UBNT M900 bridge

5.5.2 has been decent for me.

reply to DaDawgs
5.5.2 is much better then the 5.3.x branch in my experience...

Also there have been some reports that the beta 5.5.4 alternative data rate is helping a substantial amount in noisy environments.

ok.... A few posts I dug up.....

(Edited forgot against rules to post links from the UBNT beta forum)

reply to DaDawgs
Right, because firmware fixes "trees" and "hidden nodes". Airmax is supposed to correct hidden node issues. Firmware does not correct physics. The second thread has a comparison between 5.5.2 with no Airmax and the beta with Airmax.

Firmware cannot change physics.

Good for Ubiquiti! They are not allowing deep linking into their sites. If you don't have an account (I don't) you can't view the thread.

Those of us who remember why we came here in the days of "Kory" was that the other industry forum (whose name we do not speak ) was dominated by vendors and we wanted a forum which was vendor neutral.

I respect Ubituiti for limiting the linkage between DSLR and the Ubi forum by requiring membership in their forum.

So sorry, Newbie, but I can't read the thread unless I login and I forgot my login LONG ago. I'm not a fanboy. I'm a wireless engineer who selects the *BEST* product for my customer.

I'm hoping that Ubi is becoming that product. There have been some bumpy times but when "The Dog" tells me that he is reasonably satisfied with the current firmware, that speaks volumes. Ubi has hired some great engineers and they have some great employees. They have always tried to be responsive to their customer base and they have sometimes stumbled but they have generally been a great boon to the WISP industry.

It is a great product at a great price point... They just need to stop tripping over engineering issues, be brutally honest about marketing claims, reign in some of their fan boys and continue to march. That will make them the number one vendor in the industry.

Why are the reasons secretive and requiring of a PM Jim?

Michael-

Only the beta forums over at UBNT require a login.

If you are referring to the Alternative Algorithm for Rate Modulation I think you will see this "black magic" to be about as good as the channel hopping. Everyone is imagining great results and opinions are all over the board because it really makes no difference.

I can't say that the 5.5.4b2 firmware with alternative data rate works well for the 900 series, but I do know that it helps for 2.4 for noisy/poor links. I'm really digging it.

reply to wirelessdog

Ja, would appear so. I have a regular (not 1337) account at UBNT and cannot access those links so infer they must be beta.

I'm that bored lately that i noticed WHT user number here on the forums.

1337 = Hardcore pro @ etc a game, (but wireless in this case) in nerd slang.

[url]»ubnt.com/forum/profile.php?mode=···37[/url] is WHT

Now how lol is that!

heh... yep WHT is 1337. But for the rest of us ...

reply to SipSizzurp
To be honest, and I should be, I am not using UBNT in it's TDMA mode and I am interested in possibly using that mode in the future, hence the question. Right now today I use Mikrotiks for my bridges because they are just damn bullet proof. Never-the-less it is important to keep up with all the vendors. Last time I checked Ubnt was having issues with their inability to sync their TDMA stuff between APs on the same tower, have they fixed that?
