Re: LHG 60 project in Hawaii

Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou - Happy New Year 2023! It was nice to see this link in Hawaii featured on Viktors MikroTik Lounge Video on YouTube https://youtu.be/SkP1cyysCYM. Yes, the original LHG60 link is still in use! I even show it in the background of my YouTube Profile photo. https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/...

Re: R11e-LTE-US Firmware Upgrade "failed"

I purchased the 4G LTE Mini PCIe to USB Adapter, Model P2U52V06USB.

I sent a message to MikroTik-Technical Support yesterday.

Just waiting to get the instructions and files to use it.

Re: R11e-LTE-US Firmware Upgrade "failed"

Using RouterOS 6.47.9 goes as far as showing "status: downloading"

But it eventually shows "status: failure" after 10 minutes

Re: LHG 60 project in Hawaii

And then a HEAVIER remnant of Rain, left over from Hurricane LANE, came by and took down the link. Green line is the RF path of this 1473m link. Conclusion is that Light to Moderate rain will have minimal to no effect on a link of this distance (1,473m) at 58320MHz. However, somewhere between Modera...

Since updating to RouterOS 6.43.rc56 the units have been rock solid, even through the light rain bands we have been experiencing. https://scontent.fhnl1-1.fna.fbcdn.net...

Re: LHG 60 project in Hawaii

When on 6.43.rc51 I found it strange that the RSSI gets worse when you follow the TX Sector alignment cues. You would think that the RSSI would get better. When I aligned by RSSI I can get a peak RSSI of -57dB, peak signal of 100, an MCS of 8 and a PHY rate of 2.3Gbps, however, the alignment guide s...

Re: Wireless Backhaul for AP Options

I realize that this post is about a year old and you may have solved your situation.

However, I recently used a wAP-60G in AP Bridge mode to provide connectivity through 4 wAP-60G units in Station bridge mode to 4 wAP AC units.

Worked out very well.

@WirelessRudy If I take a look at the pictures I've seen so far this LHG-dish having a slightly more dense honey-grate structure then the 5 and 2,4Ghz sisters?
