<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dean, if you know what sector you're
shooting for, you can make your life a little easier by
temporarily typing the frequency directly into the "Scan List"
field instead of selecting the HamWAN scan-list. This will not
allow the modem to find other sectors, but it will lock the
receiver down to that 1 frequency to maximize your signal-hunting
adventures.<br>
<br>
The "Frequency" field you're referring to control the Access Point
mode frequency, and not the Station mode (which you should be
using). Station mode frequencies are entirely controlled by
scan-list.<br>
<br>
Feel free to share a copy of <tt>"/interface wiress export
verbose</tt>" so that we can verify your config is right.<br>

<div>1. The frequency is somewhat of a "default" so to say, the
channels defined are ones the modem will automatically look for,
so it will connect to whichever it can find.</div>
<div>2. I don't use winbox, so I can't speak to that, but yes,
/interface wireless scan 0 is how I run a scan. Maybe someone
else can speak to winbox options.</div>
<div>3. In theory N connectors are weather sealed by the nature of
their design. The antenna asks that you tape up the connector
due to their attachment of the coax to the connector itself. I
generally use a layer of Scotch 33 (good electrical tape),
followed by a layer of Scotch 23 (Self fusing tape) or mastic,
and followed by another outer layer of Scotch 33.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> OK, so I have a radio
and antenna from Bart, assembled and on a mast inside my
house. I've run through the steps on the Wiki, except for:<br>
<ol>
<li>Shared admin, and</li>
<li>Remote logging & SNMP monitoring (which I will do
when I have a connection).</li>
</ol>
I've run all the way up to "/interface wireless scan 0",
which doesn't seem to report anything, not totally
unexpected since I'm inside my house. My DHCP server
supplies an IP address to the radio on either the DMZ or
LAN, and that's how I now connect with WinBox.<br>
<br>
So, now more questions ...<br>
<ol>
<li>When I click on the "Wireless" tab in WinBox, the
"interfaces" tab shows the correct SSID ("HamWAN"), but
a frequency of 5180. That seems odd. However, the
"Channels" tab correctly shows the values set from the
HamWAN Wiki for "Client Node Configuration".</li>
<li>Is there a better way to do a scan other than the
command (eg, a WinBox button somewhere)?</li>
<li>The antenna instructions talk about sealing the cable
to the radio with some sort of tape. I know I'm getting
ahead of myself here, but what to people use/recommend?
This is when I noticed that when you mount the radio,
the untaped N-connector seems to be oriented to catch
rain. Seems like a weird design decision.</li>
</ol>
<p>Any other comments are welcome as well ...<br>
