I just upgraded the AP to 5.6.9 and signals did not change. Very odd that CPE'S were good before AP radio change. I am wondering if cable, jumpers, or radio is bad as I put up a RF elements horn to test on an area of this tower with 10 feet separation as well as different channels. It has a XW M5 rocket and I was able to transfer a CPE with a signal of 83 from the omni to a signal of 60 on the horn. Previously that same CPE radio on old AP radio for the omni had this 60 signal range. It dropped on the new XW radio. Everything looked good at time of replacement on the omni, but something changed! Thank you, Troy

It seems to have happened on both xw and xm radios. We use pppoe as a form of authentication in the cpe and the client radio will stay connected to the ap but they stop passing traffic and drop their pppoe connection. I still haven't found a real good solution, but luckily its 2 small sites and i threw ping watchdog on the rocket ap to a client pppoe ip address and made that customer aware of it so they don't unplug during a storm for example. Not a great solution but its definitely better than hopping on every time to reboot the ap. --------- Original Message --------- Subject: [Ubnt_users] M5 Rocket XM to XW issue From: t...@byhalia.net Date: 9/26/16 8:36 am To: ubnt_users@wispa.org I have a M5 rocket on a AMO-5G13 omni that was running XM 5.6.4 and was running great. It just started to disconnect randomly and need a hard reboot to reconnect the client radios (Powerbeam-M5-400). A simple power cycle was all that was needed to get fully operational again. Happened twice this month, so I thought it needed updated. Since it was an older M5 I replaced it this weekend with a new M5, XW version 5.6.4. Also, I read on a UBNT forum about running the new XW CPE's on XW AP's as they worked better, but that is not what I am seeing. So now the AP and all the CPE's (Powerbeam-M5-400) are on the XW version 5.64 and I am seeing terrible signals only on my CPE's that are near the tower. The CPE's farther away are fine, but anything less than a mile is showing signals in the 80's and previously they were in the low 60's to 50's. Some CPE's have perfect line of sight too. Not sure what is causing it and hope somebody knows. At this point I'm ready to deal with the reboots and put the old XM radio back up! Hope somebody has a fix and I was thinking of firmware, but scared to change too much until I troubleshoot more as I read horror stories on all the firmware changes.
