Is Wifi 7 with 6GHz radio could help to avoid noisy 5Ghz channels, but will manufacturer will go to it ?
Same issue here as @sirbryan caught. The Netbox AX uses incorrect United States country rules, capping TX at 23dBm regardless of the set antenna gain - preventing us from being able to make use of our 15km PtP link on higher-end channels which would normally allow for much greater EIRP. The radios themselves are otherwise quite capable, and work well at short distances, but we need that fixed to be able to use them for any long distance links.
What’s the SUP for this so we can reference it? This seems like a critical bug that should hopefully be easy for them to address, hopefully in time for 7.15 if treated as urgently as it likely should be.
Not a bug. It’s by design. See the FCC paperwork for these radios. They would have to get it certified again if they made changes. They did add full band support for the OmniTik’s, which I use as backup AP’s with the original dual-band Cube 60’s with AC radios in them, and those are locked to U-NII-3, despite the whole band being available for years. It’s really frustrating.
Now, if they release a US model of the NetBox/NetMetal 5AX’s, like they have for the hAP’s, then that would be acceptable, so long as maximum power levels are attainable.
hello guys
we have 57km ptp wireless link with netmetal5
is it longest ?
Post a picture of equipment. 
Add the picture to the post using Attachments, not just a link to en external site.
i didn’t take picture and i dont have access to the area to take picture
furthermore i use 34db dish antena with netmetal5
i did , thanks
I think in my country with radio on full effect and 34db antenna the erpi will surpass the legal limit for use of some concession from the government.
Sup Normis. Couple years ago I was working with WISP in Kaluga, Russia, they were using 25-30 km 5 ghz links as well as 5-10-20 km. The best results was with netbox and mant with sleeve, but for the longest link we had to use cambium\ligowave. LHG was performing at 50-60% of announced capacity at 10-15 km link. 60 ghz LHG was good up to 2 km with great speed until rains came 
So yeah 5 ghz backup with cubes is a good idea.
But again such a long distance require proper placement and high grounds.
The record is more than 300Km…

It is necessary to disable the short guard interval (SGI) when using the equipment in point-to-point mode.

I’ve got a 40km MikroTik link running with two SXT Lite5s. My towers are around 15 meters high, and the setup has been super reliable for a few months now. Here’s a shot of my setup—would love to see what others have going on!

Normis - you asked for greater than (30KM+) MikroTik wifi based links?
I recently posted my greater than 30KM Mikrotik link in the Mikrotik forum → Solving 20km wireless link issues
This is a new 31km wireless link I configured yesterday. ( most of the link is over water !!! )
At both ends of the wireless link , I am using the following:
- RB922UAGS-5HPacD
- RF-Elements twist-port dish antennas
- Wireless-Protocol: nv2 ( 802.11 will not connect at this distance )
- NV2 TDMA-Period-Size: 4ms
- NV2 Cell-Radius: 32
- NV2 Downlink-Ratio: 80
- Hw-Retries: one side is 7 and other side is 15 ( I am still dialing this in for best reliable throughput ) ( now 15 & 15 )
– Tower site elevation: 2973 feet + 80-foot level on a 120-foot tower
– Remote site elevation: 2345 feet + 20-foot level on top of a house ( FYI - my house )
– Lake level: 2142
– Average signal height above ground near both ends of the link: 60+ feet
This link has not been properly aligned yet - initial aiming of antennas was best guess where to point the antennas.
The link appears somewhat stable and useable.

Here is long long long long range microwave link !!!
24 billion kilometers 15 billion miles
Voyager 1
A signal sent from Earth takes nearly 23 hours to reach Voyager 1.
When a ping is sent , you can expect a received ping reply in about 46 hours.
Voyager 1 transmit speed about 160 bit/s.
Voyager 1 maximum transmit power about 23-Watts.
Earth received signal strength about a billionth of a billionth of a watt ( .0000000000000000001 Watts aka -160 dBm )
To send a signal from Earth to voyager requires:
- about a 20 kw transmitter using the Deep Space Network dish antennas.
- If this Earth transmitter was powered using 24 Volts , it require an almost 900-Amp 24-Volt power supply ( just a tad bit larger than a Mikrotik 24-V power supply.
Not Mikrotik microwave hardware
You sure?
I’m sure , just b4 posting , I pointed my mANT30 PA dish with a RB921UAGS-5SHPacT at Voyager 1 and performed a Wireless-Scan & Snooper , and I did not see any signals in the -160 db range that looked like it was a Mikrotik RB on Voyager 1.
I think Voyager was already launched before anyone even thought about starting Mikrotik … so pretty sure there is no RB on board
