Hi Andrii

Was there not a few issues with the Beta that included low speeds and scaling issues when more than a certain amount of subs were connected to the AP? I’m assuming now the stable version is out that all of those problems have been fixed in this release?

The scaling issues have not been resolved in this 5.11. They needed to release 5.11 to better support the recently released F4518 and F4616 radios. The scaling issues will hopefully be addressed in 5.11.1 or 5.12, as soon as possible.

Hi James,

We’re reviewing the reports and working closely with Eric to address the issue. Version 5.11 delivers a set of performance improvements along with new features aimed at enhancing the user experience on both 6 GHz and 5 GHz networks, and we chose not to delay the release.

Compared to 5.10.4, version 5.11 includes substantial enhancements. Overall sector capacity has increased, especially in deployments with a high number of SMs. PPS numbers have also been improved for F4625/4525 and ePMP 4600, leading to better handling of small packets and improved performance with 80/160 MHz bandwidths.

You can review the testing results here:
Major Performance Enhancements

The scenario currently under investigation involves running a throughput test to a single SM while many SMs are connected to the AP, with a relatively small amount of high-priority background traffic distributed across multiple or all SMs. In this situation, the measured throughput may not reach the sector’s maximum capacity.

This is not a regression introduced in 5.11 and was not considered a release blocker. That said, we are treating it as a high priority and expect to include additional improvements in the 5.11.1 or 5.12 release.

Thank you.

Thanks Fedor and Eric for the response, makes sense and looking forward to further improvements

Please advise when cnMaestro will have the version available ?

A post was split to a new topic: Can’t upload XW image to cnMaestro

That is not exactly how I would describe what I experience, but I will wait to see what your investigations turn up.

As usually it takes 3-4 days to pop up in cnMaestro due to acceptance tests.

5.11.0 is available on cnMaestro now.

Thanks.

Guys please, please prioritise the issue where randomly some CPEs stop replying ping on the management interface. It is driving me crazy here!! ticket 474679.

Hello @dimas_j_perez ,

we are actively working on it right now and trying to reproduce it our lab.
Thank you!

Anyone else see performance regression on 5.11 vs 5.10.1 with 4500/4525 equipment?

Upgraded AP and SM from 5.10.1 to 5.11 and cnMaestro reports around a 2-3% increase in UL retansmission %. Also, single and multiple SM Link Tests are lower by 20% on Single and 30-40% on multiple-SM.

Seems to be AP side as I installed a new SM yesterday on this 9 client AP and the SM was running 5.11 but the AP was still 5.10.1. Link test and speedtests were 320M+ (40mhz channel). After the upgrade early this morning this SM now only shows around 250-285M.

Here is an example of the degradation in UL Capacity/MCS before and after the AP upgrade. AP upgrade was 2am.

Here are stats from newly installed SM.

We upgraded a Force 4625 point-to-point link from version 5.10.4 to this new version 5.11.0, and the link’s throughput dropped from 650 Mbps to 326 Mbps. We had to revert to the previous version.

Did you happen to notice if your signals dropped during that time on 5.11 as well? There have been some reports of people seeing their RX signals on the slave side lower on some links.

I didn’t notice any decrease in the RX Signal with version 5.11.0.

The modulation was the same, but the traffic the link could handle was significantly lower, almost exactly 50% worse. It sounds like this new version introduced some problem with MU-MIMO in this scenario, perhaps.

Hello @Luis_Espinel,

I would like to further investigate your case. Could you please upgrade your link once again to version 5.11.0, perform the Wireless Link Test three times, and then download and share the tech support files on both versions with me?

Afterward, if the performance remains unsatisfactory, you may downgrade to the previous version.

We’d also like to understand what type of traffic is being carried over the link—for example, whether it’s MPLS, PPPoE, EoIP, or something else.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

I seem to be seeing similar. New AP with its first SM and with either the AP or SM or both on 5.11 I get around 200M less than if I have both SM and AP on 5.10.4 on 20s WLT.

If AP is 5.10.4 with 5.11SM things are a little better but not as good as with all on 5.10.4.

And it’s frustrating that Cambium decided to abandon compatibility, so that we can’t use our existing stable 3000APs with 4525 series SMs. Yes, I know I’ve already vented about this before, but that’s just such a mess, and it’s killing us.

All my links are updated and rock stable, performing better than ever, with the improvements to MIMO helping vastly during peak times.
No need to be melodramatic.
