Wifi AP

Wed Jan 07, 2015 2:35 am

Hello Everyone,
We bought for testing in company office RB OmniTIK UPA-5HnD firmware 6.24. I got basic setup done. And wifi access point show up, but some devices don't see access point at all.

How possible troubleshoot that problem ?

Example
Laptop Dell E6430
[user@vm ~]$ lspci | grep Broad
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[user@ca01nlap00] > /interface wireless print 
Flags: X - disabled, R - running 
 0  R name="wlan" mtu=1500 mac-address=4C:5E:0C:67:4C:05 arp=enabled interface-type=Atheros AR92xx mode=ap-bridge ssid="ap-031" 
      frequency=auto band=5ghz-a/n channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-above scan-list=default,wlan_list wireless-protocol=802.11 
      wds-mode=disabled wds-default-bridge=none wds-ignore-ssid=no bridge-mode=enabled default-authentication=yes 
      default-forwarding=yes default-ap-tx-limit=0 default-client-tx-limit=0 hide-ssid=no security-profile=netlab_pr01

From outdoor 2GHz devices: Groove or Metal is a single chain smaller device. Netmetal has two or three chains. SXT 2 has integrated antenna. the "-SA" models have 90deg antenna, and can be used as sectors.

I though about this RB912UAG-2HPnD-OUT 802.11g/n that I can use also 3g/4G for fail-over connection. I am just trying build test lab where will be in use mix AP to accommodate different wireless clients.
