Uldis, support files sent!

We put this new NV2 to work in 2 different set of links: 1st: I'ts a 16km long link. 2nd: It's our newest darling, 100km long link. In the 1st one, it has been working flawlessly for 3 days in a row and we got for our complete surprise (since it's a PTP it does not get all the benefits of TDMA) a hu...

Just a tip to everyone with packet lost problems with a fast ethernet mikrotik product (R433,R433AH and so on) and ECI switches and fiber converter products with gigabit ports, we found that if you plug a fast ethernet (on mk) to a giga port (on ECI) even if the ECI port is set to 100mbp/s they will...

In the changelog of the new 5.0beta 2 we have these new features: *** added wireless distance setting, removed ack-timeout; *** improved 802.11 operation for outdoor distances; What is this new parameter distance setting? How it works? How do i set it? By km, miles, meters? What you guys mean by imp...

mjoksimovic, just to update you, we are now running a 80 mbp/s very stable link using turbo mode. Note that the R5H has reached EOL, MK is urging every one to switch to the new R5Hn, card which i had not tested yet.
Please posts your results here.

Yes, i have a 80km bad fresnel with 90/100% ccq, 36 mbp/s link running on R5H. We are now working on a 120 km with good results. These cards are excellent.

Pls watch my presentation http://www.tiktube.com/?video=196.

Pls read http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28117&p=135945&hilit=r5h+first+impressions#p135945 Pls watch : http://www.tiktube.com/?video=196 The answer for your question is NO. The XR5 is no better than the R5H for long distance links. The R5H has better sensibility and cost l...

Well, we already know that the R52H has some issues which MK should fix it, but compare this model to the new R5H is not fair. R5H is a complete different kind of wireless card and i can assure you it does't have any issues at all. By the way i think it's better than the XR5 and it has a better buck...

It has only CE and FCC certifications.

You should definitely try the R2H, best buck/performance.

I have several R5H running and i got no less than -90/-89.

Are you in a noisy area? Are you using a clear channel ? Make sure you hit the frequency usage button and and choose a clean channel. If it's ok and you still have a low signal strength and a low CCQ rate, my suggestion is to rebuild all the connectors, switch the cables and pigtails. What is the le...

I just did some research (with google help) and i found a text about lightning strikes and Brazil: "Brazil is the world's champion in lighitning strikes with around 60 milion strikes evey year". I can't image a worst environment to check them out. And you won't see much of lightnings witho...

Well, as far as i concerned, Brazil as any tropical country is hit almost every day by huge thunderstorms. I can tell by my own experience (i lived in the midwest USA, for 4 years) that we have down here a lot more daily thunderstorms than any region in the northern hemisphere (even Florida). My R5H...

I think nobody is doubting the XR5's greatness but talking about a new cost effective competitor. I have several links running on the XR5s but i have no plans to add more, instead i'm using the R5Hs with no major issues at all. Comparing price/performance, definely the R5H is a killer.

It's also good for long distance links.

I would recommend the R5H. It'll cost almost half the price with very similar performance. Actually the new R5H is in my opinion the best wireless card ever produced by mt.

Yes, you can put 3 R5H on the R433.
I did the test myself (as others already reported) and it's ok.
I also got the official answer from MT stating it's ok to do so.

John, i did not try to put 3 of these cards in on single 433, but i can do this test for you. I'll try to do this during this week. I did ask MK people about card limitation on the RB600 and the wrote back saying i cannot put more than 4 R5H on the RB600, so besides my test you should ask Normis and...

Roc Noc, i totally agree with you. But i'll have more details soon. My team is still working with this link.
When you going to get your R5Hs?
Pls let me know when you start using them and your results. Thx

Well, here are the 1st results of the real world tests. I did exchange the R52H for the R2H on my backup link. Just to remember those not present at the MUM in Brazil, this is a 76km link with a very bad fresnel, i have a telco tower just in front of my antennas. I'll try to take a good picture of t...

These are my first impressions with the new R5H, pls add to the topic your own experience with this new piece of hardware. All right, i just received the new R5H which in my personal opinion is the best wireless mini-pci ever produced by mk. Check it out the improvements: Much better finishing - jus...
