Hi there,
I have a 60GHz Link with non Mikrotik Hardware over roughly 150m.
My logs show up and downs in the CINR value for both antennas. This leads to an unstable wireless link.
My assumption is some other 60GHz link is messing with mine. However I do not have the financial capacity to order some rohde & schwarz test equipment. I tried to relocate both antennas which gave me a bit of improvement but not much.
In my endeavour to find a solution I came across the Mikrotik 60GHz Wireless Wire.
Some further reading suggested it might be possible to use one of the stations as a quick and dirty WiFi Scanner in the 60GHz range. With the goal to possibly locate the other 60GHz link.
It is documented you can use the station to scan through the frequencies supported by the wificard.

In my case this should be the 60GHz range (not sure the exact frequencies though).
In the wiki the described command is:
/interface wireless spectral-scan <wireless interface name>
In the youtube video the command executed is:
/interface wireless spectral-scan wlan1
However when I ssh into the device I am unlucky with commands like
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface wireless spectral-scan wlan60-1
no such item
[admin@MikroTik] >
or
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface wireless spectral-scan
number: 1
Script Error: action cancelled
[admin@MikroTik] >
I am honestly not sure where to go from here. I tried to create a new virtual wifi interface via the WebFig Gui as the default name in there (wlan1) matches the one in the youtube video.
However I am greeted with the below error message and don’t know what I am supposed to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Is my overall idea worth trying?
And if so where took I the wrong turn?
Thanks in advance
Have a great day.
