Interesting, is the device really not reachable during this time?
Also probably unrelated, but please upgrade RouterOS to 6.26

Check the cable and utp connectors. 3 days ago I had one SXT with the same problem and the cable from the switch to SXT was bad and was only 1m long. I had change it and is working now. No matter what profesionals installed. Take it down and try it with an factory made patch cable.

Hi and thank u all for ur attention.The device gives me
timed out during link down and up (1 link down&up = 1 timed out )
im afraid to update firmware because of reconfiguring the setting !
all of my cables are factory made expect that one from Router to POE that is CAT5e and handly made.
any idea?

As suggested before i would replace the cables just to make sure then as i see your CCQ is low for such signal maybe the signal is too powerful try to lower the TX signal if you have dual chains try to disable chain 1 and post back an image .
can you print out your wireless configuration as well ?

and upgrading your firmware wouldnt affect our settings i would recommend 6.25 as most stable with no issues so far for me .

It could be a bad PoE injector. I have had power supply issues that make odd things happen.

the CCQ and configuration is seen as the picture.
How to disable chain 1? where is it?
Any idea?

Yea look in the ht tab in wireless interface and uncheck chain 1 both of them don't forget to align your sxt cause on mode 802 is sensitive plus if other clients have bad signal on the ap it could affect other users too

There is no value of signal levels for chain 1. It looks like device doesn't have more than 1 chain enabled so there is nothing to be disabled in addition . Signal levels show good alignment. The bad negotiations of ethernet speeds are either problem of cabling or ports on one of the sides. I would try to put some dumb switch in between to check what it does and which side is bad. Than change the wiring or one of involved devices. You can also try to fix the speed by switching off autonegotiations on both sides. Maybe ethernet on other side is going to powersafe mode or to wake on lan mode. This would change the speed to 10mbits too. You have to investigate more...

The problem is common when it comes unstable voltage on the power supply , if the cable UTP / FTP is good then you try to put a stabilized UPS Surge supply before Poe.
