How to enable superchannel for LHGG-60ad Lvl.3?

Mon Feb 10, 2020 10:24 am

Hi,
LHGG-60ad Lvl.3 came only with few frequencies and can not change the mode from "Bridge" to "AP bridge".
If I upgrade my LHGG-60ad to Lvl.4, would superchannel option be available and open more frequencies?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Salih

60GHz devices have no superchannel, this is not WiFi standard device.

Thanks for your reply. However, I can't find the "Region" parameter.

As you can see,
""
Regions
MikroTik 802.11ad devices supports frequency range: 57240 MHz - 67080 MHz, frequency and channel use can be limited if "region" parameter is used.

Region lower frequency upper frequency usable channels
USA 57.05 GHz 71.00 GHz 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Canada 57.05 GHz 64.00 GHz 1, 2, 3
Asia 57.05 GHz 64.00 GHz 1, 2, 3
EU 57.05 GHz 66.00 GHz 1, 2, 3, 4
Japan 57.05 GHz 66.00 GHz 1, 2, 3, 4
Australia 57.05 GHz 66.00 GHz 1, 2, 3, 4
China 59.00 GHz 64.00 GHz 2, 3

I need more explinations if you don't mind.

Ye, I think you missing some key points in your quote


A) MikroTik 802.11ad devices supports frequency range: 57240 MHz - 67080 MHz - In other words, the hardware supports only that frequency range
B) frequency and channel use can be limited if "region" parameter is used - In other words if you live in China, for example, you can set the region to that and have only channel 2 & 3 available.

By default Mikrotik support channel 1,2,3 and if you alter scan-list you get access to channel 4. Currently there seems no way to use any further frequencies

Thanks for your reply.

However, changing the region to USA or no-region-set, this should open the frequencies 1,2,3,4,5,6 as mentioned in the manual website.
Unfortunately, I have only 4 frequencies available only even after set region to the USA.
I think there is still something missing here, isn't it?

""
[A*****@MikroTik] /interface w60g> print

neither no-region-set nor USA, are showing the 6th frequencies:
USA 57.05 GHz 71.00 GHz 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
as shown in the manual website https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/W60G

No.

The manual is showing what allowed by region's, by their regulars.

Mikrotiks software or chipset only operates to channel 5 (66000) as its highest channel

Still I had 4 frequencies not 5

66000 is only available via command line. /int w60g set frequency=66000 0

you may also need to add it in the scan-list to connect

Could future RouterOS versions support all 6 standard channels (ch5 = 66960 MHz, ch6 = 69120 MHz) where allowed?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ad says "Future opening up of 66-71GHz recommended" for the EU and "Expected to open up 64-71GHz in late 2021" for Canada.
Or is this a real hardware limit? Does it apply to all hardware, even more recent like wAP60Gx3? If the US has already allowed 6 channels since 2016, I doubt anyone would design chips limited to only 4 (and a half) of them. The antenna might not be optimally tuned for higher frequencies, but they have less attenuation in the air.
