Hi, I have two Panasonic CF29s wich both have old Intel 2915abg cards with the latest 9.0.4.39 drivers and a RB951ui2Hnd + a hAP Lite with Wireless set as AP Bridge on channels 1 and 11, B\G\N, security WPA2 and WPA1 AES only and I can’t connect to the wifi with these two laptops. The log shows rep…

Hello, It has nothing to do with ROS compatibility as Mikrotik and your laptops follow 802.11 standards. Probably a config issue. Check if they can connect to other APs. Regards Sent from Tapatalk

Add. And if other clients connect to the RB. Sent from Tapatalk

Yes, multiple other clients are connected just fine, including other Intel WiFi cards (HP and Dell laptops), everything is ok. Yes, the Panasonics do connect to my Blackberry Dtek50 mobile hotspot. Yes, the Panasonics did work just fine on the old TP-Link router I removed. The Panasonics run Wi…

Hmmm. Gotta love those issues. Dumb question: have you set the AP to 11n only??? Sent from Tapatalk

That was the first thing I checked, it’s B/G/N. Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

Does having 20/40 MHz width selected in wireless settings and manual channel affect G protocol? Isn’t 40 MHz used only by N devices?

Indeed, 40MHz is for 11n (and 11ac) only. It has no effect for a/b/g. This being said, I would not recommend using 40MHz in your network unless you live deep in the woods by yourself with no competing wifi networks. The 802.11 standard states that in case of interference between two 11n wifi networ…

Hi, Hmm, indeed the location is filled with signals from other APs on almost all channels being a large courtyard with multiple businesses. Maybe the AP does revert back to 20Mhz when it detects interference and somehow affect the old B\G clients. I do want stability over speed, so I will set the…

I’d possibly try a later version of RouterOS. 6.37.5 included the below: *) wireless - improved compatibility with Intel 2200BG wireless card; Not the same card I know. But the same generation so worth a try I’d say.

Yes, it’s worth a shot. It’s always good to keep current as bugs are fixed and functionalities added. I’d have to do more reading, but when they talk about hardware compatibility, I think they mean within ROS, for extra hardware support for the X86 plateform (as a router). I took a look at your co…

Mikrotik incompatible with Intel 2915ABG wifi card?

From recollection it was a client side issue introduced in 6.37.x:
