Re: LHG 5 awful tx signal

can't you leave it like this? you don't need signal TO the cameras, it's just a few kbit of data anyway. you need good RX signal, and you have that.
that said, you should downgrade to 6.48 for example and see if tx power will increase.

Re: LHG 5 awful tx signal

wait, you have only 1 lhg acting as AP? or each camera has it's own lhg in station mode so you have 1 LHG AP and 2 x LHG clients?

Re: WiFi Speed is low

the problem is you're using omni antennas to make a ptp bridge Indeed one of the potential problems,(using 40 MHz in 2.4GHz band is another), that cannot be seen from the config used, but is dependent on the RF spectrum in the environment. So besides the config, one should at least look at the regi...

Re: CPE with two Metal 5SHPn (data rate?)

that's about the correct speed you're getting for such a setup.
it's a bad setup anyway, why using omni for ptp link? and why using metal in 2024. year?
get rid of those and get a pair of sxt 5 lite (for 100mbit speed) , sxtsq5ac for ~200mbit speed, or wireless wire for gigabit.

Re: Hex S Hotspot with Non-Mikrotik APs

every AP can have it's ssid tunneled thru a vlan. if you don't know which vlan it is - then your wifi doesn't work, as there's no "exit" on the other side. your dhcp gives IP to the unifi ap itself - but the wifi clients are 99% on a vlan. since you didn't setup a vlan on the hex - of cour...

i've got a friend living rural who is playing dota2 over 6(!) ptp 5ghz links, and he's not complaining about the delay. your 60ghz delay of 2-3 ms is completely irrelevant for the game itself.

Re: When setting up PtMP, does internet need to be connected to the PtMP unit?

actually 60ghz units are full duplex, meaning 1gbps/1gbps all the time.
as long as your mid point is not using internet, the 3rd point should be able to use full bandwidth. or close to full bandwidth.

it'll work, just slower. did that a long time ago with an omnitik and 2 sxt, and internet was on 1st sxt (omni was like a repeater to get signal to the 2nd location). i got like 35-40% of total bandwidth.

it is, give or take 20-30mbit. at 650mbit sync, you don't have enough "clean" signal to get more, and even it was 866/866 it would still go max 300mbit. get yourself a wireless wire set, or a set of cubes if they enter your budget. but for 120m a wireless wire set will work well, if you ha...
