Setting an AP with Aironet PCI4800

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

A friend of mine said to me that Cisco does not allow MT to create APs with ROS. I have a Dell OptiPlex XM 590 and the card from Cisco, Aironet 4800. Planing to use an Omnidirectional antenna with it. I know that the server is an old one, but i will use it for a small area max. 30 clients.
I’m asking if this is possible?

Thank you :smiley:

Are you sure that this card is supported ?

Aironet doesn’t support AP mode, only ad-hoc and infrastructure. you have to use a Atheros card
