Good Evening to All,

Yesterday I was working on a pair of Ubiquiti PB-300 radios with AREDN 3-19 firmware. They were linked when I pulled their power and today, I cannot get them to like again. Each radio is reachable by Ethernet and the opposite end shows up in a scan as a "Foreign Ad Hoc Network".

I have tried all settings, channels, default values, etc and nothing seems to work. It's probably something simple that I am missing.

Any insight or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I have checked the names and bandwidths and all are correct. I did not mention in the first post that the two nodes are located approx. 20 feet apart and both are on low (5dbm). When the scan is used, the other radio shows -70dbm as a signal strenth.

Thanks again,
Wayne

Link Update

Thanks to all for your help. I noticed this morning that I fat fingered the SSID by adding a digit. Once both nodes had the same ID, they linked up fine.

Please mark this query as closed.

Regards to all,

Fat-fingered.
