Hi if you can maybe add extended range. So that clients may have a better change to connect to the rb.
what range are you talking about?..
2.4ghz b/g but 5ghz would also help
Check out their Embedded Radio cards. I believe that most, if not all, work in MT boards. The 802.11n cards don’t work yet by what I’ve read on this board, but hopefully they will soon.
I think you are asking for a change in the laws of physics.
The tools are already there for extended range. Use higer gain antennas on both ends and better radio cards at both ends.
RouterOS already supports long range connections.

Im using mikrotik r52h card for my AP at home. The antena is mounted on a pole on the roof. The antenna is about 6meters from the ground. I have to pc’s in the house that is using aries3054 pci cards. The signal strength shown by the network card inside the compuer is low to very low. And the mikrotik rb shows that the signal is between -86 to -91.
The antenna on the roof is a omni 12dbi. There are steel roofplates that may be causing radio inteference.
what’s your point? those Aries cards in your pc’s probably don’t have the power and the appropriate antenna to connect to anything further than 20m away
lol 
they are better than canyon.
what is “canyon”?
a company that makes pci wireless card and other wireless stuff. Their stuf is usualy cheap. The aries3054 supports super G and extended range which makes it better than other. I would like to try mikrotik insode my computer.
You see, it doesn’t depend on the wireless card that you use in your windows PC. it will still use indoor drivers which are not supposed to be used for longer range. “extended range” is just a marketing term.
Apart from that:
If you have the antenna mounted on the roof, as you write, ans guessing it’s an omni:
Sitting IN the house directly UNDER the antenna is probably one of the places to get the worst signal anyhow. A omni just doesn’t emit/receive in/from that direction (“down”)…
Yes thats true. Maybe y can add a repeater to that omni. Then put the repeater inside my house.
move that antenna to one corner of home, it is true, that omni antennas are not transmitting below them.
about extender range - using standard 802.11 maximum link length is ~60KM after that ACK value needed is too big to fit into allowed values. Hope this is range enough that can be achieved with RouterOS using standard technologies that everyone should support, after this step you can switch to Nstream and go with links described in wireless section (304KM)
also, i would suggest you to check what exactly that extended range means? Maybe these are just large letters on the box, that actually does not do anything useful.
What I know is extended range is a protocol by atheros providing low throuhput but stronger signal levels due to lot of overhead to keep the connection up or something like that. but. Im not sure thou.
What about implementation Extended Range technology in RouterOS?
read all above
eXtended Range Technology Doubles Wireless Range Traditional Wi-Fi chipset architectures focus on maximizing throughput in order to perform well in benchmarks and typical office environments. Such designs typically don’t perform well at long range or in difficult environments, such as multi-story homes. Atheros’ new chipsets feature a signal processing architecture that dramatically stretches the performance of a WLAN by embedding separate optimized designs for high performance, high signal-to-noise and long range, low signal-to-noise ratio environments. The architecture delivers receive sensitivities of up to –105dBm, over 20 dB better than the 802.11 specification.

It would be nice to have as a fallback. Wouldn’t really change anything, however, it would allow for transient interference.
edit: actually, it would make 5GHz as reliable as 2.4GHz during less than ideal conditions.
