[Mikrotik] PTP N MIMO - Anyone have a good combo?

2010-09-17 Thread Bill Prince
I think we're going to put together a 5GHz PTP N/MIMO link. Should be easy, we've got a 4 mile link, good LOS, and we're using 2' dual-polarity dishes. I would just like to avoid re-inventing the wheel, and wanted to poll the list to see what combinations work. For RouterOS, it looks like

I don't think RC1 is available yet. You could run it fine with 5.0B6 or 4.11 in Nstreme mode, they work fine with WDS now. NV2 doesn't work with WDS yet, however. Hopefully 5.0B7 will fix that (I refuse to believe it's time for a release candidate yet!) Randy On 9/17/2010 12:35 PM, Bill

I would suggest Ubiquiti. For a for mile link you might be able to use the little integrated dishes. Worst case use the 23db panels. Cost will be less and I bet you get more performance. Don't use a Mikrotik beta for production! On Sep 17, 2010 2:35 PM, Bill Prince

You could always use two UBNT Rocket M5s too and use the dual pol antennas you have already. -Mike On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Randy Cosby dco...@infowest.com wrote: I don't think RC1 is available yet. You could run it fine with 5.0B6 or 4.11 in Nstreme mode, they work fine with WDS

I think you can just replace the horn for dual pol. Depends on the dish though. On Sep 17, 2010 3:23 PM, Richard Hatherill Jr. ri...@callrich.com wrote: I have a 10 mile Mikrotik link using a 3' and 2' dish (single polarity). Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the single polarity
