I am planning to buy two SXTsq ax devices to make a point to point link but I just figured out that wifi6 configuration interface looks completely different and I don’t know how to do that. Does anybody have working configuration to share or have some link to manual? I looked into Mikrotik wiki page but I can’t find this information.
Official documentation:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/224559120/WiFi
If you show how you would do it in the pre-wifi6 era, perhaps we can advice you?
I was looking for more something like this example:

This is my typical pre-wifi6 era point to point configuration:

Please someone help me,
Quick summary: Four sector 19dbi 120degree antennas connected in both ch0 and ch1 of the netmetal ax using two splitter in offshore to cover 360degree. control room have one dish antenna 30dbi connected in netmetal 5AC. The distance is 6-8km. This setup is for monitor the offshore cctv footage from onshore. County is UAE.
After all the configuration done, it worked unstable for 8hrs. and after suddendly disconnected.
Now if i try to scan and connect, it shows an error “Failed to select frequency channel”.
How to solve this?, Pease some one help me. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
I have two brand new SXTsq 5 ax devices (with Qualcomm radios), and I’m trying to establish a simple point-to-point (P2P) wireless link between them.
So far, I’ve managed to get a link working, but only when I manually scan for networks from the station-bridge side and connect after finding the AP. Without the manual scan, it doesn’t connect automatically.
Could someone please guide me on how to properly configure a stable P2P link so that the connection is established automatically on boot or reboot?
Any configuration tips or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
