Just one question, what you mentioned:
wireless PtP link (if you have both 2.4Hz and 5Ghz on the AP - one used for wireless bridge between AP, other band used for clients),
Is this Nstreme Dual in MikroTik?
Thanks!
Maybe. Specifics matter...
You need to decide what band (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz) you want to use to connect the AP together first, then what’s left is what’s going to be what Wi-Fi uses. Now is 5Ghz typically used to bridge APs, and 2.4Ghz used for clients, so likely a good place to start. And for 5Ghz, not sure if nstream/nv2 (TDMA-based, ~Ubnt AirMax) is what be generally recommended if a device supports 802.11ac. Personally, I’d try 802.11ac first. But Nv2 may be right depending on the situation...
For the wireless bridge, I’d see what protocol/config QuickSet does if you set one to “PTP Bridge AP” and the other to “PTP Bridge CPE”. That get you something to test a bridge at the typical distance you want to deploy them in... Then tweak as needed to get a good link between two of the APs first.
But the “right choice” large depending on:
- where are the Wi-Fi users going to be relative to the APs (and how many users you have)?
- How far apart are the AP going to be from one another? If there really far apart, you might want to use 2.4Ghz for the backbone bridge, and 5Ghz for client but assume you need need Wi-Fi coverage in between AP locations too (see question 1).
- What location provides acceptable LTE bandwidth/service? Typically higher is better for wireless bridging and LTE, but put the Wi-Fi client further from the AP.
And,
you can’t optimize all three — maybe get a couple of them....better bridging and/or better LTE coverage and/or better better Wi-Fi coverage/speeds. And the laws of physics may prevent it in the first place
