Point to Point with SXT's

Sat Jul 09, 2011 2:33 am

Greetings MiktoTIK people!

I need help in setting up an Point to Point link with SXT's. I have read a lot of posts on the forum, but none seem to address my issue in exactly HOW to configure my devices and I would love to deploy them for a 500meter link, at the highest available speed.
I've upgraded my devices to ROS 5.5, and loaded the system and wireless.npk files on them and enabled the wlan1 interface (using WinBox).
How do I proceed in getting the units to link?
What settings are needed for fastest link?

I come from a UBNT environment and I can only assume I'm still thinking in those terms and not in RouterOS terms ... therefor I'm getting stuck. My one device is a BRIDGE and the other a STATION. They do "see" each other, but do not have any data throughput. I can only think I am missing something important here!

Please guide me in whats the right way to do this.

Many thanks!

Hi,

I have discovered that link and did as he instructed. Got it working!!! Brilliant!
Tho, I have to say, I expected better speed. Real TCP throughput is around 9 meg/sec, with Gigabit LAN both sides. (lan ports on units also set to gigabit mode, don't know whats the effect that has?? WLAN: Band 5gHz A/N; 20/40Mhz HT Above, 5300gHz, nv2 extreme, HT: chains 0 and 1 for RX and Tx, AMPDU Priorities: all ON))
Any suggestions how I can tweak to increase performance more?
Link is true LOS, <500m. Signal levels around -60 -- -70dB as suggested.
Appreciate any pointers and input from the MikroTik Boffins around here! :D
