canopy@ made a good point that when you can only operate at 5.8 GHz which has only 6 channels, AP scaling is important. But although he or she is right that Ubiquiti cannot be used right now in the US at 5.4 GHz, that's just a matter of time. And 5.4 GHz can tolerate lesser spectral efficiency as it has much more spectrum and have power limits and DFS requirements that is very positive in making inter-provider interference easier to handle. > But we do need radios that stay associated though. > > Good to hear, some are reporting the new beta5 firmware is appearing to run > stable with WDS. Which might be just a breathe before another bug or impact of WDS is noticed in the field. And it's not Ubiquiti's fault, it's WDS fault. May be next time IEEE come up with a good WDS solution on the standard, but for now, it's seems a liability.
