Fortunately, the FCC just authorized the expanded use of the UNII 1 band so you can change frequencies to that band if your clients will support it. Changing freqs is the only real solution. If the air space is saturated all you are going to do is beat your head against the wall.
Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately also UNII 1 band channels are used, and i already tried to beat my head against the wall, but it didn’t solve the problem

I’ve been there too
Unfortunately, without clean air space everything becomes a trade off. You can decrease the channel size. That will help considerably, but the trade off is throughput. Have you ever used a wifi router in a crowed apartment complex? There may be dozens of routers, maybe even a hundreds of them, but for the most part, your stuff will work with your router. That’s because of the distance and and the power. If every bit of spectrum is dirty, you are going to have to increase the signal to noise ratio for everyone of your clients and your APs. You can accomplish this by:
Reducing the channel size
Using more directivity with your antennas
Installing customers closer to your APs
Using increased power
Many people will disagree with this next statement, but spend some time thinking about it. Broadcasting from tall towers and from the top of tall buildings is the worst way to build a network. An experienced network engineer will only used the high space for BHs. Use the landscape to your advantage. When you can drop down below the tree line everybody else’s signal is attenuated. That’s how you deliver good service for a long period of time. Make your hopes small, always use as much directivity as possible, and use the landscape to your advantage.
Totally agree, once you have calculated height to clear freznel zone then look around and use a disadvantage to your advantage by placing say on the side of a building facing your clients rather than on top which would pick up unwanted signals also.
The dual polarity only come into to play with integrated antennas. For exanmple, you could use two horizontal antennas instead of a dual polarity antenna and it will work just fine.
If I use this and on client enable both or only horizontal polarities, does it work like using only horizontal?
I would like to use it as I have lots of clients already set on vertical polarity only!
Then the the first step in reducing interference caused by two radio cards attached to a 433 is to as others will advise is use 1 routerboard + 1 radiocard to a sector antenna
The problem is this place is very uncomfortable and I would like to reduce the number of RB to the minimum.
Do you know any trick to shield them better?
Is using 1RB => 1 Radio the only real solution?
Why is MikroTik selling routerboards with 2, 3, 4, 5 radio cards if using these slots is an issue?
