I try to use 3 different Atheros minipci cards. 5211, 5212, and 5213.
When I use them in 2.4 GHz range, both card have different frequency for each channel. Is there any way to connect these different card?
that’s impossible - channel 5 will always be channel 5 no matter what card do you have.
Can you be more specific? Version of mikrotik, type and version of card, detailed firmware info (/interface wireless info print).
thnx!
Sorry that I can reply this topic just now.
on 5211 chipset, if we are doing : /interface/wireless/info
we get the list of the freq we can use, and here are :
name=“wlan2” interface-type=Atheros AR5211
supported-rates-a/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,
36Mbps,48Mbps,54Mbps
2ghz-b-channels=2412,2417,2422,2427,2432,2437,2442,2447,
2452,2457,2462,2467,2472,2512,2532,2552,2572,2592,2612,
2632,2652,2672,2692,2712,2732,2484
with 5213 :
0 name=“wlan1” interface-type=Atheros AR5213
2ghz-b-channels=
2312,2317,2322,2327,2332,2337,2342,2347,2352,2357,2362,2367,
2372,2377,2382,2387,2392,2397,2402,2407,2412,2417,2422,2427,
2432,2437,2442,2447,2452,2457,2462,2467,2472,2477,2482,2487,
2492,2497,2314,2319,2324,2329,2334,2339,2344,2349,2354,2359,
2364,2369,2374,2379,2384,2389,2394,2399,2404,2409,2414,2419,
2424,2429,2434,2439,2444,2449,2454,2459,2464,2469,2474,2479,
2484,2489,2494,2499
The custom freq for both cards are really different.
Is there any way that we can configure both card communicate in the 2.x GHz custom freq?
I think there are some problems with 5211 chipset and certain hardware.
5211 chipset doesn’t support lower custom frequencies 2.3Ghz.
You can connect both cards (5211 and 5213) in 2.4Ghz band.
5213 is a newer chipset and the card reports that it can operate in that frequency. Thays why you have more frequencies.
Note if you want to operate in the custom frequencies you should also modify the scan-list for the clients wireless card.
Uldis,
So, there is no change to connect these cards using the custom freq?
