Now SOLVED sort of: I did a factory reset for another reason and all works as it should. The overall history is that the router came into my possession at RouterOS v6.47.9 I upgraded to v6,49.10. I am speculating that this has carried settings forward, including may be antenna gain, which was part of the error message for some seettings I tried. Having done a factory reset for other reasons, this appears to have cleared out everything preventing me from setting the unit to UK.


Hi all, this is my first post.

I have just upgraded a hAP ac lite to RouterOS v6.49.10. I attach a photo of the router label.

After upgrading RouterOS, I found that I lost sight of the router wifi 5 [5GHz] network from Raspberry pi and phones. I realised that the wifi settings were no longer right or were rejected by 6.49.10, so I had a go at putting them right. I could set up acceptably for South Africa, but that is not good enough, because I am in the UK and I want to get this right.

I have searched and nothing much in support, on the forum or on the internet generally which covers this specific issue. I would be grateful if anyone could let me know of any 'how-to' document or a table of settings or anything which would help me get this right.

Thanks in advance!

edit: Sorry phot was dropped perhaps because I am a newbie. The unit ID is RB952Ui-5ac2nD-TC

Thanks for the speedy response, I have been there and successfully set up for 2GHz and also set up 5GHz for SouthAfrica. The problem is not being able to set up 5GHz for UK, either due to lack of knowledge of required options or due to some hidden option conflicting. I get popups usually saying:

Couldn't change Interface <wlan5G> - incompatible band and channel-width (6)

and on the webconfig page itself a message in red:

no supported channel
scan-list does not contain valid channels
no supported channels

So the question is more "What to set?' rather than 'How to set'

My link points to a setting for WiFi country. Setting that to “UK” doesn’t work?

No. It doesn't seem to narrow down my choices to anything which passes the router's own self checks. As I said in the opening post, I have got the interface working by setting to 'South Africa', which indicates I am doing roughly the right things. So perhaps this is now a question of identifying the correct settings for the UK and setting them up, with or without setting the country to UK
