The maximum recommended distance is 1.5km. Although it is technically possible to use them on longer distances, performance would be very unpredictable.
In good environments and with properly aligned antennas you should be able to achieve maximum capacity at 1.5km. Bear in mind that 60GHz is highly susceptible to weather conditions and the longer your link the more fluctuation you can expect.
Thank you it worked excellent @2,4 GHz with 2 tiny HAP, one AC Lite and Lite the other one. Those tiny boxes pull up to 40 Mbps under test with Iperf !!
Thank you for this video. Maybe you can answer the question of why we can only connect to these devices when the computer is on the same subnet as the device? This is something I cannot seem to sort out. When I used the default factory configuration, I could connect to the Slave device from any of my VLANs, but for the Master device I was only able to connect it from the same subnet (VLAN) of the "bridge" interface. It would be wonderful to be able to connect from any of my other VLANs. It is not a networking issue in our environment. The VLANs I am referring to have total access to each other
Thank you, it was really helpful! For some reason the nv2 password was not exported (or imported), so the link kept disconnecting until I manually entered it to the station-bridge.
How precise does the alignment need to be on a MikroTik nRAY 60GHz? I'm trying to establish a link at 710m, but the antennas aren't visible to each other (I have line of sight). I can adjust the direction easily, but the issue is the tilt because the antennas are mounted on poles and aren't easily accessible without removing them. Do you have any ideas on the best approach for this? Tnx

Hi. Sir. Timhow are you., I have a ptp using two ldf ac and after the ldf cpe i use a switch but very often the ethernet drop when it drop I have to reboot server router is give the ethernet I have all how you had said ., what do you think
Hi, I'm trying to setup the same type of bridge network using RB450s, however, there's some wireless settings you've change here that aren't present on RB450. May you please demonstrate how you'd accomplish this using the RB450? Thanks.
Create a bridge on both sides and just add the Ethernet interfaces instead of wlan. Ignore the wireless settings completely. The IP address configuration is optional.
We will definitely take it into consideration. In the interim take a look at this MUM presentation from a few years ago. It explains how it works with some examples - mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/EU18/presentation_5153_1523259158.pdf
Hello I have Mikrotik wap ac antena and I would like to connect this antena to wifi on my router and connect antena to my pc with cable, can you help me with settings. thank you
We recommend adding an IP address to both bridge interfaces for management purposes but strictly speaking, it isn’t necessary for the link to function.
Hi, maybe You can help me i have LHGG-60AD, and the distance is 600m. Connection is really solid but i cant get more than 100mb/s. Where is problem, what should i check to get 300mb/s. Bandwitch test show me 950/950 🤔
If you are using the bandwidth test built into RouterOS from LHG-LHG, it doesn’t take the Ethernet into account. Make sure your Ethernet ports are syncing at 1Gbps, and if not, check your cable, connectors and PoE injectors. If they are all working as they should, it could be a hardware problem on one of the LHG Ethernet ports.
Thank you for the reply . I have always used Ubiquity equipment and have come to rely heavily on their alignment tool. Can you maybe elaborate on how to align Mikrotik radios properly. Does it have the some form of alignment tool ?
There are alignment modes that can be enabled to assist with this: wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Align wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/W60G#Align Our suggestion would be to do a link plan using their calculator which will give you a better idea of what to aim for when doing the alignment.
Hi Tim, I have a directional LHG LTE pointing to tower, feeds into my router. Challenge is I have 2 houses on the same premises, I have another 18dBi mikrotik CPE and a Ubiquity Powerbeam CPE... How can I bridge the mikrotik and ubiquity CPE's ? The distance between the houses is 70m with direct LOS.
It is possible to bridge most non-MikroTik devices using the station-pseudobridge wireless mode with 802.11 as the wireless protocol in RouterOS. In the case of Ubiquiti, if the CPE is the older M-Series, this will work as you can disable airMAX, but if it's an AC model, unfortunately, this isn’t possible. airMAX is a proprietary protocol that will only work with other Ubiquiti airMAX devices, much like MikroTik’s NV2.
Why one end has wireless mode to bridge while the other end has station bridge? In station bridge mode less wireless stats are available (Tx/Rx signal level only shown in bridge mode)
'station-bridge' mode is a proprietary Mikrotik configuration to overcome limitations in the 802.11 protocol and is necessary for wireless bridge configurations. wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wireless_Station_Modes#802.11_limitations_for_L2_bridging
...nice, nice, but...If you do not need an IP on the bridge, simply don't set it! But if you decide to set it, it definitely should not be in the same subnet as all the other traffic....
Should I be trusting the informatio from someone who can not even pronounce mikrotik (my-crow-tick) correctly, and no its not the S.A. pronunciation , and for those who dispute this, just watch Mikrotik's own videos.
Hi Tim, how many km can the 60GHZ do? I am planning to try on a 3.5KM
The maximum recommended distance is 1.5km. Although it is technically possible to use them on longer distances, performance would be very unpredictable.
@@scoop_distribution Hi Tim at 1.5 km exactly the throughput should be 100% of capability ??

Thanks for the excellent video! Short and to the point, it really helped me out configuring a P2P bridge on two MikroTik devices.

Hi, weird question, but what's the brand model of that ethernet dock used on that Macbook? I've been struggling to find one exactly like that...
Hello! It's this one:

Hello I have Mikrotik wap ac antena and I would like to connect this antena to wifi on my router and connect antena to my pc with cable, can you help me with settings. thank you
You can use 'Station-Pseudobridge' mode on the WAP-AC if your wifi router is not Mikrotik. This mode is designed for bridging to non RouterOS devices.
What is the range and orientation of the devices?
This was just done on the test bench but naturally distances in real world situations are device dependent.
One thing that is not added is the ip, should you apply a ip on the bridge for both and also should you add a ip on the station ether 1? (wap60)

Please do a video with 60Ghz with 5Ghz back up radio. Thx!
Do not leave your wAP60 frequency to “auto” we had one work fine for two weeks then started bouncing hunting the best frequency

Hi Enis, Thanks for your comment. This largely depends on your network design requirements. Our example is designed to be very basic.
