Just the other day I ran into a weird issue with Mikrotik AP and CPE. This is all in 5Ghz. Using 20 and 10mhz channels everything works as expected. In 5mhz channels the AP shows up three times in the scan list with difference center frequencies and strengths. If memory serves it did connect, but I didn't want to leave it like that (hour drive one way).
