The issue has been the iPad and it's lack of properly roaming. We
originally had two APs set up and the iPad was too stubborn to
auto-connect to the other AP outside when the signal was bad. These
people not being tech savvy at all further complicates things.
Was hoping for some kind of solution that wouldn't involve messing with
the wifi settings on the iPad at all.

Make sure you have long preamble turned on as well. You have to click advanced
under options to see it. It helps on Mac OS X, iOS is very similar.
I would also recommend a second card. You can have the same SSID on both and
roam.

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!
