IGMP Snooping still broken for me on RC25... Anyone using IGMP Snooping? I have it enabled on a single vlan and do see entries under the igmp tab, but have not tested any further than that. I use IGMP snooping on my network and I see entries on tab. I use it as simple switch, no vlans or other comp...

I had simmilar issue. Try latest long-term version. I had this issue on latest stable and testing release. After rolling all devices to long-term issue was gone.

WiFi extension is not the greatest thing to do, if you can run wires. Quick advice. Yep we will always use wires. Unless it is to far away that I have to use point 2 point. I hope you adjust TX gain on APs. It is hard to say what is going on you premises, a proper spectral scan would be the best th...

Hi thanks for the advice. Yes on one of the building I have installed two AP in SE and SW around 4m above ground, with SE extend from SW AP. I see some undesireable effect, the signal kind of bumping each other that cause some inteference in some part of the building. I use a signal range rule in c...

You can do it whit MT, but You wont like what I will say. That is a high density network and you can use stadium AP deployment method. (don't quote me on name) Every AP can handle around 25 users. You count 25 chairs in cycle and deploy AP under them. Adjust TX gain, channel etc so on AP handles ar...

I would say in the center of the area (ceiling mount) facing down.......... Yes I would like to do this, but the building is pointy one and doesn't have any horizontal beam. So I have to find second best placement. Most of the user is in the front side of the building. In case if it is not enough I...

6m above ground will be too high in my opinion.

maigonis

I have done channel analysis near the routers and I have to say: channels are pretty busy :D

I am considering 5 GHz more and more.

5GHz is a way to go nowdays, not because of MT WiFi quality. 2.4GHz have way too noise, interfierance and low troughtput.

maigonis

You will need APs, one router will not cover it all. How many customer usually you have?

maigonis

Another potential problem with roaming .... We can see that devices in IOS, Android, Windows 10, massively start to switch to private MAC addresses. (The user was never asked to enable this, the update just did it!) The rules on how dynamic those changes in MAC addresses are, are not clear to me, b...

Overall you are on right track. Hardware choice is good. hap ac2/3 and cap ac is a way to go in my opinion. My suggestion will be on planing. Before buying all gear I recommend buying one cap ac or hap ac2 to test it out, measure performance and adjust configuration to your needs. After you will kno...

As my iot devices are on 2.4ghz network and I use 5ghz for, basicaly, everything else I have setup vlans whit the same ssid. Then I isolated2.4ghz network, so no China can spy my stuff.

Do they get DNS server from DHCP?

maigonis

Just my two cents. Only way as i can see is deploying more APs, a lot more... As members are mentioned before, WiFi is a two way street as all networks and mobile devices, like phones, have low power antenas. I they can hear AP that doesn'y mean that AP hears them. Setup one test AP that is mobile a...

Thank you for answer, but still I'm unable to access cameras. I can access any other device on network, except cameras.

PS: Those are Hikvison DS-2CD2032-I cameras, i can access them on remote site.

Hi. I'm trying to setup VPN on remote site, so I can access IP cameras. I have deployed Hap as VPN server. My issue is whit subnets.

Post your client device PHY speed.

Have you tried disabling lower datarates?

maigonis

Try router in different environment, for example at work or at friends house. And can you post APs TX power?

I would just buy an RB450Gx4 for routing and consumer-grade APs for Wi-Fi instead. Currently using a TP-Link Archer A10 for AP, getting 400Mbps wireless bandwidth performance without a hitch on the 5GHz band, 100Mbps straight on the 2.4GHz band.

I had massive issues on 6.47.2, so I downgraded to long term fw. CAP connection to Capsman was horrible, no client could connect to APs.

Shouldn't we be seeing the changelog from 6.45.9 to 6.46.7 not from 6.46.6 ? Going up a major version in a long-term release should be looked over a bit more carefully before we take the plunge.
Yes, that would be logical.
Mikrotik fought the Logic and Mikrotik won.

Flawless victory.

If you want more stable connection and coverage buy more APs, deploy one in every room where wifi is important. If we talk about speed then you, most probably, have clients only whit 2x2 antenas, check that to be sure. You already have 2x2 AP. Speed around 300-400mbps is what you will get from 2x2 ...

