I have 3 WRT54Gs and one Ubiquity Bullet M2. All were connected fine via RF on CH 1. In an effort to minimize interference over a 20 mile path to another station, we decided on CH 3. The bullet connected fine to the remote station on CH 3 (across the Las Vegas valley, I might add :) - still fine tuning though).
I changed the 3 WRT54Gs to CH 3; their physical locations remained unchanged. Applied the change, used the "Save Changes" button and rebooted each of them. They see each other, but not the bullet. Oddly, I know I noticed that when I changed the first one to CH 3, it still saw the other two that I hadn't changed yet from CH 1. At that point, I chalked it up to being tired / a fluke.
A WiFi scan from the bullet, and from at least one of the WRT54Gs, shows BroadbandHamnet-20-v3 on CH 1 (not CH 3!) (the bullet also shows a second entry - the remote station's -71 signal on CH 3).
I'm coming to the conclusion that for whatever reason, changing the channel on the WRT54Gs had no effect - is this a known issue?
I know I can work around the 3 nodes being on RF only paths with the bullet; it was just my inability to replicate my original setup that was frustrating since everything worked fine on CH 1. |
