Thanks I will adjust timings to 30 seconds.
Thus my 0-75 out of range time is now 30 seconds --> If the signal drops to low, i dont want to kick off a device prematurely
SHOULD I, change my -76 to -120 delay time to 5 seconds LOL, or keep at 10. ----> Presumably if the signal is poor, the quicker I force the device to a better AP, the better????
Well I don't know. My information comes from the wiki, and even the 'help' reincarnation of the wiki. But that leaves me clueless
It says the following:
For example, if client's signal during connection is -41 and we have ACL rule
/interface wireless access-list
add authentication=yes forwarding=yes interface=wlan2 signal-range=-55..0
Then connection is not matched to any ACL rule and if signal drops to -70..-80, client will not be disconnected.
To make it work correctly it is required that client is matched by any of ACL rules.
If we modify ACL rules in previous example to:
/interface wireless access-list
add interface=wlan2 signal-range=-55
add authentication=no forwarding=no interface=wlan2 signal-range=-120..-56
Then if signal drops to -56, client will be disconnected.
What? "Then connection is not matched to any ACL rule" , so -41 is not in the signal-range=-55..0 ? Is it not ?
and a second time, probably less accurate
signal-range (NUM..NUM - both NUM are numbers in the range -120..120; Default: -120..120)
Rule matches if signal strength of the station is within the range.
If signal strength of the station will go out of the range that is specified in the rule, access point will disconnect that station.
The information about the " Allow Signal Out Of Range" is more cryptic , it is:
The full wiki-class information is missing: it would look like:
Allow Signal Out Of Range (time); default 0:00:10) Time the signal is allowed out-of-range
Is the "Allow Signal Out Of Range" ever used in case of a denial (no authentication)? In what meaning? The fact that that rule is active even if the signal is strong ???? NO!
How to know? Experiments to confirm some hypothesis?
Mikrotik has no "concept manual", no "theory of operation manual", no "administrator guide", just a "command reference" even with parts missing.
no-LOL. We are wasting lots of time by misunderstanding the wiki.
(Try to find the information for mode "station-bridge" .....and "mode" information is not yet transferred to the 'help' reincarnation)

EDIT: after checks not sure of the "NO!" anymore
