[Tech Ops] Which UBNT firmware version is solid?

have all units on 5.3.5 and 4.01 and all is well

Mind you I am not using Airmax at the moment

I use 5.3.5 on everything right now and its working great,

ONLY complaint is for some reason my 20mhz backhauls with rocketdishes are only pushing 40-50 meg. Even though I do not need that much, it just seems like they should be getting more...

But I was on 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 forever and worked great, 5.3.5 is the same thing with the skynet patch.

Oh yeah, and the 21+ day memory leak issue where if you make a change the device will lock up if it has an uptime of 21 days or more :-\

Biggest single thing I can tell you is that all versions before 5.3.5 or 4.0.1 have a major security flaw that will let anyone login to your device and run commands without needing a password. All other issues, features, and stability aside, I would highly recommend upgrading at least anything that has a public IP on it ASAP.

I put 5.5 onto a few devices last night to test out. so far no issues yet

reply to superdog
Im using v5.5 and v4.0.1 and all is well in middle earth.

reply to superdog
I am asking this because it seems I am starting to get a bunch of units that are flaking out?

Ubiquiti and solid do not belong in the same sentence LOL

reply to superdog
5.3.2 w/ AirMax, and 5.3.5 w/out.

Has anyone tried to use the new Deliberant gear with UBNT AP's in N mode? It looks pretty cool but I have been out of the loop for awhile and since Caleb and Hal kind of went their own ways, I don't have access to anymore "Insider" information Lol.

I have a couple more tests to do for confirmation but it looks like v5.3.5 will screw up if you use IP Alias on the CPE's. It will add another default route to the AP which can divert your traffic to a false gateway.

5.5 and the following "patches" have numerous chronic problems as reported on the UBNT website. I'm running 5.3.5 on most of my newer stuff and have had no flakey problems. I'm not worried about the virus since I do not use UNBT for public ingress.

Shame that UBNT is letting a couple of ego-freak dumbasses run their support site into the ground. Not all that surprising considering the lack of pride UBNT takes in the their product line, but still a shame.


My next order from Streak will be a Microtic radio to start learning on.

That would be Mikrotik not Microtic

If they didnt have that forum, and i didnt spend a year reading it, and especially WHT's posts, i probably wouldnt have developed my network using their products.
