Today it’s time to test another Cambium baby from the WiFi6 series. I fell for the 3rd and probably the last time - it will be a VERY LONG BREAK FROM SHOPPING!
XV2-21X - outdoor setting enabled (so system will use channels 100 upwards) - DON’T WORK, channels 100 above are not implemented.
Let me remind you that it was the same with xv2-2 !!!
You are repeating mistakes from over 2 years ago!!
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TESTING THERE? HOW LONG WILL PRODUCTS UNTESTED AND WITH SUCH DEFAULTS BE ON SALE?
Thank God I couldn’t get a tender for a hotel where I was supposed to use xv2-21X and xv2-22H!!!
I would burn with shame in front of a client.
What breaks me down is the repair of these errors, which for other producers takes a few to several days, for you it takes months.
I’m afraid to test the NSE3000 because there will probably be the same problems.
Im having major issues with the XV2-2T0/2T1 and the 21X. I have a current deployment at the commercial business that no client devices can connect or stay connected and the devices that do connect to the AP’s just bounce back and forth between the 2.4 and 5 ghz channels. It as if AP’s are kicking devices off just for fun. I set up a single AP in my LAB to test with no interference and the problem is so bad, I have to keep plugging my Mikrotik AP back in, just to get to the internet to complain about this. I have deployment of about 15 AP’s that now i am getting ready to tear it all down and accept the loss of this job.
Exactly the same thing happened when I bought the xv2-2 about 2 years ago. Identical symptoms. From this it follows that the new soft is written based on some archaic versions of the repository and old errors are repeated.
This is so sad
Channel 100 and above are available as per country regulations. Channel 100 will be available for FCC and ETSI regulatory after getting DFS certification for these devices.
Is it such a new habit at Cambium to release a product that does not match the entry in the pdf file?
Without certification?
So we buy a car on 3 wheels, but the documentation says it has 4
Well done!
As per my knowledge, we have added support in the 6.2 release, Please verify with the latest image(6.5.1-r11) and channels 100-140 should be available in XV2-2.
Note: FCC, IC, EU DFS channels not supported in first release
→ such a sentence is included in the pdf.
And now a curiosity.
According to the support page, the first release was October 22, 2022. It’s February 2023. When will the “first release” end after a year?
Please find the DFS channel status as requested with 6.5.1-r11. We will add support DFS channel in the upcoming release after getting the certification
For example, you send information to Hamina about the ranges with the ability to use DFS channels in the ESTI region. I’m doing a project, and then a surprise - “We’ll turn it on when we get the certificate”.
So we don’t know when
Good news
Sometimes you have to make the difficult decision to postpone the release of a product when it is unusable.
Unfortunately, the word DEADLINE ruins such activities in any corporation.
The consequence of this action are such duds as xv2-21 and xv2-22.
And they do is EOL other products to force you to get the new APs, and they won’t work in harmony with others then. This connect disconnect is bugging me also. The AP blocks clients in e400 and this xv2 21x has very low power compared to 400 . And making all kinds of messes .
It goes to zero config IP . Which then goes offline. Cuts off the clients and we keep connecting back but sometimes after ,4-5 tried attempts you’ll get to the mount peak… but other times it limits the speeds if connected . And then even with the auto rf off roaming off. Multiple things off it won’t work fine.
Plus the support is awesome. Email them . A line sentence and wait for the answer until two days.
Used many companies I found rujiee reye their support is good. But devices lacks a lot.
Mikrotik all in all a thesaurus after that ros 7 update it won’t work properly on a bridge mode.
I took everything just for cambium to remain active . Tried new settings. Septated the AP.
These are overly engineered capable devices but every brand has limitations. It’s not our fault but they won’t even have a look try ruijee support. You don’t want the help but they’ll do it for you and here. Onboard then same types groups then control plane is the cloud managed, devices hides themselves.
I really hope they’ll do everything in their domain to better understand the customer needs and wants, then their design is robust their Conn is great. So it should be in their bandwidth to get to a solution.
And the part I hated the most is still EOL products no suport had they ever given any suport , it’s just your going with the flow.
Plus country codes issues alo. Some has paki others don’t. The cloud has paki since ages. Internet has time zone since ages. But xv2 gets a zone while other is EOL. Errors or no errors change them then they’ll be able to help .
and here. Onboard then same types groups then control plane is the cloud managed, devices hides themselves.
