A MikroTik Lite which has successfully connected to other AREDN units and a TP-Link CPE210 which does not seem able to communicate with another unit.
Both units are in the same room. Channel and bandwidth the same. Upper screen is the TP-Link, lower is the MikroTik. Neither find the other in a scan. Any ideas?

Mikrotik linking

There are known issues with Mikrotik units (at least hap ac Lite and Basebox) not linking when configured for a 5 MHz bandwidth. If that's your case, try 10 MHz bandwidth everywhere.

Great info thanks.

Great info thanks.

In general, do you need to manually scan for neighbors when adding new units or will the automatically find each other assuming channel and bandwidth are the same?

"automatically find each other assuming channel and bandwidth are the same?"

Yes.
They will automatically accept each other into the network, if SSID, channel, and bandwidth are the same?

Missing Basics

I am following some of the newbie guides and seem to be missing something (or the guide is outdated).
I can find the Basic Setup page but no Radio Page or Tool Icon.
