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:

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-timeout
were approximated from the tests done by us, as well as by some of our
customers:
