airView - Warning about use with v5.5 & v5.5.2

Warning! An issue has been found that may cause permanent device failure after running airView (spectrum analyzer) in v5.5 and v5.5.2 firmware when in AP mode and airMAX enabled. This has been resolved in v5.5.4 (currently in Beta), but at this time it is not recommended to run airView on any devices using these firmwares. Please email support@ubnt.com if you experience this issue.

UniFi 2.2.5 vs 2.3.x

There have been some instability issues reported with UniFi V2.3.8; UniFi devices have been known to lock-up and stop accepting new connections. A power cycle fixes them. Until this is fixed, we recommend you run UniFi controller version 2.2.5. (Note: the UniFi-Pro requires V2.3.8 or higher). If you change the controller version, the firmware in the UniFi devices is automatically changed (upgraded or downgraded) to match.

V2.2.5
