Two antennas - an 8db rubber duck on one and a coax going to an omni
outside.
I thought the chains config looked a little odd - I'll try enabling the
other chains and see where it gets me.

The n means it can probably do MIMO, hence the two connectors. Do you have
two antennas or a dual pol antenna?
Make sure you have both HT chains checked/enabled - the default on MT is
*STUPID*.

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!
