你想使用Baicells B42 eNb吗?What frequency on B42 LTE are you using?

wispwest

is there even any AC pci cards we could test on a routerboard?

wispwest

You too huh? I even emailed support and talked with Anton, who asked for a suppout with LTE debugging enabled, repeated emails back never got a response

for some reason I don't think these are "really" capable of B41/42/43 TDD

wispwest

I ordered a bunch of these to test out, they see my SIM cards just fine, but my TDD B41 and B42 Baicells Enb's don't even show up in the LTE scan! I've done everything I could think of.

It clearly says it supports these bands, so I'm a bit lost.

So.... whats the LHG60 PTP distance record so far? I just put one in today that is 1.6 miles! I won't know until springtime how much rain will fade it.

How about 5Ghz 802.11ax as a failover backup?

wispwest

So Mikrotik is making an "R2" (release 2?) version of the LHG-60 dish that will support up to 4,000 meter (2.5 mile)? Complete new design on dish, that allows higher gain and harder to align?

wispwest

What are the commands to set 66000 and add 66000 in the scan list on the client and AP sides?

Still need these Chris?

Mikrotik 60Ghz CLI commands
STA
/interface w60g set wlan60-1 frequency-list=58320,60480,62640,64800,66000

AP
/interface w60g set wlan60-1 frequency=66000

wispwest

Pretty annoying actually, not even the station displays ANY sort of signal, MCS rates, PHY, NOTHING all is blank, with the latest RC! How has nobody seen this yet??

wispwest

I'm be putting up a LHG-60 PTP tomorrow at ~ 1300m, will I have fade? That's about 0.85 mi or so, which in my world is across the street.

Also, upon bench testing how do I see the PHY and other stats people posted on here? I even upgraded to the latest RC (development says N/A)

I've seen max distance specs on the products and testing for WAP60 to WAP60 and LHG to LHG, but what about WAP60 to LHG 60? I assume that would cut the 1500m limit down to what, 1000m?

wispwest

现在15个月not an answer, glad I don't use these anymore, a little shocked that over a year and Mikrotik still has no response to this though!

wispwest

Does anyone know the beamwidth of these dishes, and TX power? The spec sheet doesn't really reveal any details on the RF side. I'm wondering if its also possible, depending on beamwidth, if one put 10-20 of these things in a ring around a tower, if you could actually get multiple users on each one? ...

wispwest

I have a pair of WAP-60G and have modified some reflectors to increase range up to 1-mile, is there still any distance LIMIT in the software that would prevent them from even registering if they could see each other at 1600 meters? Do I need the latest RC firmware?

wispwest

We have a LOT of B41 2.5-2.7Ghz spectrum, and would love to see Mikrotik make some Cat12 CPE's, are you also planing on making the eNb/RRU basestations to go on the the tower side? Also FCC is opening up the B41 for re-licensing very soon...

Range is useless except for just "fun" and testing around indoors or across the street. When is the WISP gear coming out? I remember seeing LAH 60Ghz models advertised almost a year ago at the Denver MUM, is there any ETA on when those will be available, or did they scrap it? Also would be...

wispwest

Thanks Tom, that's what I thinking too, but I've heard horror stories on NV2 in PtMP, so wasn't sure if that or Nstreme would be better. We normally just do simple queues on the tower router, instead of controlling the speed via WLAN interface, so I planned on changing that too... Sounds like b/g/n/...

Cambium Elevate - only potential solution.

It's obvious by now that Mikrotik has just given up on supporting wireless lol

If you need 1Gb just use a Mimosa B11 on 2x 80mhz channels, or for shorter links buy a unlicensed UBNT AF24-HD, or for SHORT SHORT links under 1.5 miles, use the Siklu 70/80Ghz backhaul and get up-to 5Gb FDD

wispwest

I always just test both and stick with the one that yields better throughput. Lately, with 802.11AC, found Nstreme performs better, and sometimes MUCH higher throughput. They say NV2 for TDMA on PtMP should handle many clients better than Nstreme, but now with AC we want more throughput so.... Also ...

