Open the Wireless interface, and under the Wireless tab, change the SSID to something else.

I had to change my SSID back to original one, and change to "ap bridge".

So what does those buttons "connect", "use network" anyway?

Connect changes SSID and other settings to try and connect to the AP you have selected in the scan list. Use Network... I don't know about that, can't find anything on the wiki, found only one offhand remark here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 72#p240511

That would be nice... In addition to forums, online manual will be your best friend for learning: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Main_Page

What are those other settings?
Also if they make the connect button why not make "abort"?

Without clear understanding what was changed how to set ut back.

because once you click connect you are arleady disconnected from the client if you are connecting via wireless.

Hello smilem,
Without clear understanding.....
...please don´t touch each button!

What would you do if you will connecting the foreign wireless network and you get access!?
in some coutries you will be able to get some years in prison for computer crime and then?
Who is then the guilty, MikroTik? For your doings are only you are the going in jail no one else!

If you want to try out some things and you are not really understanding what it is or it makes,
then the online manual at the shown above wiki side is your best friend!
....selected some other network....how to stop this?......
Please feel free to use brain 2.0 and don´t touch other networks! :wink:
To jail ? You americans really live in strange world there.
I was asking for exact button changes to be able to revert back.

If you start making changes in winbox, the Undo button will revert your changes, stepping backward. And the Redo button will re-apply any changes you have reverted with the Undo button. Like most other software...
