Thank you.

The option was not available for me to create my own thread. It was greyed out.

You should be able to see the CROSS Access point (AP)

https://wind.ctwug.za.net/index.php/nodes/plot_link?subpage=plot_link&page=nodes&a_node=16778&submitbutton=OK&b_node=4448

Next steps :

  1. Get on your roof and visually confirm, take 360degree pics, upload to WIND
  2. Book the test kit in your area and do scans.
  3. Email the area Admin to guide you the rest of the way.

@TheClown Is Cross AP active? I dont see anything on WIND

Node 4448. No idea if its active, but its there.

I dont see link lines either, but why would there be an AP with no links? Perhaps the guys in that area could sort it if required.

Lapetus (#11975) is also an option , barring trees in the way…

Would be an option too, but is the sector facing in that Direction?

All good questions. His area guy will be able to answer

So we finally managed to conduct a proper test. Lapetus is what we are going for. Got good signal strength -40dbm. We can clearly see the antennas on top of the building with no obstruction. Probably coz my roof is at the same height or higher than the antennas on the park building.

So i need to order myself the MikroTik Light Head Grid 24.5dBi Dual Chain.

Anyone got a spare that i can take off your hands?
