Josh, Make sure to choose a center channel on the AP that's in the scan list of the stations. They stations have default scan lists if none is specified. I mention this because I learned this lesson Saturday morning. I think this is more common on UBNT radio cards, which is what we have in these radios with the issue We had a PTMP section with 5ghz-turbo set and it was on 5760. I moved the stations to plan 5ghz which would be 20 mhz channel size and put it back on 5760 and the stations didn't reconnect. I tried 5800 and that didn't work either. I then tried 5805 and they connected. This is all from memory and so the frequencies may be off. But you get the picture. Just because the UBNT radios show a channel for use, it doesn't mean the remote end will connect.
BTW, it was good meeting you in Vegas. Justin On Oct 24, 2011, at 4:53 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > I am trying to change my 5ghz APs to save on spectrum. I have one AP > with 3 customers, A B and C.
