RouterOS Wireless Networking

Having an issue with an AP setup… the units will sync up at 2.4ghz-B (which I assume eats 20mhz … which is a NO where my gear is at..) but I need the 2ghz-5mhz choice…

CPE is running v. 3.3, and AP is running 3.0rc4 … is it possible that it is the cards?

they seem to pass traffic fine with 2.4ghz-B selected but when both are setup to 2ghz-5mhz I cannot do a “survey” to see what is available to connect to…

Is there a reason that you have not updated to the latest stable release of RouterOS? I have a new POP that is 3.6 and the clients are from 3.4 to 3.7 and it is working very well at 2Ghz-5Mhz.

no idea yet :wink: i’ll give it a shot this evening.

thanks

Basically what I have is …

Mikrotik Gateway/Router/PPPoE Concentrator → Dry Pair p2p 15mbit DSL → switch → PS5 ↔ PS5 → switch → RB333 on XR9 → to CPE…

I cannot ping from the gateway to the CPE however the CPE can ping the gateway ?? Anyone run into an issue like this?

Basically the RB333 (ap bridge) is in bridge mode ether1 and wlan1 … then the CPE is setup (RB411) (setup in station mode) is setup in bridge mode ether1 to wlan1 etc.

I’m pulling my hair out here …

You can’t bridge on the CPE side…

you need to use station-psuedobridge or station-wds.
