I took my M2 Rocket w/ 120° sector antenna, and NanoBridge M5 up to the East side of Bountiful just north of the "B". I was able to "see" several 2 Ghz nodes. including the two omni bullets that are behind my garage and a row of pine trees, but could not see any 5 Ghz nodes. I tried pointing towards Antelope Island and to the North, as well as South West towards SLC and Farnsworth Peak. Nothing either Mesh or WiFi scan. The NBM5 is on channel 182, 23 mwatts, and SSID=AREDN. I did the download from the web site on Saturday, so i think it is up to date.
Any suggestions?
Try different bandwidth settings.
A "WiFi Scan" only scans at the currently selected bandwidth setting.
I will do that. Once the snow stops.
What a difference that made. I changed the bandwidth and now it sees things. Thank-you.

Having a tough time connecting from west valley using my microtik lhg 5xl. Im on ch 182 and using AREDN ssid. Any suggestions? Mostly I've been pointing north towards airport or NW towards antelope island. Not sure i trust what is on ardenmesh.orgs's map.
make sure that you check the "last updated" timestamp on the map. It is up to the individual operator to keep it up to date if they make changes....
