Hey There

hoping some Mikrotik PTP / PTMP guru will be able to advise and help out with the following

at a business we currently have setup MIKROTIK WIRELESS WIRE CUBE 60GHZ BRIDGE PTP KIT WITH 5GHZ FAILOVER CubeG-5ac60adpair over an distance of 80m, which has been working great for the last couple of months.

We are now looking to create another network at a building which is approx 305m away and we were originally advised that a Single CubeG-5ac60ad on this building pointed back towards one of the above cubes (Tower) as well as reconfiguring this Tower Cube into a Level 4 License would enable this new building to receive network connectivity.

However we have now been advised that a CubeG-5ac60ay-SA would replace the Tower Cube and both of the original kit Cubes will point back to the this CubeG-5ac60ay-SA new cube.

Apologise in advance if my wording / technical understanding isn’t correct, but am hoping someone might be able advise which of the above options would be best going forward.

have googled and read a bunch of how to guides on this but would appreciate any other direction / advise on how best to proceed. side note: running cables is not an option unfortunately.

thanks in advance for your help with this

Thanks Shaun

60 GHz beam angle on ad is only 11 degrees I think, ay is 30 degrees, so for ad to be usable as an AP with L4 license you need to be able to see it within 11 degrees.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Hi, the latter plan is correct, ie use the SA product is a sector AP (has 60deg wide beam and L4 AP licence) and re jig the existing 60ad AP as a station.

Just buy another wireless wire kit - it comes pre-programmed and works out of the box.

The beamwidth is quite tight so not often worth trying to make it work unless your buying the dedicated AP model then your existing wireless wire cube radios ones could be clients of the AP but it gets tricky to do if your not used to mikrotik programming.
