[Ubnt_users] LOTS of excess equipment
We've been cleaning up our garage and the majority of one bay was full of pulled NanoBridges and M5 radios. We've taken them apart and boxed them as dishes, horns and mounting hardware. I think we have enough here to start a full sized WISP. We also pulled several Cambium towers so we have boxes of unused or lightly used equipment we'd like to sell. If you're interested let us know, we're primarily a AC2 network now. We'll finish the inventory so we can post numbers next week.

Re: [Ubnt_users] Well this is new
We use Visp billing and one of their features is hotspot authentication. Kind of a halfway house to pppoe with less work. Eventually we'll do the whole thing but with thousands of customers that takes time. Without hotspot (where the billing system authenticates like radius) auto-suspends don't happen and we get 50-100 payment suspends a day that we have to support manually so we're very motivated to get the whole network under radius MAC authentication and eventually full billing control from PPPoe.

[Ubnt_users] 8.5.0 problem
Did I miss a memo, I upgraded a Prism 5AC Gen2 to firmware 8.50 and the 6 radios with 6.14XM Loco and Nanobridges dropped offline and no longer worked on any UNII frequency.

[Ubnt_users] Peak CCQ drops
I'm baffled at diagnosing this one. I have a very busy tower with 14 AP's fed by two links that move about 6-700Mbs at peak hours. During those hours customers that during the day are running CCQ's in the 90's suddenly drop to 60-70% ccq and their pings go from a 30ms average up to 2000+ms only during peak usage. This seems to run across many connections to the tower. My techs have tried everything to find the problem, we run heavy duty Mikrotik routers at that tower and it's fed by a licensed 11ghz and a fiber fed AF24. The frequencies are well spaced and these are happening on Prisim AC2 radios (although in mixed mode, non-synced) as one particular customer is on an XW NB22. We checked for surrounding customer noise such as router/AP's, nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Ubnt_users] Aligning AF11
We're having some difficulty in aligning a 5.6 mile AirFiber 11 link, they won't associate. We put on a couple of rockets when we couldn't get the 11's to see each other, even with the scan it doesn't see the rocket we put on the other AF11, maybe it's the antenna being tuned to another frequency. The Rocket does see another 5Ghz AP on that tower at -89 but not the one we put on the AF11. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Ubnt_users] Response from UBNT post
Hello, Thank you for the UBNT direct response. Your email was a huge contradiction, it says it's not motivated by lawyers then goes on to say it's a "Regulatory requirement" (lawyers). You say it's not to prevent putting specific software (Cambium or otherwise) on your device" then in the next paragraph says "to prevent software which is not ours running on our devices" You go on to say "it improves airMAX system security" which means we are losing improvements to the firmware in exchange for the agreement that we never run Cambium's patch to certain towers where GPS is essential but unavailable by UBNT thus forcing us to change out radios that will sync, a promise broken repeatedly by UBNT as we were buying newer radios (titaniums and first generation Prisims, with ones that do sync today without having to change all CPE at an enormous cost. Ubiquiti is responsible for the migration away from their product with the years of misleading information about sync so now trying to make it impossible to use the firmware of our choice is a corporate decision, not a technically based one. It's ironic that UBNT was founded by being the radio chip provider managed by Mikrotik software, now they seem to have come full circle. Regards, Forbes Mercy Re: 6.0.6 isn't an upgrade, it's a legal brick <https://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-M-Beta/6-0-6-on-official-download-is-it-beta-or-release-REAL-JUNK/m-p/1988158#M26986> @WABroadband <https://community.ubnt.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/27397> Let me be very clear - this has nothing to do with preventing you from putting specific software (Cambium or otherwise) on your device, nor is it driven by lawyers in any way. Radios are also not bricked, nor are they sabotaged at all. No one is forced to upgrade and there is no modification of the user agreement here. It is a regulatory requirement to prevent software which is not ours running on our devices, and also improves airMAX system security. These same protections are implemented on other products and by other vendors. ___ Ubnt_users mailing list Ubnt_users@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/ubnt_users
[Ubnt_users] 6.0.6 isn't an upgrade, it's a legal brick
It seems that this upgrade isn't an upgrade at all. It's driven by lawyers requiring that you do an electronic signature that you agree to not use Cambium Elevate software on this device. Pretty odd since it's my radio, well past warranty so I can do what I want to it. Is this the direction UBNT is going, turn your radio into a brick if you don't modify your use agreement with them? Well Robert DID come from Apple so I guess I shouldn't be surprised about sabotaging product to force you into newer gear, guess 6.04 is the last update I'll do for my radios, sad. #patheticdirection Forbes Mercy ___ Ubnt_users mailing list Ubnt_users@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/ubnt_users
