can anyone post links to the 802.11ac cards your using??? I’d like to order some and google didn’t help!

I have a card but it don’t detect in interfaces

Is it an “Atheros” based card? I found a few on eBay from China I just ordered. Somebody has to know of some card that works…

Yes. Ar9882 card. I believe MikroTik has it disabled until later this year.

Seems not to be a simple upgrade path. Big competitor does only PTP in a first step. I dont see .ac from Radwin, Repeatit, … now. Only Cambium has a 256QAM PTMP Radio but this is expensive and not .ac.

I guess the first chipsets have their problems …

I am not done yet but I got the ar9888 and with it out of align 6 miles away I get about 400mbps. Once aligned I am guessing about 600+mbps. We will see.
