Hi All,
We managed to deploy V3000 link at 2.1km - RSSI @ -65 and link throughput capacity of 500Mbps. We want to know if using a 5ghz fail over radio (F300-25L) will be possible. Is there a specific setting on the switch/router to avoid Loops ?
2.1 km is a very impressive link. Congratulations!
You can connect your F300-25’s to the Aux port on both v3000 units. In the v3000’s GUI, in networking, I believe…not looking at a v3000 at the moment!.. and enable the Aux port as PTP backup.
Hope this answers your question.

honestly saying, I would expect better RSSI at this distance. It is a given fact that old UBNT devices transfer full gigabit at the same distance (and much longer distances), plus much more than a gigabit with new generation of devices. 500Mbps is subpar and it doesn’t matter if it’s built-in test or real-world transfer.
Hint : try to perform re-aiming of these devices, check if you have full transmit power configured in interface. Check any obvious problems such as line-of-sight blockage, fresnel zone obstructions etc.
The main question has been answered already - yes you can use backup and avoid loops. It’s traffic either through 60GHz or the ethernet port, not via both.
In alignment mode, i.e. using maxTxPower the RSSI should be around -50dBm to -55dBm. In Channel 4, the MCS should be 12/11.
So it’s very likely you’ve lost 15dBs and connecting on a side lobe, given that you’re getting 500Mbps with RSSI -65dBm, you’re likely on MCS 4 or lower.
Please take a look at this: 60 GHz cnWave Antenna Alignment
yes the alignment was done with no scope or tube… we will re-align. Thank you for the rest.
Wow a 2.1km link by eye!
With the alignment page make sure you get close to the middle, if you’re right at the edge it’s likely a side lobe, just be patient, it takes time to scan when you’re aligning, so move and pause…
Plus make sure you’re using the latest software,1.4, it has updates to improve the timing for long range links.
Please let us know how you get on. Good luck!

yes i think that is what we realized, the moving must be paused. many thanks.
