The LHGG LTE6 kit is rather disappointing. It looks like the same dish/package reused – zero improvements to antenna gain.
Well, if you are unhappy with apros 20 dbi you can always utilize whatever size of a dish using the standard “LNB” sized LDF LTE6: https://mikrotik.com/product/ldf_lte6_kit
PS…
IMHO, it’s a sane production decision to reuse the antennas whenever possible as new designs are always expensive to implement from RND all the way to full production.
Hi SiB,
What did you mean exactly by this comment, ‘must move to 180°‘, please?

new wAP ac? → Well, it looks like you took the board layout from the cAP ac with an IPQ40xx chipset and 128 MB of RAM and put it into an modified wAP ac case.
wAP ac 1. generation has 3x3:3 MIMO support, i.e. AC1750
(upgraded) wAP ac 2. generation has 2x2:2 MIMO support, i.e. AC1200
So, as it can be seen you take the IPQ4018/IPQ4019 chipset and put it everywhere. Can you please add MU-MIMO software support, aswell? This chipset supports it, aswell.
LORA great for all 8 people using it.
Gain below 0 (ZERO) is for Bands base differ then 800Mhz who only is good for that LHG(G)R.
Some users (few person) report me that for his 700Mhz (like France/USA) he have better signal when he set direction antenna back to BTS 
of course when he have activated only one band at that frequency
Next Arm device with half done Wireless Driver…
And we loose the last realy working Mikrotik Wireless AP
OK, understood thank you SiB. I have an LHG operating on Bands 20, 800MHz & 3, 1.8GHz at 1.5km from the tower. I do plan to do some tests with a separate Band 20 diversity antenna to see if I can improve performance above the ~5dB and will update this thread when complete.
Rgds, Steve

Please create a new one, this is not for your problems but for comment the Newsletter, be ok with netiquette of forum.
I track all thread’s about LTE in title, body and if some one put SiB in any post… call me.
Sergejs do you know that direct attach cables is not usable in CCR2004 due to the packet loss problem caused by hw port extender?
We will need more information about your issue. It will be great you can contact support team (support@mikrotik.com) with as much details as possible.
As per our tests and available information, direct attach cable are working good and has nothing to do with packet loss.
Already did it TT [SUP-30387] 4 weeks ago, the problem occurs when you mix different port speeds on CCR2004 in my case 10 giga with giga …
We are performing different testing procedures and improving some procedures already, regarding your report about CCR2004. On our opinion issue is not related to the direct attach cables. You will be updated on the ticket, once there are bullet proof results and possible suggestions.
I am wondering if Mikrotik has some plans to design a router of home office using a stand option like the Asus AC68U in order to save some area space and have finally 3/4 chains with external antennas? The AC3 is a good approach now with 128Mb flash but difficult to use it in the upright position with external antennas so a design like the asus would be great in this case.
Also the gigabit internet connections are becoming more often to our houses so a router to sustain 1G routing performance with 50-100 rules would be great.
Cube 60G ac, well, ok. We asked for Cube 60 with gigabit port, thanks, but we won’t asked for 5Ghz backup and double the price point.
5ghz backup is useless because:
- Cube 60G ac is licence leve 3, so we cant use it as access point
- RBwAPG-60ad-A and RBwAPG-60ad-SA doesn’t have 5ghz radio
- we use other brand for 5ghz, and if we want we would make our own 5ghz backup implementation.
will be cube 60G without ac ?
When the first 60G devices were introduced there were a lot of folks asking for a combined devices with 5G backup. Now that the first such device is introduced there are other guys saying the opposite…
I think it is worthwile to have a 60 GHz device with 5 GHz backup, but I would prefer a slightly more high-gain device so it could be used at a longer distance.
And of course, there always are people who do not like the devices made available, no matter what they are.
But it’s a valid point to have Cube with 1GbE and no 5GHz backup, because not every time you need it. Sure, it’s nice to have backup but in the end price is also important and currently we have:
Cube Lite60 $69
Cube 60G ac $124.00
That’s quite a price increase if all you need is Gigabit port. Cube 60G with just that for something like $89 would be much better.
Unlike version with added 5GHz, extra cost going from 100Mbit to GigE in BOM is <$5 so $20 premium would already be quite generous… and perfectly fine if it’s L3 again.
When can we expect to see the new wAP AC at distributors? Thinking of getting one for performance testing. Hopefully they don’t co-mingle their stock!
Am I mistaken when I think that the “new wAP ac” is actually the “wAP ac LTE kit” without the LTE module?
The CPU is the same like in hAP ac², so if you have experience with that one, the performance should not differ much.
