Problem with 900 is the lack of spectrum. Most fast equipment uses 10 to 20MHz. In 900 there is only a total of 26MHz. The fastest solution on the market is to use an XR9 card in 5 or 10MHz mode. 5MHz in a MikroTik unit can give you 5-6Mbit effective throughput without Nstream. Canopy is second

Some of our issues were related to having a tech support tech install the waveguides on the ODU's... this was all done before I arrived though. I don't think they should be there at all... that is my argument. I don't understand the why... when many other manufactures don't need to do it.
