The batch of new devices SXTsq 5 ac has arrived to us. We joyful have gone to install them to new clients.
As it has appeared, they don’t work as the client of the base station (mANTbox 19s).
SXTsq 5 ac sees base station all in Neighbors, but base station doesn’t see SQTsq 5ac in Neighbors.
SXTsq 5 ac doesn’t ping base station, base station doesn’t ping SXTsq 5 ac.
TX wireess traffic on SXTsq 5 ac is constantly 0 bps, chanel speeds are constantly 6Mbps, CCQ is constantly 4/4%.
After that we have mounted the stand at office, using configurations:
mANTbox 19s - SXTsq 5 ac (point-to-multipoint)
SXTsq 5 ac - SXTsq 5 ac (point-point)
SXT SA5- SXTsq 5 ac (point-to-multipoint and point-point)
The situation is similar, traffic doesn’t go.
What is it? the Next crude product with new chip?
What protocol do you use? And what security?
I confirm this.
Not work in 802.11 and nv2 mode.
Working only in nstreme mode.
I send ticket to support with this,
We have tested it with NV2. It doesn’t work.
Now after your post i tested it with 802.11 and nstreme. It’s begun to work.
It turns out that the device doesn’t work in the mode NV2?
Have you tried ROS 6.41 which is released today?
Yes, but no changes.
any news?
it sounds not so incredible that new mikrotik product is not yet ready to use nv2 
I wanted to buy some sxt sq ac and now i’m not so sure.
I’ve written a question to support@mikrotik.com. they don’t answer.
i don’t see this issue, works with 802.11 and nv2
@mistry7 could You please test TCP throughput regarding new CPU used in sxtsq.
just run TCP bandwitch test to 127.0.0.1.
here…
Both directions
one direction
Test does not support multiple Cpu Cores…
ROS is way behind the Hardware can do…
I’m wondering if you understand that this way you test how fast the btest itself works. And the results of such “test” has nothing to do with how fast your router can forward traffic, i.e. pretty much useless…
pretty much useles untill You compare it to other mikrotik hardware results.
And YES it reflects CPU efficiency utilization by ROS and that is what I wanted to know.
It reflects CPU performance under a particular load- in this case bandwidth test application. Profile for other types of load may differ greatly, and this is especially true when you compare totally different CPU architectures (like ARM vs MIPS-BE). So, basically, it is especially useless when you compare hardware of different CPU architectures.
ofcourse for You it may be useless, for me it gives a clue how efficient is ROS in one core utilization when compared to previous releases or different CPU.
If You have any other Idea how to check/stress routerboard CPU please share Your opinion.
Does anyone except the OP have any issues with SXTsq 5ac?
Harvey, what do you mean by “doesn’t see in neighbors”. Are you talking about scan, registration list or actually the Neighbors list (which doesn’t say anything about wireless not working).
normis, i show you it by pictiures.
1) Point2point in NV2.

And so we get disable bridge with connected CPEs:
2) Point2point in 802.11- bridge is working!!!

Suppliers of the Mikrotik say that such situation not only at me one.
-28dB signal is much too much. Get it down to -55 or something.
I’ve given an example of test in office.
Problem doesn’t depend of signal strength.
Iv read your entire posts and i cant even understand whats your problem.
I have just freshly installed same 2 units in 1KM link and they work perfectly fine, and im getting around 170mbit UDP and thats with roof obstacle of one building in between.
