I have this 25/27 dB
MikroTik LHG XL HP5 device that I can move around Tumwater (south Olympia) and measure the signal from Capitol Peak at various places at around 10 miles.
The last two nights I have reset and completely reconfigured the device and I still cannot register any signal from Capitol Peak in several locations.
After I do a reset, and before I reconfigure the routerOS, I see that it scans all the regular 802.11 channels and registers a whole list of local APs. Then I go on to finish inputting all the settings and it becomes silent. I can't get a single 5.8 Ghz signal to show up from several locations around my local area.
So has something changed?
Do I need to apply some other setting?
Did HAMWAN suddenly change all their frequencies? (smirk)
Is Capitol Peak asleep? (smirk²)
I could assume that somehow my device has crapped out, after less than a year an no real usage, ever. I used to get -91dB and similar from scanning at my home and at the local DEM, but now nothing. It shows all 6 channels enabled, but a scan shows nothing.
Is there a way to test this thing? Could I enter an additional standard USA 5Ghz channel and see my own 5Ghz wireless show up?
