First, I am a mikrotik newbie. I am trying to get a RB411UAHR to connect to a DLink DIR-655
in Station mode. If I disable wireless security, it seems to connect and acquire a address via
DHCP where I can ping a remote host from the command line. but when I enable WPA Security
the RB411UAHR no longer wants to connect to the Access Point..
The log is complaining about HT Mode or rates, I have tried Mixed G/N, Mixed G/N/B, and
also WPA WPA2 only or Auto WPA / WPA2. In non secure mode it works in any of the combinations.
I am running routeros 5.13
