two weeks ago I upgraded my five mikrotik aps to v.7.13.x and switched to the new wifi-qcom-ac package.
Apart from the need to reconfigure my vlan tagging everything went smooth.
I'm pretty satisfied with the performance so far, but one aspect keeps me wondering just if somethings wrong with my configuration.
This is an excerpt from one of my access points (redacted the SSID):
Code: Select all
/interface wifi security

ap2 - channel 5
ap3 - channel 9
ap4 - channel 13
ap5 - channel 1
This configuration obviously only works in countries which allow the use of channel 13 (which is the case in germany).
But heres the catch: Before the change to wifi-qcom-ac the channels were 20MHz wide (as per configuration) and did not overlap.
Since the upgrade the channels seem to occupy 40MHz even if I configured them to be 20MHz wide (see config above).
Attached is a screenshot of LinSSID showcasing the problem. I checked before and after the switch to wifi-qcom-ac and this problem only started after upgrading from the old wireless driver. Any Ideas? Possible Bug in RouterOS? Possible Bug in LinSSID?
What do you think?
