Setting the access list power levels is easy. Have a read of http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Access_List In winbox go to Wireless->Access List Set the first rule to allow Authentication and Fowarding (ticked) for power levels -80..120 . Set the second rule to have Authentication and Forwarding both unticked in the ranges -120..-81 . On the main Wireless tab make sure Default Authenticate and Default Forwarding are unticked. The levels correspond to the dB signal levels you see registered devices showing. You might have to adjust the cutoff level to -76 or -78, You need to experiment and find a balance. Don't make a typo and have overlapping ranges like -80..120 then -120..-80 as you will end up tearing your hair out. On 18 July 2015 at 13:45, Damien Gardner Jnr <rendrag@rendrag.net> wrote:
Yeah that is REALLY interesting! I often have troubles with my Transformer when i walk into the garage.. I often have to turn wifi off and back on to get it to move from the CRS109 in the office, to the CRS109 in the garage, otherwise it just sits there with spotify jittering. (And then the opposite problem when I get home - my iPhone jumps onto the garage wifi when I pull up on the street, and then goes slow as heck when i walk into the house..)

I have here at home two Mikrotik devices set up with WIFI. * Access list with the cutoff signal below -80.
Ooh, that's interesting. I didn't know you could do that. Sounds like you can reject weak associations?
Could you post a snippet of config please?
I have a client with exactly that problem - devices hang on to the original AP they associated with even unto death rather than switch to the nearby AP.
