Wireless Wire 60Ghz

Fri Jul 13, 2018 10:44 am

Hi,

I have a question about wireless wire 60ghz.
In the paper about it I can read it is preconfigured and paired.
Don't we need additional configuration?
What about IP addresses and subnets and so on?

Since the kit bridges two networks together, the units themselves don't need any addresses. As a pair, they can basically replace an ethernet cable between two devices (like two switches in two buildings). No need for any config.

Oh ok, that sounds great.
Really like that.

Now I have 2 Mikrotik SXT 5 AC devices for bridging two buildings but it is not stable.
Is Wireless Wire 60Ghz a good replacement for this and is het more stable?

Now we experience regular timeouts.
The signal is ok I think (TX RX signal is -65 / -63 but if we start a ping to the other building we see a lot of time outs.
The Buildings are about 200 meters apart from each other and have a sight connection.

That signal seems off. At that distance you probably should be getting closer to the -50 area will near 100 signal quality.

Question of my own: The default setting for tx-power equates to what? Max?

Hi, thanks for your reaction.
TX Power mode is set to "default"\

Settings are this (See picture)

Signal levels are very low for such distance, is line of sight clear?

Please check if this repeats with latest current and RC versions.

as a side note - antenna-gain value is used for limiting power output. By setting higher value into antenna-gain field TX-power will be adjusted accordingly to match regulatory domain (this will work only if frequency-mode=regulatory-domain is set). From your export it seems that "frequency-mode=manual-tx-power" but device power output looks more like at active "regulatory-domain" setting.
