Secondary-channel?

Hello, does anyone know what the /interface wireless set 0 secondary-channel setting does? It only appears in Winbox under virtual APs.
I could not find any info on this setting in mikrotik wiki.
Thanks

That wiki article is from 2013 but this secondary-channel setting wasn’t available in 2013. Atleast according to my testing. I have a device running 6.39.2 and it does not have this setting but for example devices with 6.42.5 do have this setting.

Anyone?

It looks like a release-client only feature at the moment.

I just noticed the same thing on a device I was testing v6.43rc42 and did the same as you, google searched, found my 802.11n article from 2013 and then came to the forums to see if anyone else had info :slight_smile:

The only info I could find was in the changelog:

*) winbox - added "secondary-channel" setting to wireless interface if 80 MHz mode is selected;

No hints in terminal

rx-chains -- 
scan-list -- Set of channel frequencies that will be used by device.
secondary-channel -- 
security-profile -- 
ssid -- Name that identifies wireless network.

MikroTik folks, any info on what this actually does?

/interface wireless set 0 secondary-channel=auto

hmm, 80Mhz+80Mhz (wave2), sound like something accidentally or intentionally slipped out about some unannounced, soon to be released hardware.
Exited!!! :smiley:

I’m Excited!
