I purchased a couple of brand new SXT lite’s, I took them out to a new install, did a scan as normal so that I could lock onto the ap with the best signal and all the SXT picked up on the scan was personal routers. After an hour of checking and re-checking settings I was never able to see any of my A.P.'s.
We use a script to program all CPE’s and I loaded the exact script onto a r/b711 2HnD with an itelite mimo antenna and it worked perfectly. I have tried the SXT Lite on multiple towers and AP’s now and still have the same problem. I do not have this issue with the regular SXT’s only the LITE model.
Are you sure you have the correct SXT model? There are two - 2GHz and 5GHz model. If all you see if local home routers, maybe you have the 2GHz SXT and your own APs are 5GHz ?
I can confirm this. We received 4 of the new SXT lights this week and they all exhibit the same thing you describe, we tried with the latest 5.24 and FW and downgraded a few versions also with the same results.
When you do a scan in 10Mhz channel width the SXT r2 2nD will only show 20Mhz access points but will show them on 10 to 12 10Mhz channels. So it will show a single 20Mhz AP taking up the entire 2.4Ghz spectrum and won’t show a single AP that is actually set to 10Mhz channel width.
With 6.0R13 they still won’t connect to any of our AP’s but they don’t have the issue of showing a 20Mhz AP operating on 10-12 Mhz channels.. We are just going to RMA these as we don’t have time to deal with it. I guess I should learn not to buy anything from MT until it has been out for 6 months or so.
I did upgrade the lite to the latest V6rc but the SXT still won’t associate to our 5.x 10Mhz AP’s and we really don’t trust using RC for a production network so we have no plans of moving our AP’s to RC at this point in time.
Will V6 not associate to V5?
Do you have plans on releasing a fix for these to work with V5?
Seems odd that you would ship these with V5.22 installed when they clearly won’t work.
Small channel feature is only suppored on certain devices, as it stands, SXT lite is not one of them. A workaround is included in v6, if you really need it.
I am using RB433 with the Mikrotik 2Hn radio’s running 5.14. I just received a batch of STX Lite 2’s and when trying to connect them it would only scan and connect to 20mhz channels. I was a bit baffled. Then after some forum searching saw this post and downloaded the current 6.x beta to the STX Lite 2 and it then could scan, connect and work normally. On a 10mhz vertical pol system.
The reason I am using it in this configuration is that I plan to replace most of my close range units with the Lite 2’s and eventually change out the ap to support dual chain. But at the moment I have a mixed system with not a lot of cash to just upgrade everything at once.
This will also free up some arc wireless antenna/enclosures with RB411/rb711’s for longer range service connecting to several ap’s that I have on mountain tops.
We have still be unable to get these to connect to our AP’s running on 10Mhz Channels, our AP’s are all running some version of 5.xx and have tried on AP’s running 5.24 also. I have sent in support files from one of the AP’s and one of the SXT lites but have not heard anything back yet. Is there any chance you could check into it for me? If we don’t figure it out soon I need to get them RMAed.
hello
i have purchased 2 sxt lite 2 2,4Ghz
default config, or no config at all log in via MAC and winbox
i cant scann my network
i have ap on 2m side by side, sxt lite 2 cant see him, WTF ?
6.29.1 sw version, and another i try upgrade to 6.33.3, the same
scann freq is working.. i see my ap and usage, snooper also
Maybe the AP runs at some frequency not supported in your “regulatory domain: Croatia”? Did you try other wireless modes? What config does the AP have?
i have multiple mikrotik ap on b/g 802.11 493ah 435g etc
now i buyed 2x sxt2 lite hap lite
default config, or no config b/g/n dont see any network
my config b/g or g only 2422mhz to 2462mhz protocol 802.11
at home i have 2 ap asus brand b/g/n 2.4ghz at 2412mhz CH1 cant see network
i try everything, and figure out that sxt2 lite see only when i set to N only
sxt become with 6.29.1 sw, i try one upgrade to 6.33.3 and to last RC version, the same
only i see that freq usage is working ( i see on my channel where is b/g or g-only traffic)
and wireless snopper is working
any sugestions?
out of box and not working, and seller http://www.pro-ping.hr/webshop/ has a policy that once again I have to pay shipping costs to him and again back to me with working devices.
