so i've ordered myself some new AC wireless gear for a rework of a PtMP system i've got...

i ordered a LBE-5AC-16-120 for an AP and 6 LBE‑5AC‑23 for client access devices... well in typical supplier sketchiness, they send and bill me for the AP even though the client devices are nowhere to be found...

NO retailer has them and most places say they probably won't have them until mid-nov to mid-dec...

welllll

i've kind of got to rework this system now due to some changes in how our connections are being delivered with a new ISP...

this new system will replace a Rocket m5 and 5 loco m5 units...

since they're all 5ghz, can i just mix and match here? would be nice to put my new AP up and just use the loco m5s i have until the AC client devices come in...

otherwise i'm going to have to move the rocket (with omnis) from my main site to this one, then re-aim all of the locos, and then put another loco out at the site i took the rocket out of...
 
Is the ubiquity equipment just that good that supply just cant keep up or what?
 
in this case, i'd say yes... the performance/price/reliability of airmax stuff is insane... plus, i guess i hadn't quite realized it, but these are brand spanking new... they just came out...
 
IIRC, the m5's will need to be flipped to client mode, then you should be able to connect them up.
 
How many units are you looking for? I have some, but we have decided to go another route.
 
Baltic Networks: Affordable Wireless Solutions I got my ac pro here. Edgemax router from microcenter.com
i tried baltic, they don't have any

i actually figured this out, but i had to install beta firmware on both units.... so ver 6 on the locos, and ver 8 on the litebeam... from there i just swapped the AP to mixed mode (+) and it connected right up... been testing all night and so far, very stable... new betas supposed to be available in a couple days, too...
