Mikrotik 60GHz PTP is great. PtMP is tricky. The chipset really isn’t designed for that, but we are doing it. The trick is to use a previous firmware, not the latest. I like the latest long term release for 60GHz PtMP. Otherwise there are lots of drops and disconnects; which oddly is what in the release notes says the later/latest versions fix, but it does not. Also not loading them up to 8 clients, maybe keep them at 4-5 clients.
That’s my 2 cents.

I've never been able to get a full gig out of the B24s, but I think the shortest link I've done with them is around a mile and a half. 60ghz shouldn't have any problems at a half mile...

We use it at shorter ranges, so not sure what max distance is. Seems to be able to do 1Gbps one direction at any given time, not sure if it’s FDX. We don’t load them up though, just handling regular 100-200Mbps daily peak traffic on some sites where we need clean backhaul transport and smaller footprint than Airfiber for example.
