In RouterOS v5.0beta5 there is a new wireless protocol Nv2 which is based on the TDMA.
To make the connection using Nv2 on the AP side you need to select the wireless-protocol=nv2 and on the Station side you can also select wireless-protocol 'nv2' or 'any'.
Some features are not ready yet for Nv2: no support WDS,Security,Virtual AP,some details in the registration table and status. We will optimize the Nv2 in the upcoming versions.
We would like to get some feedback from you how it is working on your wireless links. When posting, please include info on the distance of the link and settings that you have and latency.
When testing N link with Nv2 you can get approx 97Mbps UDP traffic and 94Mbs TCP traffic through RB711 in one direction using one chain.
nv2 is not compatible with Airmax.
nv2 is supported for all Atheros cards, except old AR5211 based, so in order to try it out it is not required to have 11n cards - just upgrade, set wireless-protocol=any on station (this will enable station to look for whatever protocol AP that is available with appropriate SSID), set wireless-protocol=nv2 on AP and you are ready to go. If something goes wrong change wireless-protocol on AP to nstreme/802.11 - whatever you were using before.
If "Time Synch" means some synchronization between APs, then no, nv2 does not support such feature yet. You can think of it as of improved nstreme. Its benefits are intended to come from removed polling overhead.
