Quick Setup Guide

Let's consider that you have a wireless interface, called wlan1.

To set it as an Access Point, working in 802.11g standard, using frequency 2442 MHz and Service Set Identifier test, do the following configuration:

/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid=test frequency=2442 band=2.4ghz-b/g \ mode=ap-bridge disabled=no

Now your router is ready to accept wireless clients.

To make a point-to-point connection, using 802.11a standard, frequency 5805 MHz and Service Set Identifier p2p, write:

/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid="p2p" frequency=5805 band=5ghz \ mode=bridge disabled=no

The remote interface should be configured to station as showed below.

To make the wireless interface as a wireless station, working in 802.11a standard and Service Set Identifier p2p:

/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid="p2p" band=5ghz mode=station disabled=no

Description

The Atheros card has been tested for distances up to 20 km providing connection speed up to 17Mbit/s. With appropriate antennas and cabling the maximum distance should be as far as 50 km.

These values of ack-timeoutwere approximated from the tests done by us, as well as by some of our customers:
