Want to confirm are these two Mikrotik Device compatible with each other point to point SXT Lite 5 and Metal 5SHPn. Any compatibility issue by which performance drops or Pings fluctuates too much?


My requirement is low latency and stability for hosting Game server.

The best solution is use the same devices for uptimal speed

SXT = 2X2 mimo = more speed
Metal 5SHPn = 1X1 mimo = less speed

you mean Metal 5SHPn combination with SXT Lite5 not a good solution for Point to Point and SXT Lite5 with Metal 5SHPn not optimized.

What you mean by less speed Port Speed bandwidth or throughput High latency?

Both devices are good for this.
SXT means more speed because it use 2X2 chains
The metal used 1X 1 chains.
What is the distance between point a and b?

Reduce the output power from both devices.
You must be a signal -60 dB maximum
Have you by SXT deselect chain 1 by wireless HT?
You should better performance with a both sites SXT because SXT works with 2X2 chains and metal 1X1 chain
Or a both sites a metal device (you must the same chains.
You must to have the same number of chains.
Otherwise you're with holes in your link.That explains the ping test

I see interference on link (transmit ccq)

Look on another channel for better performance.

But if u use the same devices on both sites the performance word by better.

Sorry that i repeat myself but that is true

I see TTL=62 in ping output. It means that the ping goes thru more devices so it is not direct ping between the directly connected devices. Beware of that.

Overkill can result in bad performance.
The signal from the devices can disturb itselfs
Normall can you connect via winbox
