Hi guys,
I've never used wireless on Mikrotik before, so I figured the next time
I had a project it would be a good time for initiation.
I've got a client/coworker who has an iPad that they use to control and
stream music to their stereo that has speakers in their garage and
outside on their patio. Due to the size of the house/area and the
materials involved (steel siding, etc) they are not able to get very
good performance with an AP just in the garage. Rather than add an
additional AP, we opted to run one antenna outside and keep one inside
for the garage area.
I have a 433AH with an R52Hn wireless card. There's two antenna
connectors on it and it seemed like it would be pretty straight forward,
however I'm not having much luck getting any kind of reliable
performance with the unit at all. Wi-Fi drops often and the streaming
doesn't work at all. I know the antennas are good because I hooked up a
lower power Cisco AP to the antennas for the time being, but I was
hoping to use the MT with the R52Hn for a little extra push. The goal is
to allow them to roam from the garage to the patio without dropping.
I'm not sure what I have configured incorrectly, but I have the
regulatory domain set, the 802.11 profile set and the card is configured
for 802.11bgn mode. Looking at the transmit powers under current tx
power in Winbox, the max it shows is 22 - I thought this card went to 25
on lower modulations?
Anyone have any pointers for me on how to get this working? Here's the
config:
/interface wireless
set 0 antenna-gain=8 country="united states" band=2ghz-b/g/n
frequency=2437 frequency-mode=regulatory_domain l2mtu=2290
mode=ap-bridge name=AP scan-list=default ssid=MA2
wireless-protocol=802.11 wmm-support=enabled
Thanks!
