Using winbox and default settings as i am new to this device and networking in general.

I would like to turn off wireless for the time being how do i do this.

I have tried to disable wlan and when i do all of my machines lose internet connection.

Also i have been looking thru settings and im yet to find a setting that allows me to change my wireless transmit power. is there one ?

thanks in advance

Open the Interfaces menu and choose "Wlan1", then click "Disable".

Ok when i do that what happens is the entire network stops responding. Dose it require anything else ?

if your users are connecting to wireless, of course they will disconnect if you disable wireless.

ok right now i have 3 machines all on lan using ports 2,3 and 4 i have nothing connected to wireless. When i disabled wireless the device routes me to my modem ip address on all of my lan computers. It seems to be bypasing the device when i disable wlan and trying to assign me an ip directly from my modem.

Please type "/export compact" in the terminal window, copy the output, and paste here. We will see why that happens

Did you check which interfaces are added to your bridge? I am not sure but If wlan1 is the only interface in your bridge then this may be the reason.

Edit: All these are temp settings right now as i am learning how to use this device. Most settings are default the way it came. What i would like to do later on is run each port non bridges to different networks. Right now tho i would like to figure this problem out before i go any further. Thanks for your time.

I think this is the issue: remove this address from your router. then paste this command into your command line:

/ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment="default configuration" interface=bridge-local

I think this is the issue:

Code: Select all

/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment="default configuration" interface=wlan1

remove this address from your router. then paste this command into your command line:

/ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment="default configuration" interface=bridge-local

Awesome can you explain how i would do that in winbox ? Thanks

Actually in winbox it's even easier. Open "IP" -> "Address". Double click the address "192.168.88.1" and change the interface from Wlan1 to Bridge-Local. Then you can disable wireless and LAN will work

it gives me an error saying the couldent change adress already have address

ok i tried something and it seems to work

i changed the wlan ip to 192.168.1.1/24

with a network of 192.168.1.0

then rebooted the device and now i am able to disable wlan and keep the network running.

Is that setting ok to use for the wlan ?

Also i went into bridge-ports and removed wlan from the bridge. i hope i did it right

The RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN comes pre-loaded with a configuration in which the Wireless interface is the only interface that has a static IP assigned to it. As far as i remember it is 192.168.88.1 correct? Anyway mine came with 192.168.88.1 assigned to the wireless interface. By disabling the Wireless interface you loose connectivity to the router and you have to reset it with a screwdriver using the bottomhole. I'm no routeros expert at all but I would : first remove ether10 from the local-bridge, then assign ether10 a static ip 192.168.88.2 etc, connect your laptop to the router using a patch cable plugged into in ether10, then fire up WinBox and try to connect to 192.168.88.2. If you succeed to connect then the disable the wireless interface. From now on you should be able to connect through ether10 or any other port but ether1 which is configured to be WAN dhcp'ed.

Best regards

hello

>yet to find a setting that allows me to change my wireless transmit power

i have the same question for my RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN.
i am using v5.22 and changing the Antenna Gain does not change anything.
how do you reduce the RF output power for the wireless then?

set the card to "all rates fixed" first, only then the tx-power setting will have any egfect

hello

set the card to "all rates fixed" first, only then the tx-power setting will have any egfect

i there another setting somewhere else to change the RF output power?

i played with that (all rated fixed, tx-power) and i discovered i could change TX POWER from minus 30 to plus 30, and, although i saw just a small change in RF power output. no matter how low i tried to change it, my iphone was still able to browse on the net and my inSSIDer (pc software) displayed a mikrotik ssid that was indeed powerfull enough to be used at quite a long range.

what is the purpose of the ANTENNA GAIN setting? setting it to 0 or to 30 didn't seem to have any affect.

i need to get the RF output as low as i can, and at -30 it ain't low enough.

Antenna gain is used to calculate total radiated power. Different countries have different regulations on ERP (effective radiated power) and the router will help make sure you aren't exceeding that (it will lower power when you are above the ERP because you have a high gain antenna). This is also a reason why it wants you to set your country.

There are two places to set power. You can set power to let the card just max out it's rated power or you can specify power for each speed rating. Just remember you have to point the router to which one you want it to use. I believe this router is set to max out on the rated TX power.

P.S.: I forgot to tell you. Since you are using tx-power=-30 you will need to make sure the following is changed:

tx-power-mode=all-rated-fixed

That will point the router to the value you put in tx-power. If you haven't done that, that is why your power levels don't seem to be changing.

I think this is the issue:

Code: Select all

/ip address
add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment="default configuration" interface=wlan1

remove this address from your router. then paste this command into your command line:

/ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 comment="default configuration" interface=bridge-local

i too thought it would of been as easy as "Open the Interfaces menu and choose "Wlan1", then click "Disable"."
but disabling the Wlan1 interface locked me out of my unit

it seems that my config as well had this error and it makes me wonder if this was a default entry
if it was a default config entry, then please take that person responsible for that brilliant line of code and proceed to give him/her 50 lashes with a network cable

I would like to know how to change the wireless power on the RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN.

What is the exact command?

Thanks,

Don James

What is the exact command?

ros code

interface wireless set 0 tx-power-mode=all-rates-fixed
interface wireless set 0 tx-power=5

Hi,

That's exactly what I needed to know.

I was also wondering how to change the power setting using Winbox.

Thanks,

donjames

In winbox choose Wireless-> Interfaces -> Double click on wlan1 interface > Tx Power
http://i.imgur.com/2Phu9.png

I tried what you suggested and didn't see a tab for "TX Power".

I noticed that you had advanced mode turned on. As soon as I turned on advanced mode, the "TX Power" tab appeared.

Thanks for the help.

Sincerely,

Don James

How to create scripts

• Open System -> Scripts window
  Press Add button and the script editor window will open
  Type a script name like DisableWLAN
  Select policies required by the script or check all of them
  Type script into the source text area: interface wireless disable wlan1
  Make sure you are using the proper name of the wireless interface. It could be found in the Interfaces section.
  Next you can try to test the script with “Run Script” button
  Save the script with “OK” button
  Create a similar EnableWLAN script.

How to schedule scripts

• Open System -> Scheduler window
  Press Add button to open the Scheduler window
  Type some meaningful name for the scheduled task like DisableWLAN
  Type the name of your script into the On Event text area like DisableWLAN
  Select the start date, start time (hh:mm:ss format) and the interval for repeating the action like 1d 00:00:00 (it means one day and no hours, minutes and secs)
  Select required policies or check them all
  Save the schedule with “OK” button
  Repeat the same to schedule the enabling script
