I'm seeing frequent disconnects with one of my security cameras too (on the 2.4GHz radio). My suspicion is that this unit is faulty somehow, and I'll look into returning it.
No luck with forcing the channel down below 100. Here's what I decided to do: rather than figure out how to specify the channel explicitly, I simply restricted the Frequency range so that it could only choose a channel from 36 to 64. Sure enough, the Macbook Pro showed for the first time that it was on a channel other than 100, 80MHz. This time it was on channel 64, 80MHz.
But, sadly, the same disconnect problem happened.
Here is the current config.
It's the same problem as before: the Macbook Pro thinks it has a valid wifi connection; the Mikrotik doesn't list the Mac any more in the Registration list, and there is no network traffic between the two. Eventually the Mac figures out that it has lost network traffic and then attempts to reconnect to the Wifi, which succeeds (usually but not always) and then it's up for about 10 to 30 seconds before dying again.
Combined with the rare but non-zero disconnects on the 2.4GHz radio, I'm losing hope this will be fixed.
