Re: Setup and test Cube 60 Pro on short link across road

Pretty sure all Mikrotik 60ghz radios utilise some degree of beamforming. No experience of this scenario but i would certainly align correctly and test first. I wouldn't expect any reflection issues as long as the radios are properly aligned. Its a case of try it and see.

Why do you need it incorporated? just sling up a couple of lhg5's in bridge mode and run a failover script somewhere. This way if a PSU fails you still have link, thats what I do anyway.

Should ISP's  be taking some responsibility.  Some of the bigger players out there already do by banning certain known piracy sites, child porn sites  etc.  If its illegal and harming someone should it be allowed?  should IPS's just turn a blind eye and let it happen?

Hi, exact same issue here. 6.31 breaks the 433. You need to downgrade. Bad news is you will need direct access to the router to perform downgrade. Reboot the rb433 and as long as there is no traffic through the router it will stay responsive long enough to downgrade.
