Does StarOS have a "scan" feature? If it can "see" the AP, but not connect, I'd be looking for 1 of 3 particular problems. First, it is possible (probable?) that you have something different in the security settings (encryption). Second, it is possible that you have the AP on a non-standard frequency that the client is not including in it's "scan list". The term "scan list" is a Mikrotik term, but it is common for most Linux based devices that use the "stock" Atheros driver to only scan the "standard" predefined center frequencies. The third possibility that I can think of is a possibility that the AP has some sort of mac filtering that is not allowing the connection from this client. Again, I'm not familiar with StarOS, so I'm not sure that is even a feature. I would start by swapping the functions of the 2 radios (make the AP the client) just to see if a connection can be made that way. Double-check the settings I mentioned above as well. Another thing to try is attempt to connect to the AP with a different client just to ensure the AP function is operating correctly on the radio you are running as AP. Just a few things to try...Hope this helps. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
