General Information
Summary
The wireless interface operates using IEEE 802.11 set of standards. It uses radio waves as a
physical signal carrier and is capable of wireless data transmission with speeds up to 108 Mbps (in
5GHz turbo-mode).
Wandy RouterOS supports the Intersil Prism II PC/PCI, Atheros AR5000, AR5001X, and
AR5001X+ chipset based wireless adapter cards for working as wireless clients (station mode),
wireless bridges (bridge mode), wireless access points (ap-bridge mode), and for antenna
positioning (alignment-only mode). For furher information about supported wireless adapters, see
Device Driver List
Wandy RouterOS provides a complete support for IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
networking standards. There are several features implemented for the wireless data communication
in RouterOS - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WDS (Wireless Distribution System), DFS
(Dynamic Frequency Selection), Alignment mode (for positioning antennas and monitoring
wireless signal), disable packet forwarding among clients, and others.
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:
/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid="test" frequency=2442 band=2.4GHz-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:
/interface wireless set wlan1 ssid="p2p" frequency=5805 band=5GHz mode=bridge
disabled=no
The remote interface should be configured to station as showed below.
