hAP AC2: 5GHZ is not showing

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I’m from Bangladesh. I am using hAP AC2 and cAP AC.
I have configured the hAP AC2 as main router and cAP AC as CAP.
The issue I am facing with is 5G band.

As I configured the CAP device, I am getting SSID of 5GHz band of the CAP device in my android devices.
But I’m not getting the 5GHz band SSID in my android devices from hAP AC, getting only 2.4GHz SSID. By the way, I’m getting the 5GHz SSID in my laptop.

Need assistance. I’m attaching my configuration files of Both the hAP ac2 and cAP ac devices.

If you can use 5G wireless with your PC, then generally hAP ac2 is OK. Then you have to verify that your Android devices actually support 5G wireless. If they do, then check country settings on both Android devices and RB devices… some channels are not available in all countries and in that case clients will ignore APs operating on “forbidden” channels..

3

My Android devices support 5GHz carrier.
I’m getting the ssid of 5G carrier of my cap device, but not from the hap device.
Suggest me a country that will support

4

First bet would be to use proper country setting (reflecting your actual country). Likely android devices get that information from mobile networks (if they’re mobile phones) …

Here’s my own experience. I live in Europe which means 2.4GHz channel number 13 is legal to use (it is not legal in US). When by better half got new mobile (LG G4), first thing out of box I tried to connect it to home wireless network. And the gadget simply did not detect the SSID (control channel was on channel 13). Next thing was to put in SIM card, after that it happily detected and used SSID still broadcasted on channel 13.

5

In hAP i have configured “no_country_set”
in cAp it is disabled or no value
See the image

Can I make the country option leave blank as cap??? Is there any option???

6

That is actually interesting finding! thanks for sharing. Sometime I struggle with this and I never realised it might be just a simple software adjustment.

7

Is there any way to disable country setting from wireless? Then I think it will work.

Hello friends. I have SarAC AP and the client has ldf dish antenna Signal to Noise value should be between 20-40. But my client Signal to Noise value 59 I want to lower it. I’m turning down the antenna TX POWER, but it’s still not falling. what can I do?

9

May be your signal interference is higher
Tx power reduction will not work in this scenario I think
You can change the wire used to connect the antenna, make proper groundings, to reduce noice. Sometimes it also happens for the device itself.

10

Why would you want to DECREASE SNR? Higher the better, there’s no advantage in having more noise in your signal.
