How do you access the router from a phone, that would be so much better than lugging the laptop up ladders. I ordered the map2n version of the same router: Mikrotik RouterBoard mAP RBmAP2nD micro Access Point wireless Dual-Chain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7DO1VB/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_ api_-454zbM30MM89 BobGreat work! I've used a TL-MR3020 myself. It's a nice tool to have in the bag. I've done "HamWAN portable" with essentially this same kit in a backpack while hanging off a tower--the wifi makes it possible to use a cellphone to check signal strengths while aiming a dish.For those who don't have one already, I'd recommend looking at the mAP https://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-map-lite-2-4ghz- . It doesn't handle cellular modems* like the TL-MR3020, but it is tiny, can run directly off 12V (PoE injected), and comes with the full Mikrotik Router OS so you can do advanced routing stuff if needed.magnetic-dual-chain-indoor-ap. html * Mikrotik has some cellular modem support via USB, but I haven't tried it on the mAP... It might be possible.Do you have any plans for a permanent installation? I know one thing I don't want to have to deal with during a disaster: setting up a HamWAN link.TomOn Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 9:57 AM, Robert Edmiston <kg7ucl@gmail.com> wrote:I got my hamwan link Working from the historic Madison Park ferry dock in Seattle to Haystack with 1.8mbps down and 3.8 up. Then connected to a tplink WiFi hotspot and sent Winlink email from a laptop and email from an iPhone. Pretty darned happy with this new super power. Thanks Puget Sound Hamwan volunteers.
