Remember, that each background can drops throughput of wireless device about at a half speed. Think over, if it is useful function. Much better I see any hidden command in terminal window, that allows stopping default radar scan im versions above 6.36.3, that makes devices unusable in cities, where ...

After forcing us to new Router OS versions higher then 6.36.3, due to Mikrotik virus affecting the older versions, all bought Mikrotik WiFi hardware became pieces of unusable plastic boxes, usable maximum as toy for dog... Really "funny", but it cost lots of money and finacial lost due los...

Nice catch. I would have the same if I had an omni antenna on top of my house... But I am not doing that. I am using as narrow antennas as much I can in order to be shielded away from this. Also because of that I have only about 20 SSIDs on my 5G antennas at rural places. .. Unfortunately, this pic...

I reserched, that workaround DFS bugs can particulary help, but do not solve all problems.. : Regardless Country setting (it have to be correct - Czech republic in my case) - Define exactly "Scan list" by shrinking to intervals with allowed frequencies, excluding known radar frequencies, d...

Does anyone use auto channel selection? If so, How does auto channel work for you?

Very bad. Unusable... :/ Unfortunately, in new firmware unswitchable... see: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=119758

Sure I do care about ČTÚ. It looks so far my links are working fine even when dfs is in place. I am using regulatory domain everywhere and even setting antenna gain values much higher to lower the tx power at lowest reliably working level. I wish everyone was doing the same... Sure it works at vill...

It's not so simple. If you're somewhere in the middle of CR, you probably only need to worry about these two. But if you're somewhere closer to border, there are also radars from neighboring countries. And they won't be happy either, if your device makes pretty pictures on their screens. Sob, espec...

You can still set superchannel mode or no country set or select any other country that fits your needs better... If you read versions changelog, DFS and radar detect is obligatory since some 6.x version. Bug is, when Mikrotik detect radar even at frequencies, where is none. Some strange AP or clien...

Again, it is your responsibility to set the scan list to what is legal for your use, and then if you want a specific channel, you will need to then set that frequency. However, if you DO NOT set the scan range, if it detects an issue on the channel you want, it will use the best available for the l...

It is not bug. You need use scan list. :) If mikrotik detect radar, then retune anywhere. If you define scan list 5500-5700 everything will be fine. Of course it s a BUG ! If I set manually any concrete frequency AP ccanot do what it randomly will ! Especially, if I set it to a frequency, where rad...

Firmware 6.37.1 - 6.38.5 : Country set Czech republic. If AP detect radar and /or is set to frequency 5600 - 5660. it SOMETIMES broadcast at frequerncy 5775, which is out of Czech norm and violates CTU rules !!! It leads to penalties and severe problems !!! Country on AP is set to Czech republic. Th...

Hi, super , super , super to be available LDF 5 for clients side ... But when will be available full version having AC protocol, 2x 30dBi power, Gbit LAN and Level 4 OS ????? Dishes are waitning for it ! :D http://www.inter-sat.cz/maximum-parabola-85-fe-pro-5-lnb-seda_i628.jpg We are still mounting ...

SXT had not set Flow control at "Auto" by default, there was "off", changing it to "Auto" opened port at 1Gbit. Problem with Lenovo persists on all settings the integrated LAN card. No tragedy, it is notebook in docking station, it will be not at place where network wil...

I connected RouterBOARD 260GS between 1GBit LAN Lenovo computer and RB SXT 5 ac . All devices are declared 1 Gbit LAN, but all reports speed only 100 Mbit !!! Lenovo to RB 260GS is 40 cm long cable and RB 260GS to RB SXT 5 ac is 2 m long cable. What is wrong ??? I need Gbit connectivity and therefor...

jarda: The best way is to follow 15-years old standards in behavior of user interface, if conditions allows it. Not to discover new blind paths, though are "logic" from developers angle of view :-) For every user´s angle of view is LOGIC to experiment at new devices not connected yet, inst...

Problem particulary solved at page: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 11#p552711

jarda, TIME = MONEY ! If i need to read all hundred-page manuals with each new version of firmare i can DROP BUSINESS and turn my WiFi networks into HOBBY !!! If there is option in user interface, that doesn´t work, i drop such shitty device and buy from competitor another device that is more expens...

normis: SUCCESS !!! Your answer is ESSENTIAL CORE INFORMATION and this condition of CONNECTED CLIENT is NOT MENTIONED IN MANUAL at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Scan !!!!!!!!! Logically everybody try it first at new Mikrotik device, picked up right from post box, instead of...

Unfortunately, I fulfilled all requests given in manual at: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Scan but background scan is still NOT allowed in station mode! I have latest "stable" firmware ver. 6.36 . I continue at http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=111...

BTW: From the picture above can see Mikrotik business staff, how much percentage of other AP-s sold concurrency Ubiquity networks, with OS version 2.9.31 of their OS, that supports background scan both in AP and station. Those Mikrotiks with name wlanx.bm and Mikrotik OS ver. 6.35.2 are mine. UBNT N...

Only for illustration, typical situations to solve for ISPs in cities in 5GHz band ! Over 80 interferred other visible AP-s !!! There is visible only part of all 80 interferred AP-s ! WIthout this function is WiFi managemnt very difficult! Shooting frequencies like blind man !

Thanks, but wrong answer. Unfortunately, it works only in AP bridge mode, doesn´t work in any station mode. Answer does not cover described problem!
I have of course installed last stable version 6.36 of wireless-rep package. Please try it self...

Hi Mikrotik! Why you do not produce very simple MIMO streamers for classic satelite dishs ??? They could be very cheap, easy mountable to any satellite dish, small for shipping and can save place on roofs ! I am mounting SXTs into such parabolas to save place and cover more directions on longer dist...

For more years i am awaiting for backround wireless scan in client mode general in all Mikrotik devices. This basic function for wireless management is implemented in almost ALL dumb desktop WiFi boxes of all manufacturers, but Mikrotik provide it not! Incredibly fact, that lowers significantly usab...

I supposed this answer is joke. But it really works ! Then I have a question! : Why manufacturer sets such mad willful option and donť set this option as default to sold devices ??? What sense has this secret option? Hey alexwaller, open console on OmniTIK and type: /interface ethernet poe settings ...
