Have a 5ghz 1mile backhaul, its near-LOS. I can barley make out the tippy top of the grain leg that the antenna is on. On both sides of link I'm using 24db panels with R52's. Anyway the signal is not that hot, about -73/-74. TCP Throughput on normal 802.11a is 17.5mbps. Turn on Nstream and its around 23.5mbps. I can not go bigger antenna's or higher on either side of link. Believe me if I could I already would have. Was thinking about upgrading each side to an XR5. I'm thinking for another 6-7db improvement over what its at now. Does anyone have any experience with making a link like this work? I need 30mbps with Nstream and possibly switching to Turnbo mode and hoping for 60+mbps. Will amping each end with a pair of RFLINX amps overcome the attenuation and make the link more solid or will this cause problems?
