scan list format changed in v6.x!

RouterOS General
1

Anybody aware that since v6 ros the scan list notician 5500,5550,5600 (notice the “,”)is not longer possible?
The only accepted format is now a “-” or a single frequency.

So in the given example now you have to write “5500-5600” to cover the 3. With the side effect ROS now scans all frequencies in-between which creates extra delays in re-connects or time finding the to-be-associated-with AP

This is specially delaying association of CPE where many (50+) stations are talking to one AP working in NV2 mode. Sometimes a CPE won’t even find the ‘to-be-associated-with’ AP in reasonable time and you need to help it by setting only the one frequency.

Why is this removed?
And can it be corrected back in v6.3 please!

you can add that like : 5100-5400
or you can add by drop down button

you can also add only require frequency in scan list by the commnad

int wire set wlan1 scan-list=default,fre1,fr2,fre3

its works fine in 6.X also

Hmm, nice quick answers.
I’d like the drop down solution. That works fine and quick.
I have no time now to study the new channel scan setting…

Thanks.
