Connecting 2 mikrotik with 11N - Band band and/or channel.

Thu Feb 10, 2011 3:02 pm

Hey everyone,
This is my first time playing with mikrotiks so please let me apologize in advance if some of these seem trivial to you people.

I have two routeros 5.0rc8 level 4 installations with R52NM wifi cards and 5ghz antennas.
On is set to AP bridge and the other to Station, both at 5Ghz N only modes.
Country is set to Greece, freq to 5200 and channel width to 20mhz.

Ap:

Station:

When scanning from the Station I can see the AP but when I try to connect to it i get an error saying:
"Couldn't change Interface <wlan1> - bad band and/or channel, see 'wireless info' for supported channels (6)
Image
Image

My country is Greece so after some googling and trolling the mikrotik forum I figured there was something wrong with my frequency selection.
I tried setting some other country and freqs without any luck.

I read someplace that I need an updated license from mikrotik for using 11N but can't find much on that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone in advance.

George.

Try station pseudobridge mode not just station.
Also, try to put the same settings in the station (i see that you haven't put the ssid) and normally it will connect from itsel without scanning and connecting.

For faster connection, in the scan list of the station, put only the frequency you want to use. In the AP it doesn't matter, leave it default.

I haven't try 802.11n yet, but in 802.11a in this way it works for sure.

Thanks for the suggestion tasos but just tried the "station pseudobridge" without any luck.
Still getting the same weird error.

Indeed seems to be a bug.
I have downgraded to 4.16 stable, reset the configuration and everything seems to be working as expected.

Is there a release log mailing list/rss or something I could subscribe to, so I can learn when this is fixed?

Thanks.
