I have now configured several 'ac' units and none of them show the Tx Power. Obviously a bug in the software...

Just unpacked my first RB911G-5HPacD board for upgrade-config-test and prep for usage.

In winbox wireless interface "Current TxPower" window stays empty, but antenna is running and connected and therefore should have Power readings....

i will be deploying the first one this week.

how are you finding the speeds??

my deployment range is 2 Kms. what speeds should i expect?

Somehow, this doesn't feel "solved"...

I'm trying to use the MikroTik link calculator on a pair of existing QRT 5 ac units, to make sure the results agree with current reality before doing the calculations for a planned upgrade.

The configurator says the radio power is 27 (and won't let me change it). The webpage says it is anywhere from 22 to 31. The actual radio doesn't say what it's currently set to, but it also doesn't say what the software thinks it should be set to; that is, what "default" is supposed to be. The default settings for the manual and "all rates fixed" modes seem to imply that 17-19 are the most likely candidates. I have no idea of how the locked country code may be limiting my output power from what the webpage says is available.

I don't really see how anyone can do a link budget with this lack of information.