You need to just have SNTP enabled and polling from a local address server

Thats about the only thing I didn't try, was enabling security on it. Too late now, as I already switched to AF5X, but I'll keep that in mind next time Nstreme doesn't link on AC!

I'd also love having a 10Ghz and 24GHz high capacity backhaul from Mikrotik!

How much bandwidth do you need to pass?

The site is pushing 50mb/s at night, and I usually like to have 2-3x the capacity. We upgraded to AirFiber5X a few days ago and got it to 170mb Down/ 30Mb Upload.

Which is the master side? I'm referring to the Airport end...

The first one in all the statements. Right now, its the NetMetal. Listed below is my previous configs with Master/Slave:

DynaDish<>NetBox
DynaDish<>DynaDish
NetMetal<>DynaDish (current)

wispwest

Also the original setup was DynaDish>Basebox, then we changed the basebox out thinking that was the problem, so after that was DynaDish>DynaDish, that didn't work. So then switched master side to Netmetal, current setup is Netmetal+RD30>DynaDish.

Well this is a tough one. I have 2 PtP links, one is 30 and the other is 40 miles. They've always been fine with NV2, however I notice I get more 'real' throughput when using Nstreme now (used to be the opposite). So I switch to Nstreme and my speedtests on laptop at the edge of the links get 70/30 ...

Testing results are in, from SXT-AC - I wish they would've made a larger version dish of this one, like the other sextants that are 19 or 22dbi. - Data rates: 580/192 - Signal -61/-67 - REAL TCP Throughput: 802.11 - 50/20 Nstreme - 104/50 NV2 - 74/38 I can push UDP 198M with NV2, but real TCP tests ...

They all said they contacted MIkrotik and it will be 8 WEEKS before the Netbox5's will start shipping, that's 2 months, great. I need upgrade some PtP's now. Only thing that's available is the SXT-AC's, which is the only item anyone has been able to get hands on.

I've noticed that too, on some links. TCP throughput is 20-30Mb with auto-TDMA. Force to 2ms, and its back up to 70-80Mb. I guess that's the cost for lower latency??

I've beta tested AC products already for 'another' manufacture ;-) and y'all need to also realize that you can also get more throughput using same 20/40 channel widths with AC compared to N.

I think that if/when they do a 802.11ac integrated product it will be with a more powerful cpu so you can get all the bandwidth it can support. And I prefer the integrated products.

Got it. Latency is a nice 2ms now, but throughput tests were 230mb UDP and now don't peak above 1890 with 170-180 average. Guess there's always a trade off.

I'm not seeing this "NV2 Latency Improvement" at all. And when I go to the NV2 tab, you can't leave it empty, and when I put 0 in for TDMA size, it turns red as invalid. Latency on my 300/300 rate link with no traffic, is 4-7ms solid. Almost seems worse. Help???

Your best bet is to just wait for Ubiquiti. I know some people beta-testing Airmax-AC products and can get up to over 700mb air rates, and over 450Mb throughput.

Your best bet is to just use 802.11ac cards with your Mikrotik, however Mikrotik is showing no interest in supporting this.

people are so worked up about how much spectrum AC hogs up. what I'm excited about, is the conservative side of it. I believe 20mhz on 802.11ac will give more throughput than 20mhz on 802.11n.

You should be worried about the 5ghz air fiber not excited as it uses two 50mzh channels to achieve those high speeds.

If your laptop at the end link had GB port then you would be fine. Its only when the setup is like GB>NV2>100mb that the through put takes a crap. Stream handles a little better.

Mikrotik really needs to solve this issue as its effecting everyone's performance that use PtP mikrotiks.

wispwest

So no release date, and it only fits the 912 which already has the card built in. What's the point? I need this for rb800 for CPU and high throughput. Would it be possible to use this card with rb912 to get 4 chains and extra throughput? I'm trying to understand the purpose..

We've been using RB800's for MAX throughput. I love the power of these RB912 boards, but only 600mhz CPU? How about a 800mhz CPU, or make a PCI card with same power so us PtP users can take FULL advantage of the high db output???
