Hi:
I am trying to convert a point-to-point link into a point-to-multipoint
link. Our new tower is inline between two existing tower locations.
Rather than run new backhaul up one of the current towers and eat up
more spectrum I figured I could piggy-back off the existing link.
Primary end:

If it's not too much to ask, could you post, or send me a copy of that

Oops, wrong subject.
I am going to be setting up a very short range (think 300ft) 5.2GHz
link. Do you think I would have any problem using a 5.8GHz grid for this
purpose? I have several 27dBi grids in stock and I want to save some of
the install cost.

We are looking to setup a tower with a T1 rather than a wireless
backhaul. Unfortunately we can only bring the T1 in across the street. I
was thinking a routerboard with a T1 card and a wireless card to shoot
the signal across the street.
Unfortunately I have no idea if the newer routerboards supp

We have a similar setup except we don't use MT for bandwidth shaping.
When we add new clients to the Trango AP's we set the MIR to the maximum
plan we offer 1024/768 and we set the CIR to the lowest plan we offer
256/128.
This seems to work fairly well, for the most part the higher bandwidth

Hi Everybody:
We have a 5.8GHz Mikrotik backhaul running between two towers about 6
miles apart. One end is a guyed tower, the other end is a water tower.
Occasionally (typically at night) we see significant fade in the link.
Many times the fade is enough to cause the link to drop for a few

Has anybody else seen a large increase in bandwidth utilization starting
Tuesday? I did several windows updates on client's machines and each
machine had a 238MB .net update. I'm thinking this had something to do
with it but I am not sure when this patch was released.

I agree, the RB433's are very powerful, versatile, and cheap. One caveat
if you plan on using Ubiquiti XR5's though. The RF shielding on the
XR5's is so large that you can only fit two of the XR5's on the RB433.
One in the top slot, and one in the bottom. This leaves the center slot
unusable.

I'm looking to replace a 10mbps orthogon with a higher capacity link

I'd like to not use any more of the band than I am already using.

We had this exact same problem with a pair of Ubiquiti cards. Evidently
when our routerboards were programmed the power output was set to manual
and the power was set several dB over the actual output of the cards.
This ended up permanently desensitizing the card which resulted in a
