We haven't had any issues with 5GHz but the 60GHz side underwhelms. We tried a 900' link and couldn't get the 60Ghz side to work. We were able to move one end and get it down to 600' and have a 60GHz link at -55 but that is 10-15db below where it should be. It's working, but at this point I wouldn't use it for anything over 500' or so.
