This is Mikrotik newb stuff. I have been using and setting up MikroTiks for my customers for about 12 months now. I love them. I have never had any issues with any of the devices wireless setups.
I just purchased a bunch of OmniTIK's for a customer's large shop. He has a RB2011UAS-2HnD that i setup for his internet gateway, then the plan is to put the OmniTIK's in the shop area for complete wireless coverage. All OmniTIK's have ethernet cat 6 backbone ran. They are connected to network fine. I can winbox to them, the default firewall rule has been removed... DHCP server disabled... but for the life of me i cannot get any of the OmniTIKS to broadcast SSID. I took one off the network and have it hear on my bench... start from complete scratch and cant get any of our N capable devices to see the SID.
Here is my config
thanks in advance.

I am going to setup the mesh as illustrated at the bottom of the page.
Question is… should the OmniTik be able to be used as a simple AP? Should the default MikroTik SSID be able to be seen when the OmniTik is straight out of the box? I am missing something.
I would start off by specifying the wireless protocol to 802.11 and most likely you will also want to set the encryption to aes rather than tkip. I also don’t see your ssid in the export, but that could be due to the unspecified protocol.
Thank you Sir,
That didn't seem to make a difference.
I am using 2 different laptops that have N capable cards and a droid phone with a wireless analyzer that should see all the 5GHZ channels.
Here is my new config.... i am stumped.

It looks like droid razr, and my particular intel wireless card the 6150 are not 5GHZ compatible. The intel card says b/g/n for only 2.4 channel… that blows.
The question is… are any of the laptops in this customers service trucks (use wireless in shop area) really 5GHZ compatible.
So now i know why people all over the forums are saying 2.4 please … this blows. Makes me think twice when using mikrotik for installs… i know i know, its my fault for not investigating ahead of time… but damn, why would it only do 5GHZ when it should do 2.4 also… hahaha.
And, what is a good mikrotik alternative? that will do 2.4?
Just got a Linksys N600 USB wireless adapter, still cant see any broadcast from the Omni. What else could i try? can someone look at my config? I’m surprised i haven’t gotten more response on this forum.
Now i know its the OmniTik.
Using this new N600 USB adapter i can connect to a UBEE router that is broadcasting 5GhZ
Below are the settings of the UBEE… question is why cant i get the Omnitik to show up
