Re: Problems aiming nRAY [SOLVED]

The bridge (master station) is on the left, the station-bridge (slave) on the right. I also finally found the correct search term is &q...

Re: Problems aiming nRAY [SOLVED]

Good info. I searched this forum for aiming info and the Microtik setup instructions are pretty short. I'd this stuff documented somewhere?

Re: Problems aiming nRAY [SOLVED]

Don't worry about the alignment arrows, its not the correct way to align the 60ghz products anyway...
I'm curious, what is the correct way to do this?

Re: Upgraded brand new nRAY 60G master and lost all signs of W60G radio

What you did wrong: manually upgrade by dropping package on Files. What you should have done: upgrade through CLI or Winbox, then there would have been 1 package more on your device. I tried to do it via WinBox but the delivered config. 6.xxx (can't remember the exact version) refused to perform th...
