Replace Wireless Interface

Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:05 pm

Hi. How can i change the wireless module on a lobometrics 912 with RB411U, that incorporates a wireless module with 100mW and one radio.

I was buy an a MikroTik MiniPCI wireless card (R52N-m) with 360mW power output and two radios with a/b/g/n support.

What are the steps I have to follow to open the lobometrics 912?

Thanks!!

I have never seen a Lobometrics device, so I can't help you. If there is a RouterBOARD inside, replacing the miniPCi is very easy. Just open the box first.

Hi. Thanks for fast response. The lobometrics are this:

If i change the default wireless card (100mW) by the new wireless card (R52N-m), maybe cause any problems to RouterBoard?


Thanks.

Hi. To remove the cover, the first step, is remove the silicone thats join the plastic to metal and remove 5 screws. This is all.

replacing wireless card will require you to apply wireless configuration again, apart from that, it won't cause any problems

Good night. I have a little problem. I bought one which came with Lobo912
a RB411U, firmware 3.30 and a wifi module CM9 100mW. Well, with this
configuration, network scanning was available to me, and was about 70.

Yesterday I decided to upgrade the board to firm 4.17, so I recognize the
R52NM card also acquired in 34Telecom. Everything went right and
recognized, but now, when scanning only detects 20 networks. I
say that the settings are exactly the same as above (Ap-
Bridge, 2.4 GHz b / g, 2442, ...).

Is it possible that the card is not working properly?. I ask
this, because the card has 2 MMCX connectors, and does not indicate what each
one. I then connected the pigtail (MMCX - N / H) to one of the connectors and me
gives this result.

Should I change to another MMCX connector wireless card, or is
there is something configured correctly?

Greetings.
