Groove incapable of connecting to any wireless network

Thu Feb 14, 2013 8:25 pm

I bought a Groove 2hn as my first Mikrotik/RouterOs experience. I have spent one day and a half reading and trying to configure it as a wireless client, but I have been unable to make it connect to any AP, not even without security.

The firmware in the Groove is 3.02 and I have been unable to find if its the last update or not, since the page where I was sent to get the firmware (http://routerboard.com/) has firmware listed for other devices but not for the Groove 2hn. I have also tried updating the software to 6.0rc9.

As a last test, I placed the Groove five meters away from an unsecured AP with no wall in the way, completely reseted the Groove, connected to it using WinBox and using the quick setup from the 6 version, I set up the wired connection to a fixed IP and tried to connect to the open AP. The Groove would not connect. In debuggin I enabled "wireless,debug" and it would say that it failed to connect even saying sometimes randomly "athentication timeout". The antenna is fine since I have tested the same connection with a Ubiquity Wifistation Ext and it connected to the same unsecured AP without problems.

Im about to send the unit back and get something else unless someone here can find a solution. What kind of logs do you need?

Please open 'New Terminal' in winbox and copy & paste both commands one after another into the terminal window and hit enter. Please copy the output of both commands and paste them here. Also, what type of antenna do you use, specifically what gain and connector type? Thanks.

You can see the AP Im trying to connect to has -30 signal (its 5 meters away only). I tested also with mode=station, but the automatic configuration sets it to pseudobridge so I left it there. The AP was unsecured while running all this.

Another anoying part is that I can not get the date/time to stick after reboot.

As for the antenna is just a 14dbi directional panel with an N connector. To test it with the Ubiquity Wifistation Ext Im using an adaptor.
can u export ur Groove config and what kind of AP u use
Im new to RouterOs, can you please tell me exactly what command do you want me to run to export the config?

The AP Im testing is just a generic wireless router, but multiple other device (android, other linuxes and windows) are connecting fine to it.

That is normal. The groove does not have an on board battery. Once you establish a connection you can use ntp to synchronise time.

ros code

Please post the output from the above command. In the meantime, your signal strength and SNR could be too high. I suggest to lower the tx-power to something below 10 (card rates or all rates fixed mode). You will notice if the settings take effect in the 'Current Tx Power' tab. Also, set the distance to indoors on the 'Advanced' tab. Then try again and let us know.

I had already tried setting indoors and lowering the power to 15 as I had read in the forums too much power could be an issue. I have now lowered to 6 and tried again. Still no connection.

Here is the command you requested (I tried with 0 but gave error, so I guessed the 0 was a mistake):

please upgrade to the RouterOS v6.0rc10 which will be in the download page today and after that please reset the wireless configuration by using this command:
/interface wireless reset-configuration wlan1
And after that try to configure the settings you need.
Also please use the regular export command so we could see the changes what are different form the default.

Re: Groove incapable of connecting to any wireless network

Fri Feb 15, 2013 5:13 pm

Upgraded to rc10, reseted the wireless configuration with the command suggested by uidis, and tested first, only changing the band from default B to B/G/N (AP does not have B) and then changing the rest as suggested (lowering the power, setting indoor as distance, etc...). The AP is unprotected. Same results. Im including the export of each case and at the end the logs that Im getting in case they are relevant.

After reset:

Can you check the AP logs if there is some error message?
How far is the AP from the Groove unit?
What antenna you are using on the Groove?
When you do a wireless scan - what signal you are seeing for that AP?
When you first powered the Groove unit did you have antenna connected to the Groove?

Try setting the tx-power-mode=default if it connects or not.

Re: Groove incapable of connecting to any wireless network

Fri Feb 15, 2013 6:14 pm

Thanks for the quick answer.
Can you check the AP logs if there is some error message?
I dont get wireless logs from the AP so that is a dead end. If it means something, I tried to connect to a different AP (with security) and it did not work either. Using the same antenna and the Ubiquity Wifistation Ext I can connect (using an adaptor since the antenna connector is N).
How far is the AP from the Groove unit?
For the test Im setting the Groove and antenna like 5 meters away from the AP with no walls in the way. Again, without moving the antenna and connecting to it the Ubiquity Wifistation Ext I can connect without a problem.
What antenna you are using on the Groove?
Its a 14dbi directional pannel with N connector. One of the first things I did is test the antenna with a different chipsets as I have explained.
When you do a wireless scan - what signal you are seeing for that AP?
Between -25 and -35 (its 5 meters away). The other AP Ive tested has between -60 and -65.
When you first powered the Groove unit did you have antenna connected to the Groove?
Yes, I connect the antenna before powering the Groove.
Try setting the tx-power-mode=default if it connects or not.
The first test was done with tx-power-mode=default, you can see it in the logs. The second I changed it to lower the output as suggested by ohara.

Look guys this issue is not related to tx-power at all -leave it to default
If I m not wrong you use mode=station-pseudobridge
Can u set it to station or station bridge? and give it a try - scan select ur network and press connect

Im using mode=station-pseudobridge because its what automatically is set when you use the new quick setup screen of version 6.0. Previously I was using mode=station. Regardless I tested again with all three methods again today after a full reset. Same results.

Station-pseudobridge:

[admin@MikroTik] >
Station-bridge:

My AP would not accept this mode and the logs would show that the connection was not possible because the AP was not compatible with this method (or something like that).

Also, until now I was using the web interface. Today I did a full reset and had to load windows again to use winbox to connect to the unit through the MAC. Using winbox, in the quick setup screen, when I click connect (to a wireless network) winbox crashes. If I log in again the device is trying to connect to the wireless network I selectd. It works fine with the web interface.

Any idea what it could be?

About that lot of "winbox crashes" I have same experience with version 6.x - this is some windows problem - don't really know how to fix it
ver 5.20,5.21,5.22,5.23 are just fine
if u can downgrade to v5.23 and log in to with winbox
Reset ur unit to no-defaults=yes
and make your setup like that
only set band as b/g/n
wirs.png
Also try Wireless Protocol=802.11 or any

Re: Groove incapable of connecting to any wireless network

Sat Feb 16, 2013 11:56 pm

I had already try changing the wireless protocol parameter, but I have downgraded to 5.23 (is it normal if I still get the quick setup screen? it says version 5.23) and tested reseting with the no default option. Then, I try to connect to an unsecured AP, changing the wireless protocol parameter to the suggested values. Same results, the Groove wont connect.

Is there any other posibility apart from sending the unit back?

Re: Groove incapable of connecting to any wireless network

Have you checked if there is no access list on the AP which could prevent new devices from connecting to it? Did you try to restart the AP?

I would set up the Groove as AP and test if a laptop or the Ubnt Wifistation can connect to it at all.

There is no access list or mac filter in the AP. As I said previously, I have tried the Groove on a couple of other (secured) AP's and it did not connect either. An android device, a x86 windows and Ubuntu computer and an ARM Ubuntu computer have connected fine to the AP, so I doubt the problem is in the AP.

I can not set up the Groove as AP even to test because I bought the 2hn which means only Level 3 license (so no AP, only client). Since I need it as a client, the price of the 2hn option was what made me choose the Groove over other options.

Hi,

You whould be able to connect 1 client if you set is to bridge mode.
If I recall, level 3 license allows this so as to let you create a ptp link.

So if I set it up in bridge mode, what do I need to connect to it? Just a simple usb dongle from a computer is enough for the test?

This Groove may be broken. Open it and than touch it near the wireless module, it should help. You can warm connections near wireless chip. We have a couple of them with the same symptoms.
