Hi Guys,
What is your experience with the reliability and quality of the link when you compare nRay and LHG60.
Of course Wireless Wire nRAY, it is better with tolerance of snow, but it has a much smaller antenna. LHG60 Ø 391 x 222 mm, nRay 261 x 166 mm. Is the same antenna gain in dbi?
Do you have some experience from a field with this devices on the same distance?
Also the difference is that nRay has 2 CPU Threads on 1 Ghz, and LHG60 4 CPU Threads on 716 MHz.
Best regards,
Nikola
For me same performance of LHG 60 version 2
Recommended distance is the same, 1500m. But, field experience is essential. It seems too small antenna for nRay
NRAY works better in colocation due to metal antenna
Hi!
Are there any news? Did you see any problems with nray compared to LHG60G?
Thank you for your thoughts!

The Nray still gets ice sticking to the front of the unit when its very cold.
I had big trouble with the nRAY compared to LHG60.
It was impossible to align for stable link, tested the same unit at two different locations, LHG60 (with Jirous JH-LHG shield) worked fine there (about 350-400 m distances, PtMP to WAP60Gx3).
Perhaps I’ve just had a defective unit (from the start of production) and should RMA?
Something i have noticed is the metal dish on the NRAY is not earthed, i think it should be.
This sounds like a small desaster, if LHG with 3rd-party cover isbetter than nray…
Can’t comment on LHG60G, but FWIW, like @marekm, I’m also not having a good experience with nRay. Just installed and tested today as a line-of-sight between masts of 2 buildings approx 150m apart (yes 1/10th of spec capability). These are meant to “just work” out of the box like a wireless wire. So, no config, just mount, connect both ends to PoE switches, align and test.
Aligned using plastic aiming tool and achieved approx 3-400 mbit/s. Beautiful summer day. Performance less than 1/2 of what we expected. The 4 magic aligning lights were not helpful at all - jumped all over the place. For instance, when the alignment was clearly 15% off according to the aiming tool, it would still be requesting to go the wrong way, then we’d move the dish a bit, and the lights jump to prompting for the opposite move!
So, I’m stumped, I’m afraid. Doesn’t seem to be any diagnostics except the magic aligning lights.
The new firmware for the nRAY seems to stop checking the signal after it settles down, you can move it all over the place and the signal does not change. (routeros-arm64-6.49beta54.npk)
Hopeless if your trying to align the unit up.
Why you use beta software on things than be act to simply as ethernet cable?
For the nRay pair that I tested, I have no idea what software is on it. And I shouldn’t have to care, it’s supposed to be a wireless wire matched pair that “just works”. Unfortunately “just works” at 1/3 capability for me at the moment, so I may be forced to dive into issues like firmware. Should I? Any suggestions? I certainly can do that, but at the end of the day, with the value of these items, and the value of my time, these don’t end up being good value anymore!
Why would you not try the beta software?
I was looking for a power setting, as the UK has changed the regulations as of the 30th November to a lower power output.
After 30th you can only use 10 erip as license free.
So, what is the stance then? Is the nRAY better performing instead of LHG 60G? Or what?
hi
i have nray 60ghz
64800 mhz only works 1541 m distance and RSSI -61 ; signal/msc 80/8
58320 unstable
60480 unstable
62480 unstable
but, on light rain, normal rain .. drop drop drop
is that normal or defective device ? or distance is too high ? 1541 m?
on sunny day, al good
judging from signal strength - your alignment is way off.
see picture, and allday say 0,4
right now is 0,8
but, when is rain .. go down, so i decide to give up with cambium force 300-25 5ghz
The center position on the nRAY is 31, it is hard to find
Also the TX sector info goes 0.2-0.8 then it changes TX sector, its not your off 0.2 degree
From my experience, best would be to align tx/rx sector to 0.2 degrees, “centered” has not been implemented yet on nRAY and 0.2 is the closest you can get
