ePMP CPE using wifi mode with 10mhz

Is anyone doing this, and is it working well? We just tried today to connect to an UBNT rocket in 10Mhz 2.4Ghz. It connected, but speeds were absoulutely trash. No upload at all, and pretty slow download. Using a nanostation we over doubled throughput.

Is this normal for people who are trying to migrate using the wifi mode on the stattion with UBNT APs???

I'll be migrating to Cambium from UBNT starting tomorrow but on 5ghz. I'll try this out and report my results.

we've done a few hundred this way,   the performance as a whole seemed a little less than UBNT, but its a migration path to get changed over.   once TDD is active, its so, so so much faster than UBNT. at least it has been for us.  

towers we had only seen 30 to 50 mb draw at peak with 4 ubnt 2.4 APs with 60 subs between them are pushing well past 100 meg at night now with room to spare.

That's the problem with UBNT 2.4, you couldn't operate two of them close together with any amount of conducted power without interfering with the other radio, even if they were separated on channels 1 and 11!

with the shields, it was better, but wasn't near as good as just one.     the gps in the epmp really shines in this reguard.

After a short side by side test. Speeds were way down compared to an UBNT radio. That is very concerning since it is already slow. As a migration path, its great. But if it's that slow, it might be better for us to build extra sites and just start moving people as we change their radios. IDK... Were you guys using 10Mhz as well??
