Channel / Frequency
I have setup 4 CPE210's for AREDN use. Each CPE210 is facing a cardinal direction. My question is, can they all be on -2 or do I need to change the channel for each one so they have some seperation?

Thank you

Hi, Michael:

This is not a recommendation, but to answer your question... you may leave them on the same channel.
If you set the location (lat/long) and configure Link Quality Manager, you can let them route via DtD instead of RF.

Channels should be be non-overlapping.

I wish you had asked a question about 4 CPE510s or 5 GHz devices.

I had asked the question
I had asked the question about the switch but deleted it as it was user error.

As far as not recommended, do you mean having 4 cpe210's 90 degress apart or the channels overlapping.

I am seeing DtD links in the dashboard.

Thank you,
Michael

not recommended, do you mean
"not recommended, do you mean"

Hi, Michael:

I mean I do not recommend 2.4 GHz for outdoor linking...especially multiple devices at the same site on 2.4 GHz.
On 2.4 GHz there is only 1 exclusive Amateur Radio channel available...and only at 1/2 standard bandwidth.

On 5.8 GHz there are several 20 MHz bandwidth channels exclusively Amateur Radio.

I gotcha. I wanted to dive in
I gotcha. I wanted to dive in and do plan on adding 5GHz to the mix.

Thank you,
