Re: Can a WAP / CAP be plugged into non-Mikrotik switch? (do have other Mikrotik switches in network) [SOLVED]

Yes, you can use switch of other brands. If you need VLAN then you need a "smart switch" that can manage them.
In my network only the switches aren't Mikrotik (i already had them from the previous network) and Capsman works well.
Great, thanks for confirming.

Thank you.

Can a WAP / CAP be plugged into non-Mikrotik switch? (do have other Mikrotik switches in network) [SOLVED]

I need to extend my wifi with either a WAP AC or a CAP AC (haven't which one decided yet). I have a backbone of HAP AC2 and HAP Lite, but where I can run this particular ethernet cable from for the WAP/CAP is a dumb tp-link gigabit switch (cabled back to a Mikrotik) I would use the included POE inje...

Simple Guide / Advice /default setup for Home wi-fi setup of Hap AC2 and Hap AC Lite

I have a Hap AC2 downstairs (main router connected to 80 down / 20 up ADSL internet in the UK). I then have a Hap AC Lite upstairs (connected to the AC2 via ethernet) Ethernet wired devices can make full use of the 80/20 connection. I've got the Hap devices configured in Capsman with a single SSID, ...

Can a hAP AC Lite power a Hex RB750Gr3 over POE?

I have a hAP AC Lite powered by PSU.

If I buy and attach a Hex RB750Gr3 to expand port count, can I power the Hex through the POE port from the hAP AC Lite?

Thanks.

Acceptable distance/range for HAP AC2 and HAP AC Lite combo? Less than 7m?

Relative MikroTik newbie, so please bear with me. I have 1 x HAP AC2 and 2 HAP AC Lite. The main issue I have is with the range of the HAP AC2 that is in the front room. If i'm sat just 6 or 7 metres away in the dining room with barely anything in the way I get drop outs / disconnected (I think beca...

Re: Multiple SSID on HAP AC2 capsman - can't get it to work

Thanks for the comments, checked the provided doc, couldn't see anything that I hadn't already done. I'm not using separate VLANs, I just want the new SSID in the existing single VLAN set up. If you don't want to use vlan what is the point to have multiple SSID? I have a wireless printer that has q...

Re: Multiple SSID on HAP AC2 capsman - can't get it to work

On the device running as Caps-Man... Slave SSIDs don't get added to the bridge by default. Open bridge and add the ports. I have seen this on several units now. Thanks for the reply. But checking my bridge (bridge1) on the capsman unit, it already has all ethernet ports (excluding the one internet ...

Re: Samsung M2026W printer - capsman - 4 way handshake failure [SOLVED]

Its because of the security configuration used. Maybe the device does not support newer encryption algorithms... What is the encryption you use ? Thank you for replying, think I might have sorted it. I had both aes ccm and tkip set for both encryption and group encryption. No matter what combinatio...
