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.
Your 4th idea of swapping is a good idea. I have other customers connected to the AP so its a bit touchy but I will give that a shot soon.
