If the Bullet 5M is in station mode then you won't have the AirMax option, only if it's in AP mode. So, if you are not in AP mode on the 5M then AirMax isn't an issue. Have you tried setting the 5M as the AP the NS5 as the client? That's if you are doing this on the bench.. :) Make sure yo

AirMAX is controlled at the AP end only. The client defaults to non-AirMAX unless it detects an AirMAX AP. Your posted link is about CSMA, not TDMA. George -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of RickG Sent: Thursday, December

In the Advanced tab you'll see "Enable AirMax". If it's not checked then it's off. If it's on, you won't even see the SSID of the newer units from the old, at least I haven't been able to. But I've been connecting my older NS5's to the newer stuff with no problem but I've only been using 20mhz ch

I'm confused. Will it connect to a AirGrid 5 or maybe a NanoStation 5M? The older Bullet 5 will connect to them but AirMax has to be turned off because the older equipment doesn't support TDMA. Sucks. I heard that the older "could" run TDMA but it's too much for them to be stable. At least that
