5.21 and NV2 wireless protocol security profile doesn't work

Hello I’m trying NV2 wireless protocol with 5.21 OS one RB411U with a R52Hn configured like AP Bridge (bridged):

 0 R name="wlan1_R52Hn" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:??:??:?? arp=enabled 
      interface-type=Atheros 11N mode=ap-bridge ssid="MySSid" frequency=5200 
      band=5ghz-onlyn channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-below scan-list=default 
      wireless-protocol=nv2 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=yes security-profile=MySecurity compression=no

and one CPE RB411 with 5.21 OS a R52Hn configured like Station Bridge (bridged):

  0  R name="wlan1_R52Hn" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:??:??:?? arp=enabled 
      interface-type=Atheros 11N mode=station-bridge ssid="MySSid" 
      frequency=5200 band=5ghz-onlyn channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-below 
      scan-list=default wireless-protocol=nv2 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=default
      compression=no

AP security-profile
security-profile=MySecurity compression=no
CPE security-profile
security-profile=default

I read that NV2 protocol doesn’t support hyde SSID, so if I own a Mikrotik device and I scan for available Mikrotik APs and I try to connect without security, my device associates with AP. Of course, in a real world there will be a radius server and other security systems, but I find it strange that there isn’t provided a minimun of security some like in 802.11, any ideas?

read wiki http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Nv2#Security_in_Nv2_network
Nv2 protocol ignores security-profile setting

You set the security under the nv2 tab in the wireless interface.

RTFM the wireless security PSK settings are ignored. The Radius settings for authentication under Wireless Security are obeyed no mater the MAC used.

Ok next time read the manual :smiley:
