Yep. Right now I can check, uncheck.......... All the same. Still passes through. They should default it to pass through and forget about it.

I just upgraded my units to 5.2.1. In the GUI the passthrough checkbox is unchecked even though it's passing through. I checked the box, applied, and it's still unchecked but passing through. On the forum someone told me to reset the unit, reflash the firmware, and reset it again. I'm going to do that later.

Ran an underground line of double shielded, flooded Cat5, direct bury, with ground wire. Everything grounded and working fine. His neighbor wanted service so I swapped the grid out with a Nano5M, plugged a Nano Loco into the secondary ether pointing to another nano in the neighbors window.

I can not turn off the power to the secondary power! Upgraded firmware.... Hard reset.

I used the 15V UBNT power injector that came with the Nano5M. After the install I checked the operation and all was as smooth as silk.

I watched the lights on the nano and also watched how long UBNT Discovery utility took to pick it up. Long. It looked like it was struggling to connect to the wired lan. After it came up I plugged a bullet into the secondary port and power cycled it all. Long struggle to connect to the wired lan. Sometimes Discovery would see it, sometimes not. > > So.......... Pulled out an OLD 3Com 24V 3A power injector and plugged the setup into it. Fired up FAST! Fired up every time and would not fail. Still unable to turn off the power to the secondary port so I reinstalled the unit at the customer site but with the 24V 3A power injector. It's been running almost 24 hours now and I'm able to talk to everything connected to it remotely and all pings are perfect. > > My guess...... It was under powered. It may have not had enough power to keep the secondary port powered, damaged the switching circuit and is now stuck giving power to the secondary port with no way of turning it off. Possible constant fluttering of the circuit on and off burned it out. > > With it being stuck on, it's good for now. I wouldn't mind not having an option to turn off the Poe, it can always be on as far as I'm concerned.

I was looking at network traffic with Wireshark and noticed "CDP - Cisco Discovery Protocol" (UBNT calls it "extra reporting") traffic coming from one of the NS5M's on my back haul. I had turned that off. I browsed into the unit in question and sure enough enable extra reporting was checked again! I unchecked the "enable extra reporting" box and apply the settings many times and it kept coming back checked. It was a long process to get the settings how I wanted but I finally got everything the way I wanted it, though no matter what I do the "POE passthrough" box remains unchecked even though I checked it and applied the settings many times. It is passing POE so I'm just disregarding the checkbox and hoping it's just a glitch in the UI. >> >> Long version: >> >> I took notes through this process for my own reference and to make sure I could tell the story accurately to UBNT. >> >> (Through the process below I tired various browsers to make sure the >> problem wasn't due to some fluke in one of the browsers) >> >> Using Wireshark I noticed extended reporting coming from an NS5M which is running Station WDS (one end of a back haul), firmware is 5.2.1 RC2. >> In NS5M web interface I turned off extended reporting. >> Hit "change" then "test" but after unit rebooted it wasn't showing itself to be in the test mode (and the associated count down to restore settings was not showing) and extended reporting checkbox was back on. >> Unchecked extended reporting (again) and clicked apply this time instead of test. >> Unit went off line and the BulletM2 (my point of access) on the >> NS5M's secondary port never came back up.
