Is this common with mixing ac & n? For some reason I thought there was
backwards and forwards compatibility in 802.11.
Is it a design choice by Ubiquiti for performance reasons maybe?
I could imagine that being a quandry....you don't want to keep buying
the older stations, but maybe you can't immediately upgrade every AP
either.

series AP?
If it's a PtP link, where you can switch the roles around and make the
AC radio the AP and the Rocket M5 the client, that will work, but if
it's a PtMP scenario, the only choices are to use non-AC clients or
upgrade the AP to AC.

M5 APs can only have M5 clients, AC APs can have both AC and M series
clients... so assuming you have your model number correct the Nanobeam
M5 will work fine to a M5 AP. But the Nanobeam 5AC will not connect to
a M5 ap.

Hey all,
Can I install NBE-M5-16 <https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanobeamm/> to a
Rocket M5 AP? Or do I have to upgrade the AP as well?
Thanks
Sam
