Mikrotik LHG HP5 w/nightly build issues

I was able to flash a new LHG HP5 radio with the nightly build (7/3/19), and the hardware is recognized correctly (I see this model was added to the code after the 3.19.3 release). I am able to link to Pleasants on 174. However, I cannot seem to pass traffic outside my node. First I thought it was just DNS not working, but if I ssh into the node I cannot ping anything outside my network, even though I seem to have a "good" wireless connection. I'll attach a supportdata file if that helps. Any suggestions? Or should I just be patient and wait for a release that covers this model?

K6BAT,  the node has all the right routing information and tables to function -- nothing is jumping out.   Can you paste back an example ping that it is not working?  Alternatively, privately send me a temp password on the node, I can remotely access over the SoCal mesh and directly see what's going on.

I cannot seem to ping anything outside the node over the link. Trying to ping KE6BXT-PleasantsPk-RM5-SW.local.mesh, my nearest neighbor.

Update: Joe logged in and saw my distance setting was set a few miles too low, and I was seeing major packet loss. Now that distance is set to "auto" everything seems just fine. I know what the distance setting is for, but didn't know quite what a huge difference it can make, especially if set too low! Thanks Joe!