In short: you can't. 1st of all, it would be against idea of VLANs which is separation between (V)LANs. 2nd it would mean that certain L2 network functions whould have to be somehow shared between different L2 networks (such as DHCP server and gateway MAC and IP address) to make it work seamlessly....

maigonis

To get better coverage, use "as many accesspoints" as possible (read necessary). i.e. I have one accesspoint per floor and one in the garden. Perhaps you can share your configuration ( /export hide-sensitive file=router ) to give some additional tips!? That is about right. It feels like M...

maigonis

As I understand then you are pinging from wifi client device that is connected to AP? Try isolate issue by testing network stability from CAP to CAPSMAN server.

Is it possible to setup layer 3 roaming? I have setup Capsman (main network router as server) whit CAPs on separate VLANs, if client device roams it gets a new IP. It is fine for me at home lab, but it can cause issues if I deploy this configuration at work. My configuration: # aug/02/2020 00:07:19 ...

If you want to use ac2 as wifi AP and a switch basically then this is an option. I recommend using hap ac2 as Capsman server as it is more powerfull. Read Mikrotik wiki to setup simple Capsman network.

maigonis

Firstly, thanks for having exactly the same problem as me... on the same weekend. Rare :-) One question though... I had originally set up the provisioning in capsman as "create dynamic enabled" rather than "create enabled" (which is where I was running into problems not being ab...

maigonis

Hi! In my opinion, you are approaching this in a bad way. Let me explain. When you link an Access point to CAPSMAN, that said AP will provide its Radios. The Radio is the physical component of the AP which does the WIFI emitting. Most APs will provide 2 Radios, one for 2.4 Ghz and one for 5 GHz. Ca...

maigonis

Can you explain why provisioning rules won't work in your config to provision the virtual APs? For each radio that is managed by capsman, you really need to manage it via capsman, otherwise you are defeating the purpose of using capsman. For example, how can I set TX power, fixed channel, security ...

I have dynamic, it's ok.

But I cant edit interfaces whit dynamic, that is the issue.

Can you first explain why you need/want multiple SSID's? Do you also use VLAN's? Mostly for educational purposes. I work in school and I'm planning to deploy Mikrotik APs in classrooms, hallways, rest areas etc. I will manage them whit Capsman. As usual, I will need one ssid for administration, one...

Hi. I'm planning to add multiple SSIDs to my home network. I have setup Capsman whit manually added interfaces, for more fine tuning purposes. As I understand then adding multiple SSIDs is super easy in Provisioning whit slave configs, but this will not work in my configuration. How can I add multip...

Sounds like RF interfierence for me. Scan for clean channel as sef it fixed I've tried that. Currently have both antennas set to 2427 to try and mitigate the problem.

ksuuk, don’t rush with sharing suggestions before fully understanding the situation. Last test: take the cAP AC to some other connection and try out there to rule out your edge router’s jam. I agree on test in different network. I had similar speeds on hap (just hap, no ac2 or something). As I kept...

I tested hap ac2 (they are almost the same unit) speeds on Thursday, both 2.4ghz and 5ghz speeds in CAP mode.

I now have RB450x4 as main router and hap ac2 and cap ac as APs. Before RB450x4 I had hex s as main router. I can get around 200mbps on APs whit capsman forwarding and 80mhz channel width. I have issues whit local forwarding also, so I don't use it. Have you played whit channels? Turn off old bands ...

Well, now that am thinking about it, if you want to isolate WiFi Clients so that they cant sommunicate to each other, all of them or just a part of them, am not really sure if it can happen since every WiFi client connected will be in the same VLAN, will have the same tag... @anav what is your opin...

maigonis

Yes, @Zacharias, I know. Thats why I asked about it. Is vlans then the best solution? I don't prefer more SSIDs as they use more router resources ans fill up airtime, so vlans it is.

@anav , I hope that I will find how to boost those speeds.

maigonis

@anav in case CapsMan is used, in order to isolate clients, you must go on the CapsMan Datapath configuration and there set the propery client-to-client-forwarding to yes... I have done that. My issue was that some how still I can ping some clients, but after reapplying config all is good now. I as...

But not all features are available on Capsman etc. Under social i...

Yes but my understanding is that forwarding checkbox is for isolating clients from each other inside the same WLAN interface and has nothing to do with capsman. (I could be wrong but that is my impression). In terms of isolating clients, this is easily accomplished using vlans for each segment of y...

If you had the TP-245 units AC1750 going to the capac hapac would probably been a slight step down in wifi. However they should perform equally as well as the TP225 units.
