[OpenWrt-Devel] QCA9994 outdoor 13km link

[support at maxnet.al]

This is long distance, 5km with 4 dishes on each side. They are all vertical and all chains have signal range -60 to -65. 




I don't have omni antennas. Is there a problem that i am using dishes?

Is this short distance or long?

Please try short distance with omni antenna first to make sure you are not hitting the delayed-ack issue
or problems with your antenna.

Change your antenna orientation so that they point in different directions.

Thanks,
Ben
