of 
different country codes), most with worse results.

Thanks,
Justin
