limit access list poor signal strength clients

RouterOS General
1

Hello forum,

I would like configure the access-list to deny association to clients with a signal strength below -80.

I have tried this configuration but it does not work:

0 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-95.-80
authentication=no forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key=“” private-pre-shared-key=“”


Can someboy help-me?

Thanks

Use noise floor threshold.

Hello,

I have change this option:
set wlan1 noise-floor-threshold=-80

But the clients with worst signal are connected still.

What version of ROS are you using?

Hello,

I use the last version.

And this is the configuration that should works.
I am going to try this weekend.

  1. In the access list:

I have to set ‘default-authentication=no’, as clients will not use access-list entries, unless default-authentication is enabled.

As well I have to add second rule to access-list (additionally to my original rule with -95..-80), that allows client with acceptable signal to associate.

1.1 0 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-95.-80
authentication=no forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key=“” private-pre-shared-key=“”

1.2 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-80.0
authentication=yes forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key=“” private-pre-shared-key=“”

  1. Noise-floor-threshold is supported only by few old wireless chipsets, that’s why access-list configuration is more recommended one.
