Pay attention to your cable runs as well. That 5v PoE sucks, I've been using variable voltage adapters into a power injector and adjust the voltage depending on how it's acting. Sometimes, if the voltage is on the low side for the cable run, the unit will power up but act "stupid" but if I hit it with another volt or 2 it behaves.

Still poor performance. Not using Mimo mode. Using as an AP on a repeater. Having no luck connecting to it with another M unit as CPE. Think its a bad radio(s)?
