Hi… i need help very very very urgently to solve my problem.
I bought two antenna directional with integrated a 133c routerboard in bridge mode
this is the gps location of the Transmitter:
Latitude: 45°51’35.85"N
Longitude: 9°24’22.11"E
and the receiver:
Latitude: 45°45’14.02"N
Longitude: 9°26’5.44"E
In the mikrotik I set the TX in BRIDGE mode with 5ghz - 5180mhz antenna gain 19dbi and manual tx power to 11dbm
RX in WDSSLAVE mode with 5ghz - 5180mhz antenna gain 19dbi and manual tx power to 11dbm
I cannot get the bridge working between the two antenna.
What’s wrong ?
I must be very accuracy pointing the antenna or it is not so important ?
Please help help help help help help help help me !
yes you could do that, however im not saying it will make the link. But it will be tons better than what you have now. You can try if it dosent work then you will have to upgrade your antenna to like 29 dbi. On ebay right now there selling some Sr5’s cheaper if priceyness is an issue.. Just do a search for ubiquiti… Im to busy to chat online, best stay on the fourm. And really inox said it best first i just backed him up and brought in freznel zone. He knows what to do aswell -Jordan
I do not understand XR9 Times 2… etc.. can you explain better please ?
i attach a picture from the roof of my house.
is everything free in the direction but the diference in meters between the source and the target is 60 mts.
only some trees and buildings but under the signal !
Tryed to load the picture didnt load. Not sure why.
Ok Xr9 is a 900mhz Card which requires 900mhz Antenna’s. 900Mhz Goes farther than 2.4ghz or 5.8 Ghz will. and it also works better in NLOS (None line of Sight) enviorments.
An Xr5 Is a very powerfully 5.8ghz card built by Ubiquiti. Pop an Xr5 into both Rb133c’s and see if you can make the “connection” then you can make your bridge or whatever. Be carefull how you say things we can take them in a wrong way and give you incorrect information.
If hte Xr5 Does not work You could try Higher gain antenna’s If that does not work You will most likely need 900 Mhz Link.. Let us know how it goes. -Jordan
Its pretty fair, But you could probibly throw something together cheaper if you get cards off from e-bay. Then again it is used. But that would work for one side of your 900mhz backhaul link. Then again the 900mhz antenna did not say how man dbi it was…
Its up to you what you want to use. We have helped you the best we can now you just need to try it and see if it works good luck,. -Jordan
Brr, Why you start with so complicated config?
Reset all and start from scratch.
Change only necessary wireless settings like
1)band - 5Ghz
2)country - your country
3)frequency-mode -regulatory-domain
4)mode - bridge in one side, station in another end
5)frequency - 5180Mhz i think those frequency was for indoor use in EU - use scan to find free channel 5500-5700.
Leave tx power default.
Hi I’m back.
thanking you now my ideas are more clear…
So for example if I try to make my kit i would like to use:
1 grid antenna 30dbi for 5ghz
1 routerboard R333
1 radio miniPCI SR5 (400 mW)
1 little cable to attach the antenna (N-FEMALE) to radio (MCX)
1 box for outdoor where put the routerboard
Is it correct ?
Now i need an answer to my question:
I live in Italy and from what I know in italy you can use a max of 1W (30dbm) EIRP
The 30dbi antenna gain should be add to the radio power (4W) ???!?!?!
Your antenna config is correct. But i bleieve the Sr5 has more output than that. maybe im thinking the Xr5.. I dont know.
As far as your output power… Ummm get a lower dbi antenna, like 26 dbi, then you can adjust the output power of the card to meet your area’s power restriction..
If all else fails 900mhz is the way to go, will be able to use lower gain antenna’s and less power and keep within your countrys regulations. -Jordan
