hi friends,

i need some valuable suggestions for setting up a p2p link for 6-8 kms with SXT Lite 5 or SXT G-2hnd. i have a pair of both the devices and i have to set up a p2p link. the issue is we couldnt fix the antenna in both the sites.

The issue is with physical mounting of the devices, or with configuration? For configuration, just open the IP in your web browser, and choose P2P bridge in Quickset.

As with mounting, look for signal level in quickset, and align the antenna until signal is good. Watch this video guide:

the issue is we cant fix an external antenna. there is a small pole and with that we can fix devices like sxts only and also for my personal clarification that might helps me for future projects.

SXT has built in antenna. If you plan to make SXT -> SXT link, what external antennas are you talking about?

i meant grid antennas. let me explain simply. i just want to sep a p2p with sxt lite over 6 kms. is it possible?

Yes, you can. And you don't need any grid antennas, just two SXT units. SXT units can link even up to 10Km if conditions are very good, without any additional equipment.

thanks for ur reply. pls reply for my another post of campus wi-fi solution

sxt lite only gave me 12 Mbps throughtput for 1.5 kms under signal -60.
i even tried with recommended config, in bridge & station bridge mode.
compare to airgrid m5 25 dbm gave me 80 Mbps throughput.

Signal is not the only variable that you must check. Please post your full config from both sides, and also registration table output from both sides. At this distance, you should be able to get around 100Mbit

For <500 m distance p2p link (clear LOS) with SXT which frequency should be used for optimal bandwidth?
Also what is the diameter for the pole on which the sxt will be mounted?

Upgrade your routeros to latest version & choose frequency= auto.

Hé Normis, what model of sxt can 10 km?

Yes, you can. And you don't need any grid antennas, just two SXT units. SXT units can link even up to 10Km if conditions are very good, without any additional equipment.

in ideal conditions, any SXT can (except possibly the SXT SA, because it has different antenna).

I have 160mbps TCp with 2xSXT lite and 1.3km so you have an problem. Airgrids are junk, I don't buy them anymore. 30-40% will not survive more than 2-3 years.

So, what do you recommend ?

hi normis
i wana crete a p2p link with sextant 5hpnd over 8.5 Klm
is it posible to get 100m tx rx trafic load ( mean browsing or downloading load a to z)
plz repply me
