Hello everyone, I have a Ubiquiti Powerbeam 5ac antenna, about 2km from my house, there is a free wifi network made available by the city. This wifi network operates on 5ghz and is detected by my antenna during scanning, however the stock software does not allow me to connect to it if it detects that the network is not from the same manufacturer (ubiquiti), it is possible with this firmware to unlock my antenna so I can connect to this network?

Yes, in theory you can use OpenWrt to connect to the wifi from the city. The Powerbeam devices are really designed as PTP or PTMP links. While Ubiquiti does have an ecosystem specific connection method, most PTP/PTMP links (throughout the industry) do not use the traditional 802.11 standards that are used for a normal AP for direct client connections even though they use the same physical radio hardware (they are designed for radio bridge applications which is very different in nature than the AP/STA mode connections).
Install 22.03, as I believe that there are issues with these devices on 23.05 where they will not properly save settings after a reboot.
