I am not 100% sure on this, but I have only been loading XM firmware with NSM, Rockets and NanoBridges. For anything newer, like the NanoBeams we have been using the XW firmware. I have seen pretty decent improvements on throughput in some of my rocket APs since we did these software upgrades. I

Only issue I have had with the new hardware is three cases now of Nanobeam M2s connected to RocketM2 APs. Once was too hot and performed like crap even when intentionally mis-aligned to reduce signal. The other two were both connected to a sector and when I switched the sector from 10mhz channel

With no noise, Nanobeams are just a dream. I have a link 11.2 miles with 95% airmax that are working beautifully. In another location the link is totally crap, even with a -60. The noise on the far tower just won't let it function. Note that ePMP worked very well as a replacement. Josh

I know that was some discussion on this and some people said that mixing firmware was a problem, even with 5.5.10. I hadn't seen the problem until about a week ago. Had PowerBridge talking to a Powerbeam talking to a PowerBridge which then link to a another PTP using NS5's and an AP on that
