Replace the Nanos with rocket/airmax sectors ASAP, or put mikrotiks back. You lose MASSIVE signal by using pigtails with the NS gear, thus the invention of the Bullets. I have used high quality 23dbi flatpanels with a NS5 once and it only got 1db better than the internal antenna; all due to the pigtail path through the nanostation.
