Re: [WISPA] StarOS Backhaul wont connect??? UPDATE

As a followup, I went out to the towers in question and tried the link again utilizing all the suggestions. Unfortunately, it still will not connect to a better AP. When weather permits, I'll probably climb the tower and replace the boards. Any other ideas? -RickG On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 11:44

I can scan for other devices. In the scan, there is nothing else except my other AP's which are separate channels not even close. -RickG On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 12:10 AM, Josh Luthman j...@imaginenetworksllc.com wrote: I haven't used staros so I can't say much about the software.  Can it see

Butch, Very good ideas but... 1) Security (encryption is off). 2) I've tried several freqs. Either way, both ends are the same equipment so there shoudl not be a problem. I am familiar with Mikrotik and there is no scan list in StarOS that I am aware of. 3) No mac filtering. Unit is wide open.

Butch, You're good! Your comments got me investigating further. The AP running StarOS v3 (which I'm not as familiar with) did not accept the freq I put into it and defaulted to an odd freq. The config page showed the freq I wanted but the status page showed another. I have to go out to the remote
