PWR-Line AP - what firmware version is usable? Neighbor visible yet no IP traffic

Tue Mar 23, 2021 9:43 pm

I have a setup where I connected one PWR-Line Pro and two PWR-Line APs, and it worked OK. I then added a second Pro, and upgraded firware to 6.48.1 on the two APs.

Five hours later, and having tried 6.48.1, 6.49 beta, 6.47.x... I have the following issue: if the AP is right next to the Pro, it will connect, get an IP from the router, etc. As soon as I move them anywhere a bit further away (remember - this was working for ~10 days with no issues, same sockets) the APs will stop passing IP traffic. DHCP will fail. However, I can see them from the Pro via Neighbors / Winbox, and even connect to them, so the powerline link is there.

Any ideas, before I ditch Mikrotik powerline forever and move elsewhere...?

(Suggestions of alternative vendors also welcome)
