Hello!
My company has been using mikrotiks for a while, sometimes as routers, more often as point to multipoint devices. Lately, we picked up some hAP lites (the non ac versions) to use as wireless routers/APs at customer sites.
At first, everything seemed to be working great, and tested perfectly at the office. However, when I installed one of the devices at the customer site, he couldn't connect to it with his iphone 6. It just gives me an "unable to join the network" error. Nothing shows up in the Mikrotik logs.
I brought the hAP back to the office, and tested with a coworkers ipad. It couldn't connect either.
Doing some online searching, I was first happy to see this in the wireless FAQ. Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. Here are my wireless settings:
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] disabled=no distance=indoors frequency=auto \
mode=ap-bridge preamble-mode=long ssid=TESTSSID wireless-protocol=802.11
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa2-eap mode=\
dynamic-keys supplicant-identity=MikroTik wpa2-pre-shared-key=12345678
As you can see, preamble mode is already set to long; I did also try 'both'.
Some other things I've tried, based on other people encountering similar problems:
Changing the frequency from auto to specific bands.
Changing bridge from rstp to stp.
Changing DHCP server to authoritative=yes.
None of these seemed to help. I'm hoping that someone else has encountered this issue, and has a solution? Please let me know if there's any other info I should post.
Thanks very much!
