Any ideas how to disable beam forming ?
Explain why do you think you need to do this?
More accurate align of dish . Slightest movement and signal on 1 km go 65 and then in few seconds as bran forming kicks in signal is 100. I like to align it to 100 without beam forming , once that will be done then I can enable it again . Also on other note installed release candidate yesterday and she never woke up have to netinstall to stable version
Beamforming works great, accurate alignment not really needed at all.
Ya that didn’t really answered my question so we won’t get acces to disable it ?
beamforming antenna selection and signal display was also no to responsive for us.
i’ve heard, we have to make some traffic thru link (few hundred megs via btest for example) for much faster response…
Yeah,
i confirm, we make alignement with no traffic, max signal ~40-60 with btest on link signal goes up to 70~~~80
1.95 km link
Thanks I ty that tomorrow and see . Pitty boys don’t let us disable it for time been
/in w60g set 0 tx-sector=36
locks tx sector, which might be the center sector
have fun !
Our experience with aligning the LHG have been anything but easy. We have a mere 300m link that seems to jump around signal wise and predictably drops in the rain. At first we thought it was the mounting bracket moving when we tried to lock down but now think something else is the culprit.
after setting up second link i know the way u just have to practice with them and eventually u will get it right , we have two link for 1 km and both working no problem , doesn’t matted if is raining or fogy
No drops in rain? Our link works great until it rains then its up/down constantly.
Does beamforming work in both directions (TX/RX) - or is it TX only? I can see many different and changing tx-sector values, but rx-sector seems to be always 96. Or is it just not reported properly?
Not a single drop even I heavy rain. , we based in Ireland so rain is here twice a week sometimes non stop for couple of weeks and don’t have any problems with it . Best 200€ I ever spend
That’s very encouraging. If you have any pro-tips you can share here we’d love to hear them! Thanks for the reply.
So what’s the chance of some decent documentation on this Mikrotik? We’re all wasting a lot of time searching the wiki, forums and google
Any know exactly do to disable beamforming?

tx-sector is an 8x8 grid of values 0-63 going right-to-left (left-to-right on the LHG), bottom-to-top.
Examples:
On a wAP 60G, tx-sector 0 represents “right 26.6 degrees, down 26.6 degrees.” 62 is “left 19 degrees, up 26.6 degrees”
On a LHG, 15 is “right 1.4 degrees, down 1 degrees.” 58 is “left 0.6 degrees, up 1.4 degrees”
There are four “center” sectors; the four squares in the middle of this grid: 27, 28, 35, 36.
Thanks so much Dan.
Where did you find the info about the sectors?
Trial-and-error; observing the monitor output while moving antennas around.
What is the purpose in the arrow lights on the side of the LHGG-60ad?
