I configured a Routerboard 512 with an SR2 & SR5. Connected pigtails, LMR, antenna, etc on the ground and tested everything. Everything was working fine until the equipment made it to the top of the tower and got mounted. Now when I login with Winbox, the only interface that shows up is the Ethernet interface. It acts as if there are no wireless cards inserted into the board. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have seen a posting on another list that when the antenna are connected (which are grounded), there interfaces don’t show up. But if they don’t connect the antenna – then the interfaces are seen.
If this is true, somebody should send such a set up to Ubiquiti so that they can test it. I will ask Uldis to see if he can reproduce this.
This issue seemed to be related to a bad U.FL pigtail. When I replaced the pigtail on the SR5, the system started booting properly and showing the wireless cards.
