2011 with iphone 5

Sat Jul 27, 2013 2:16 pm

Hello,

I just replaced a linksys router with mikrotik 2011, which has lots of features, but the problem is that when i go little far in my room the wireless receive signal is nearly full but my phone does not connect, i have changed from 20/40Mhz to 20 Mhz, but its still same, any help on fine tuning the AP in Mikrotik ?

Thanks a lot.

I had a similar problem. My Android worked fine but my wife's iPhone either wouldn't connect or was slow as can be. I actually have given up for the time being and switched back to using my airport for wireless.

Dies that actually do anything? I thought it just limited the channels?

Instead of everyone guessing and throwing out random things. It would be better to see your config.

Post /export compact and then we can give suggestions based off of that.

You set wireless-protocol=802.11. If using winbox you will need to click "advanced" on the right side of the wireless interface box.

Is that your whole config? Did you leave anything out?
