Yep. The long preamble stabilized the connection, and the two chains
seems to have told the card to use the other antenna.

Was it just the two chains on the HT tab and longer preamble?

Wanted to report back. I applied the recommendations from Josh and Justin
- to my surprise and relief, it resolved the issues I was having.
Signal levels improved dramatically and things are working as they should.
Thanks to everyone for the help and input - this list is awesome!

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!
