Re: [Mikrotik] Connect list

2009-05-21 Thread Josh Luthman
If I recall correctly the way this will work is that it will use the first
item in the connect list first, if it works at all - isn't that right?

Say the North and East are both seen at -70 and -60 respectively.  If the
connect list is North followed by East and South, then North is used because
it is higher in the connect list.  I would prefer it to associate to East as
it is 10 db higher (of course!)  Can this be configured to suit this?

 You can use the connect list.  In fact, that's a good plan, IMNSHO.  You
 could do something like this:

 /int wir conn
 add ssid=ssid_number1 connect=yes
 add ssid=ssid_number2 connect=yes
 add ssid=ssid_number3 connect=yes
 add connect=no

[Mikrotik] Connect list

2009-05-11 Thread Josh Luthman
At this time I have three 120 degree antennas on a tower at 250'.

I made three templates for each of the APs.

To make it unified (one template per tower) could I use the connect
list?  What are the differences I would have to watch out for? How do
I get it to use the connect list instead of the ssid specified?
