802.11n enabled in rc7?

RouterOS General

with a XR9 installed on a 133c, running 3.0rc7 when I go to see what bands are available, this is what i see:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface wireless> set wlan1 band=
2.4ghz-b    2.4ghz-g-turbo  2ghz-10mhz  2ghz-5mhz  5ghz-10mhz  5ghz-5mhz   
2.4ghz-b/g  2.4ghz-onlyg    2ghz-11n    5ghz       5ghz-11n    5ghz-turbo

[admin@MikroTik] /interface wireless> set wlan1 band=2ghz-11n 
bad band and/or channel, see 'wireless info' for supported channels
[admin@MikroTik] /interface wireless>

now I am not surprised it didn’t let me set a XR9 to operate in 802.11n mode, but I am rather surprised to see it listed as an option.

does this mean that if any of us can actually get our hands on a 11n card, it will work?

no, it will actually work when MT will announce that it is working, these are just preliminary settings and support in console and it is not backed up with drivers and actual functionality.

IMHO MT should put this as separate package for testing, because they are closing on “final” stages of 3.0 release. Better now when it is still beta or rc.

I would tend to agree. a seperate wireless package for 802.11n would be nice as I would not have to worry if they broke something that was working great…
