Has anyone any experience with the following setup?
A point to point connection between two R52 using one 5.4GHz channel. The catch is that the receiving antennas on both ends have a gain of ca. 35 dBi while the sending antennas only have a gain of about 8 dBi.
Do the cards and RouterOS drivers support the resulting asymmetric signal strength?
Thomas,
Yes you can do that with Dual N-Streme (2 radios in each end of the link) with a high gain recieving antenna you can gain a lot of extra dBm and reach further than normal. You should however seperate the links with at least 200MHz and keep good distance between the antennas.

You can also use antenna-mode = txa-rxb or vice versa.. Which will transmit with one antenna connector and receive with the other. Using this method only uses a single channel and single card on each side although it does not provide for a full duplex link like a Dual Nstream setup would..

Throughput isn’t an issue (aim is about 10kB/s) neither is latency. I’ll give it a try.
