I’m not sure what the problem may be, but in superchannel with XR5 I can only get normal 5Ghz freqs to associate. Anything in the 547-5725 range doesn’t associate. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Scott
XR5 is filtered only to work well in the 5725-5850 band.

Mike and Robert seem to have differing opinions. I tend to believe Mike, as his comments are in line with what I’ve seen. Performance outside the standard US bands on XR5 has been absymal.
Actually since my original post I figured it out. The XR5 works great all all 5Ghz freqs I can attest to because I tested it today. The reason it would never assiciate was related to the scan list contents. You have to manually modify the scan list in order for superchannel wireless links to asociate on any channel other than the normal non-superchannel available freqs.
To save others from searching, you put this in the scan list box under wireless/advanced window:
default,5490-5710
for instance to add the 5490-5710 range to the other defalut freqs it already uses in 5Ghz
Works perfect.

I don’t believe that is quite correct, it does operate in the lower 5ghz bands fine too. What they were talking about is operating ABOVE the standard 5.8ghz band. They also mention that the XR5 has better filtering once you leave the standard 5ghz ranges where the SR5 will run better out of “spec”.
I’ve got XR 5 operating at 5,600Mhz, it’s true what CarulloS said that the scan list has to be entered manually (smaller ranger) on the station side, or else it wouldn’t connect at all (or at least takes long time to associate).
However I’ve used 28v 2.5A adaptors when using XR5, i find it’s performing better than using standard 18v 1A adaptors.
