worst performance of NetBox 5AX.. Is there any user who uses this NetBox 5AX??

Sun Oct 20, 2024 6:04 pm

Dear,
I have bought a Mikrotik NetBox 5ax and Ubnt AMO 5G 19 120 Sector Antenna. I want to replace my Omnitik 5AC with 3 Mikrotik NetBox 5AX with Ubnt 120-degree Sector antenna to cover 360 degrees.
But when I replaced Netbox 5AX, the signal performance was very bad.
wheres on SXT and litebeam M5 shows a -90 signal it is worst. While Omnitik has -45signal and 150tx/rx.

There a problem with the new MikroTik AX outdoor APs. I have the mANTBox 15AX and poor performance this replaced an older 15 AC antenna and coverage is terrible.

Submit ticket to MikrotTik or post your config here.

I assume same config used from prior antenna? Be sure country is set as well as antenna-gain for the external antenna.

You can ask Mikrotik yourself: https://mikrotik.com/support
It is very easy to contact them.
But first you should contact your distributor where you bought your device.

Too bad

Have you already contacted support? Sent an supout file? Why should we ask MikroTik?

Have you searched this forum, there are more topics about the NetBox.
please share reviewes
Can you share your current config?
/export file=anynameyoulike
Remove serial and any other private info.

/interface wifi
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] channel.band=5ghz-ax .frequency=5500 \
.skip-dfs-channels=all .width=20/40/80/160mhz configuration.antenna-gain=\
20 .chains=0,1 .country=Russia .distance=2 .mode=ap .ssid=test \
.tx-chains=0,1 .tx-power=28 disabled=no
Lets see:
  • .frequency=5500 - Apart from not knowing the usage a fixed channel is always good!
  • .skip-dfs-channels=all - Seems a bit contradictionary with the previous selected channel
  • .width=20/40/80/160mhz - not many devices support 160MHz, sure you want to use it?
My best guess would be conflicting settings. Can you remove .skip-dfs-channels=all and set .width=20/40/80mhz and give it another try?
Also, consider not settings chains.

Does it help when gain is set to 19? And when you unset TX Power (setting it to max power in accordance with regulations implicitly)?
Is the antenna well attached to the NetBox?
Have you followed all suggestions?

Can you post a new export (/interface/wifi/export is sufficient) after making all changes?

I have tried many ways to downgrade and upgrade the firmware.
but no result.
Do I need to go back basebox 5?

This will make it running at least; @miankamran7100 execute on your NetBox 5 ax CLI.
/interface wifi set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] !channel.frequency .width=20/40/80mhz !configuration.antenna-gain !.chains !.distance !.tx-chains !.tx-power
As already said in another topic: frequency 5500 is a) DFS channel and b) not allowed in Russia. So that's basically why it is not transmitting any signal at all.

I can't see Mikrotik NetBox 5ax APs "SSID" when Start Scan LiteBeam M5 and not seen in SXTsq Lite 5

why is it...???


only Omnitik found in a site survey

You're advised to do one thing and you come back telling that doing something else didn't help. Which means that giving advices to you is useless. So not a Mikrotik problem.

Dear, I take care of your answer and I have tried the advice you are giving me. I spent a lot of time, so that's why. But I'm not getting the least result I need.

in your radio configuration, change what you have defined for frequency
you specified 5200-5800

replace with

5180 [new line]
5240
5765

Also set DFS to SKIP ALL.

Try the 5180, or 5240 frequencies.

Can you set country code in correspondence with the country you are in (the NTP setting indicates something else)?
What is the status of the radio of the Netbox?
/interface/wifi/radio/print detail 
/interface wifi print
