Thank you for your answers!
Found the command here too:

There may be settings that can be adjusted, which Ros version are they running on?
They run Version 6.49.17, which seems to be the latest on stable channel. They got license level 3.
What's the signal level? Closer to the -40's, -50's or -60s? If it's in the -70's, you've got a problem.
I have 60GHz links working in the low -30's and -40's and work just fine. And lock the channel down to one of them instead of setting "auto". 60480 and 62640 have the most oxygen absorption loss, but at 20m that doesn't come into play.
I did
interface w60g monitor wlan60-1
on both ends with the following output:
From the antenna on the roof:
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: F4:1E:__:__:__:__
tx-mcs: 8
tx-phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 95
rssi: -51
tx-sector: 42
tx-sector-info: right 0.4 degrees, up 0.2 degrees
distance: 21.97m
tx-packet-error-rate: 0%
For the antenna on the wall:
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: F4:1E:__:__:__:__
tx-mcs: 8
tx-phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 95
rssi: -55
tx-sector: 62
tx-sector-info: right 0.8 degrees, up 0.6 degrees
distance: 21.88m
tx-packet-error-rate: 0%
They are using the lowest channel and don't seem to switch channels at any time. May changing the frequency help with stability?
The signal strength seems to be okay too.
MikroTik's UDP tests always show packet loss. The CPU is cramming as much as it can towards the other end. A TCP test would be a bit more accurate. 1Gbps sounds correct.
Okay, TCP tests show around 700Mbit/s steady when only sending or receiving and around 250/250 fluctuating when sending in both directions. I assume that is to be expected due to the TCP overhead?
Satellite signals are much lower on the band; they're not going to interfere with 60GHz.
I didn't mean interference between the signals, but the possible interference with reflections of the nRAYs own signal off the back of the TV dish.
But I was able to reduce down to ~ 1% , by no placing the Access-Point directly in front of a Hard-Surface (e.g. Wall,Windows)
Well, as one dish is mounted on the wall that could introduce interference with reflections I guess. But I cannot exactly change the location of it anymore.
While playing with frequencies, I observed that lower MCS correlates with lower bandwidth but also lower TX error rates. I do not understand the term MCS deeply yet, will take a look at this tomorrow. I will try to align the antennas more precisely later this week and report back then.
