I’m sorry for the question (may be I was bad in googling) but I can’t find any solution on the internet, so decided to ask here.
I have RBD52G-5HacD2HnD. And I have an old TV with wifi module that not supports 80 MHz channel width on 5 GHz, so my current max channel with is 40 MHz. My router’s wifi configured as single WiFi network. And my Mikrotik connect devices to 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi band automatically (depends on signal strength).
The question: is there any way to force connect my TV to 2.4 GHz WiFi band?
Thanks!
You have the “Access List” where you can add the MAC address of the TV and then not granting “Authentication” for that MAC address of the TV on the 5 GHz WLAN interface.
You could also add an extra (virtual) WLAN and SSID for the 2.4GHz band, where the TV connects to. (But this creates another SSID in the 2.4 GHz with the added AP beacons overhead on the channel). As that SSID does not exist in 5 GHz there is no confusion for the TV.
I think that a 40 MHz client should connect to a 80 MHz Mikrotik AP. (Negotiating the bandwidth, as the setting in the AP is 20/40/80)
