Wi-FI not visible

Sun May 28, 2023 6:13 pm

Hi all,

I am unable to see the wi-fi ssid on any device which I try to connect with my router.
If I connect a LAN cable to the router, it can access the internet without any problems.
The router is connected to another router which is the gateway to the internet.

Why is the wi-fi ssid not visible?

Here is the router configuration.

In your export is already the remark there are no supported channels for the config you specified, both 2.4 and 5GHz.
So beter fix that first.
It's best to specify yourself which frequency needs to be used. Check your environment for a channel which is not used, or least used.

Since the requency list for 2GHz band is nothing special and yet wifi1 interface complains that none of channels is supported, check if your device might have 5GHz radio as wifi1 interface (and likewise 2GHz radio as wifi2) ... one can not assume that 2GHz radio will be the first interface and 5GHz radio the second interface.

In ax device wifi 1 = 5GHz.
So yes, that would be wrong.

OP
Best to start with default config.
And then change what you want if you know why and how.

Hi all,
Thanks for your comments. So, can I reset just the wifi wave 2 configuration and start a fresh?

I prefer using the commandline. I ran the reset command like
reset wifi1 and then reset wifi2

[admin@MikroTik] /interface/wifiwave2> export
# may/29/2023 05:34:57 by RouterOS 7.9.1
# software id = TREE-5IVV
#
# model = C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD

/interface wifiwave2 channel
add frequency="5180,5200,5220,5240,5260,5280,5300,5320,5500,5520,5540,5560,5580,5600,5620,5640,5660,5680,5700,5720,574\
5,5765,5785,5805,5825" name=ch-5ghz width=20/40/80mhz
add frequency=2412,2432,2472 name=ch-2ghz width=20mhz
/interface wifiwave2 security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk encryption=ccmp,gcmp,ccmp-256,gcmp-256 management-protection=allowed name=\
common-auth wps=disable
/interface wifiwave2 configuration
add country=India name=common-conf security=common-auth ssid=Periscope5G


What else do I need to do?

Hi,
I have reset the configuration.
I need to setup the router as a wireless access point. I have done this using the following set of commands.
/system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes
Create the bridge
/interface bridge add name=bridge-lan
Add all the interfaces to the bridge
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge-lan interface=all
Add the dhcp client to the bridge
interface /ip dhcp-client add interface=bridge-lan disabled=no

After the above commands, I will ensure that the administrative user has a strong password.
I am now ready to configure wifi wave 2 since that is the package on the router.
Can anyone suggest a set of basic commands?
