NanoBridgeM5-25 - Bad Batch?
We have noticed a higher than normal rate of NanoBridgeM5-25 (NBM5-25) failures.
We now 100% test all NBM5-25 units before shipping
- at 100% CPU loading,
- for 1 hour, and
- at no extra cost
After reporting this to the engineering department at Ubiquiti, they asked us to return them directly to them so they can identify and rectify the problem.
We will continue to 100% test all NBM5-25 until the problem is resolved.
Note: The same problem does not seem to exist with the NanoBridgeM5-22 units we have in stock.
