Hi All,
I checked the supported hardware matrix and decided to buy a pair of Ubiquiti Litebeam 5 (LBE-M5-23-US) since the matrix showed the hardware was supported (light green). But when I checked available firmware, I see that ath71 based hardware is only supported till 3.22.12. Going over OpenWRT forums, what I understand is that while ath71 targets can be ported to the latest OpenWRT (and Aredn) firmware but it requires work and that hasn't happened.
Long story short, should I return the Litebeam-5 radios? Are other people still using them? If yes, are you planning to replace them soon?

On the other hand, the LiteBeam AC5 Gen2 is a GREAT little device. Lots of gain, newer technology at a reasonable price.
Hope this helps.
