I have selected 20/40MHz HT above.

What's wrong ?

What configuration? 802.11A, 802.11N or 2x2 MIMO?
Whar protocol? 802.11, nstreme or NV2?
What version of routerOS?
What signals on both sides?

Probably.

Connect with Winbox or web and check the signal level. You should be -50 to -75. You are probably -30 or stronger.

I found

in the winbox, interface wireless, HT MCS, they are only MC0 to MC15
in the webif they are MCS0 to MCS23, I click all to MCS23

and now it is better, go up 180MBps in the lab.

bug ou version of winbox ?

What is your signal level? Not the lights on the back, use the web interface or Winbox, wireless status, rx/tx signal level.

It isn't possible to answer your question without you answering ours.

Sextant can only use up to MCS15 as I understand it. MCS 16 and above are for 3x3 MIMO.

Try dropping your tx power. -45 should work, but may still be too much.

I'd drop both sides down to around 8 to 10dBm tx power and see how that does.


Before you take them out to install, you probably will want to set tx power to default again, then adjust as needed on site.

you must make some traffic between them and signal over -45
