I have got PTP link with ‘LHG XL AC’ to ‘Netbox 5’ 30dbi and signal is -55/-59dbm(tx/rx), but CCQ is 24/31%(tx/rx) and i alredy chenge frequency.
i attched screen shot of AP and CPE.
That doesn’t mean much, the air may be crowder everywhere. Does at least one of the devices support the “spectral scan” function? (some wireless chipsets can do that, some cannot).
Instead of using 802.11 as wireless protocol, try nstreme see the results and if they are not good try nv2… Careful though, when you change the protocol on your AP, make sure your Station is set to any…
Also why are you using super channel instead of regulatory domain ?
When you change the wireless protocol let the frequency to auto and see what frequency your AP chose… Or do as @sindy suggested, a spectral scan…
All the above apply for Winbox settings… i know nothing about quickset
A strong signal with a low CCQ might be something like the following environment:
- Strong signal
- Lots of noise on the frequency from other microwave devices.
Kind of like this … You and I are next to each other in a huge group of people. Everybody is yelling and you and I are also yelling. We both hear each other the loudest over the group of other people yelling. One of us or both of us is having problems understanding what the other is yelling to each other. Net result low quality of reliable communication ( low CCQ ).
Possible solutions:
- use directional antennas aimed at each other
- use a different frequency and try Ceee and eeeC ( or Ce and eC ) on each frequency.
- try using the NV2 or nstream wireless protocol
For every problem , their might be a simple solution ….

You can check some options to improve the CCQ:
- use a strong frequency that has less noise (High value of Noise to the floor)
- Change channel width for example Ceee and eeeC ( or Ce and eC etc).
be informed that, any options from the Channel Width have an effect on CCQ for example use 10MHZ as channel width instead 20MHZ maybe you will get a high-quality CCQ but it provides you a little Throughput .
hope this is clear.
Thanks,
Be very carefull with that 10MHz , or any non-common channel width. http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/debugging-function/33/1
For 5300/XX , don’t use XX, but Ce or eC to have full control which one of the 2 possibilities is used.
- check the environment with “Snooper” and “Freq usage” for other users on both devices
-Co-channel (exact same channel) will give better performance than adjacent channel (overlapping channel) interference.
Poor CCQ comes with interferenc, but even more with disturbance (trees and leaves in the fresnel zone of the PtP connection are worst case. No setting can correct for this tree and its leaves!!!)
30dBi does not give a smaller Fresnel zone than lower antenna gain, it is 5GHz dependend. Free calculators on the internet.
CCQ is calculated from the ratio “Frames”/“HW frames”, in the detailed view of the registration. (Frames=good transmissions, HW frames is all attempted transmissions)
46dB SNR should give a very good CCQ and interface rate (like “400Mbps-40MHz/2S/SGI”). Some obstruction will ruin this however.
I expect good signal reception at the LHG XL AC due to the antenna gain. But what is available at the other end? (Antenna gain DOES NOT send a stronger signal, India EIRP limit applies. The reception however is better)
Very awfull PING RTD times ! ‘x*7’ retransmits (x interface rate step downs, 7 failing hardware retransmits before step down). Very asymetric TX/RX rates. Interface rates checked at both ends?
“spectral scan” function
i wish that feature to work for all products
