Change Band on Wifi?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Is there a script that would change the band/channel when the threshold goes below the limit?

I mean we have a backbone link which is surrounded by other networks and the noise is pretty constant, but, sometimes it is just on one channel or on four channels etc.

I would like a script to modify the channel on the AP bridge side, when, for example, a signal level in Registration drops below -75. And that it keeps changing until it finds the right channel with at least -73.

I guess that the same way could be achieved that if the threshold drops below -80, it changes the Band to 2.4Ghz-B only. And maybe if the signal is -70, to 2.4GHz-G-Turbo. This last one would be hard because in that case the similar script should be on the other MT too, I guess…

Thank you

This may work but in my expirience with (troublesome) wireless you can sometimes have good signal but bad troughput or it may happen that the wireless client’s antenna moved or it’s damaged in which case AP will constantly change channel - if you happen to have more than one client you can expect problems.

I know but, it is a backbone link, only between two MT’s.

The script can work this way (dunno if it’s satisfy you):

  1. Sheduler execute it and checks for signal, if it’s too low, it change the channel to next one available
  2. Wait xxx mins/secs (no less than, let’s say 5 secs becouse wireless link needs to be established)
  3. Scheduler executes the script again, changing it to next available channel, if it’s last one start from the beggining
