Custom freq gives you the ability to select every 5Mhz as channel option not useful in 2.4GHz since the channel spacing is already on 5MHz separation.
But you can select 5MHz below channel 1. /Eje ------Original Message------ From: Mike Sender: wireless-boun...@wispa.org To: WISPA General List ReplyTo: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] 2.4 Frequency coordination Sent: Sep 9, 2009 08:20 I have some questions on the frequency agility of Mikrotik equipment, FCC regs, and frequency coordination. There are 3 non-overlapping channels at 2.4G; 1, 6 and 11. That makes an assumption we are using 20MHz channel size. Some of the newer radios can run 10MHz and 5MHz channel sizes. Using the RouterOS interface, the only choice for channel selection is the center frequency of each of the 11 channels available in the US. So, the only choice, say for channel 1 is 2412MHz. When using 20MHz channel size, the RF will occupy 2401 to 2423 according to FCC rules, on channel 1. If I want to deploy a device capable of running 10MHz channel width, is there a way to set the channel frequency to say 2406? The signal would occupy 2401 to 2411, and still be within the definition of channel 1. Would a Mikrotik Extended Frequency License allow this frequency agility? Would every CPE connected to such an AP also be required to have the license? Is this within FCC rules? Are any of you doing this? If so, what equipment are you using? Thanks!
