-89 is not a "usable" power level IMO.

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
