Hello Mark, 15 miles!!!!!! HAHAHAHA I wish I was so lucky. We are ecstatic if we get 2 miles with 2.4Ghz.
We can hardly do 3 miles at times with 900mhz. IIRC, 802.11 timed out at about 11 miles and StarOS had adjusted those settings. Not sure what Mikrotik has done, although nstreme may address that.
