Suitable client for HamWAN?
Hello all, I have a Mikrotik panel that works as a HamWAN client, it is this specific model: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911G-5HPnD-QRT Currently, the various vendors who we can purchase International versions from do not have that panel in stock, but do offer this panel: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911G-5HPacD-QRT The product information available online for the second panel says it is 802.11 a/c and is backwards compatible with 802.11 a/n. I am not able to find any reference to it supporting nv2. Does anyone know if the .5HPacD-QRT panel (international version of course) can be used as a HamWAN client? Thank you, Carl Leon, N7KUW carl@n7kuw.com <mailto:carl@n7kuw.com>
It'll support 802.11n, but not 802.11n @ 10MHz bandwidth. Mikrotik never released drivers for AC chipsets to go narrower than 20MHz, that's why we use the N chipset modems. --Bart On 12/30/2023 4:33 PM, Carl Leon wrote:

Would migrating the sectors to use a 20MHz bandwidth increase the number of MikroTik models available and thus help work around the intermittent supply shortages? 73, Steve Bart Kus wrote on 12/31/23 05:47:

Yes. It would also break the network at a few sites by stepping on colocated WISP traffic. --Bart On 12/31/2023 6:12 AM, Steve - WA7PTM wrote:
