1. Your signal (-72/-75) is not that good. It should be-60 to -65.
2. You don't show us the SNR and CCQ.
3. Try enable HT Extention Channel --> below control
4. Enable nstreme (with framer policy=best fit and framer limit=3200) or NV2.

Try to use 40MHz channel width instead of 20mhz!

set both devices to Nv2 mode. Also try to align them better, to improve signal. What about line of sight and interference? Could try to change frequency, use Snooper or Spectrum analyzer features to see other frequencies that are used.

First of all upgrade to latest version available - one thing that is consistent lately is wireless fixes in each version. (you can even write to support and get newest, unreleased version from Uldis ;) )

After upgrade, and after each try i suggest to reset wireless configuration. There are way too many options and sometimes it is easy to miss something.

oh yes, you are using an ancient version. upgrade to v4.16 and switch to wireless-nv2 package. or use v5rc10

thanks normis.

when i set both of these to NV2, the link between these is completely lost, and i cnat see any signal in registration TAB. i have tried various frequencies and line of site is perfect.

again: you are using a very old RouterOS version. upgrade to latest

Oh sorry! I didn't know that the SXT did NOT support 40MHz channels, but from what i've seen the card should run 105mbit/s without a problem so 20mhz channels should be fine! And as everyone else says: Upgrade to latest ROS!

I think that 20MHz + extension channel = 40MHz total.
