It's connected now, but right on the fringe. Maybe it was just having trouble re-associating after the frequency change. I'll try it again and see what happens...
Still didn't connect.
Back on 5905 MHz again, it took quite a while to connect. It's really on the fringe. Have you tried taking a chainsaw to the neighbors' trees?
I thought my $20/month was supposed to cover that service ... (grin). Actually, I think the problem is summer growth, more than a mile away. I've got a good gap in the trees in my immediate neighborhood. I spent an hour out on the roof this past week, trying to improve the sighting (as opposed to the siting), without much improvement. Scott Honaker has a crank-up antenna (to 40ft) which I am seriously considering. In the meantime, I'm resigned to having an intermittent connection.
Can you check that your scan-list is set to "HamWAN" (so it's actually using the channel list)?
/interface wireless set [find] scan-list=HamWAN

Ack, that was the problem. I had set it up that way a week ago, but due to the marginal conditions, I subsequently had specified the specific channel (as suggested by Bart early on). I'm back to using the entire list. I take it that once the conversion is complete, I can remove the three channels with the 15MHz spacing?
