P-Link CPE710v2.6
Does someone know if the TP-Link CPE710v2.6 will be supproted anytime in the near future?
Or should I concede that I bought the wrong version and buy a different antenna say,
  • Ubiquiti PowerBeam M2 Wireless Bridge (PBE-M2-400) or
  • MikroTik LHG HP5 Dual Chain High Power 24.5dBi 5GHz CPE Point-to-Point Integrated Antenna (RBLHG-5HPnD-US)
Thanks,

Hi, Bill:

I recommend buying a different radio.
I like my Microtik LHG [,HP]5nD series installs very much.
The recommendation now is for 5ac gear.
I am unhappy that my [LHG,SXTsq,hAP]5ac gear seems to be limited to 54 TxMbps vice 130.0 TxMbps in my 5nD gear.
I have 8 LHG[,]5nD devices in service and
9 SXTsq[,HP]5nD in service and am very pleased with their performance.
I have 2 each LBE-5AC-Gen2-US on order.
I think the LBE-5AC-Gen2 are popular in California.

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for your answer.  That is the help I needed.  I have ordered just one LBE-5AC-Gen2-US.  Thank you again.

LBE-5AC-Gen2-US
Hi, Bill:
 
I am displeased with bench tests on my pair of LBE-5AC-Gen2-US devices.
I would greatly prefer the LHG-5nD devices instead.

Any update on this?
I do not see any firmware beyond V1.  Still have a couple weeks of return window on my V2.6.

Try the very latest nightly build; I've heard that with the incorporation of the latest OpenWrt production release, the AREDN code for the 710 might actually be working.  Inquiring minds want to know laugh

Hello Orv

I was attempting to use the nightly build.  Error was "invalid version" or something to that effect.  This was using the Pharos firmware update method.  That is when I noticed that the latest firmware was V1.

Did not try the stable release nor alternate upload methods as I did not expect a different result.
