[HamWAN PSDR] Client configuration instructions

[Bart Kus]

Good catches.

In terms of "input does not match any value of name" it looks like a bug 
in the command-line interface.  I can repro it here:

[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=HamWAN
input does not match any value of name
[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=default
[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=Sector2
input does not match any value of name
[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=5905
[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> set wlan1 scan-list=HamWAN
input does not match any value of name
[eo at AE7SJ-Paine] /interface wireless> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
  0  R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=D4:CA:6D:7A:B8:23 arp=enabled 
interface-type=Atheros AR92xx mode=station ssid="HamWAN" frequency=5905
       band=5ghz-onlyn channel-width=5mhz *scan-list=5905* 
wireless-protocol=nv2 wds-mode=disabled wds-default-bridge=none 
wds-ignore-ssid=no
       bridge-mode=enabled default-authentication=yes 
default-forwarding=yes default-ap-tx-limit=0 default-client-tx-limit=0 
hide-ssid=no
       security-profile=default compression=no

You can see the scan-list was NOT set properly.  However, if you set it 
using WinBox it DOES set it properly AND uses it properly to scan 
through the channels.  I'll try to reach out to Mikrotik support to get 
their take on this.

In terms of your other report of no such thing existing, drop the 
initial "Interface".  It's just Wireless, and then the rest of the click 
path is OK.



You can see Signal Strength readings there.
