I want to start converting the access point to OFDMA, how do Wi-Fi 4 (mipsbe) clients work?
up to 6 km distance works better than with nv2
OFDMA works only with AP and AX Client
OFDMA also works with N/AC clients on the AP side. It's not optimal, but it works well.
Is the Distance parameter in the wifi configuration set or is the default value used?
Yes Distance parameter set.
I installed SXTsq-5axD as AP, Wi-Fi receivers 4 (mipsbe) clients work. I connected 13 stations. During peak load, clients started to disconnect. AP shows signal -76, station shows signal -66. How to configure this device correctly? Maybe this is the problem of a hidden Wi-Fi node? Distance 2km.

Logs in first screenshot say "extensive data loss". That could either be due to low signal levels (which is not in your case) or due to high interference ... which can be present only occasionally and thus hard to detect. It could originate from "a hidden node" or it could be from an unrelated source (another wireless network). In former case option "hw-protection-mode=rts-cts" of the legacy wireless driver would help, but I don't see this option for wifi-qcom drivers (and I don't know if this driver supports any of protection modes).
For my experience and tests as WISP, any non-nv2 MikroTik device used as Wireless CPE are totally useless.
I'm forced to use other competitors' devices, but in the end, some MikroTik device always is used for the access...

The “Superchannel” mode of the wifi-qcom driver unfortunately also broadcasts the “country” Superchannel and the channel and power limits it uses as part of the AP Beacon…
It would be better when it sent an empty value in “country” like everyone else does for such a setting. As it is now, the beloved authorities can easily see that you set Superchannel, even when it is only to avoid false radar detections.
