The signal strength seems good in any case, and placement of the client relative to the access point seems not to make any difference. In all cases, I have 30-50dB over the noise floor.
I'm new to the Mikrotik forums, so I'm not sure what the most relevant information to provide is, but I'll start with a printout of my wireless interface:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface wireless print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=4C:5E:0C:C4:EB:0B arp=enabled
interface-type=Atheros AR9300 mode=ap-bridge ssid="creampuffstarship"
frequency=auto band=2ghz-b/g/n channel-width=20/40mhz-ht-above
scan-list=default wireless-protocol=802.11 wds-mode=disabled
wds-default-bridge=none wds-ignore-ssid=no bridge-mode=enabled
default-authentication=yes default-forwarding=yes default-ap-tx-limit=0
default-client-tx-limit=0 hide-ssid=no security-profile=default
compression=no
Things I have tried:
1) I have attempted just b/g, thinking it was a compatibility issue of my client devices with N (no such luck)
2) I have changed frequencies - I tried several fixed frequencies, including one or two that I found to be unused in any of the networks that are visible from the router. I ultimately settled on "auto" as the safest bet, but it doesn't appear to make a difference in any case.
Any thoughts? I feel as though it has to be something silly I'm doing.
Thanks,
