Same issue here as kalamaja's post (October 18th).
Running 7.12.1, latest radio firmware. With PIN on, LTE is functional only after disable & enable the interface.
Solved with disabling PIN from SIM card.

AllexRo

I bet hap ac3, with WifiWave2 drivers, would perform closer to your expectations - you could test it briefly as a stand-alone unit.
BTW, what is your ISP speed? To understand what that 50% is really about..

AllexRo

Another issue: when it starts roaming, any device sees major speed degradation. Example: phone registers initially with CAP (866/866 phy rate), has full speed (500/25 Mbps, tested with fast.com). I move it to the room where Main takes control over it, is registered with Main (866/866 phy rates) and ...

AllexRo

I recently also did the same setup with two hAP ax2 and FT works great. I don't know if it's a specific Audience issue... However the important thing is that it works :lol: Yep, it's good that it works :D Before making the modification I wrote earlier, I tried all possible combos between security p...

AllexRo

I think I nailed it - the issue came from using security profiles defined in the "security" tab and assigned within the profiles defined in "configuration". As soon as I moved all security details in the configuration profiles and disabled the security profiles, roaming started t...

AllexRo

Try with "Disable PMKID" on.
Forget network from both phones, register once again and see if the problem re-appears.

AllexRo

TBH, i'm not sure that config was successful.
iPhones are the only ones that provide a FT-related message and is an error, even after restarting the.
Android phones don't generate any message in the log and show no signs of attempting to move between main or CAP.

AllexRo

An iphone device generates this error in the logs, when in area of CAP.

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX@cap-wifi2 rejected, FT: FTE indicated that STA uses RSNXE, but RSNXE was not included

Any particular (lack of) setting in the FT area that causes this?

AllexRo

You have to give more details: - what device is it? android, ios? seems like an ios - what's your router/ap configuration? depending on device, go in Winbox to terminal and write: /interface/wireless export hide-sensitive or if you have of the new AX devices: /interface/wifiwave2 export hide-sensiti...

AllexRo

massinia , apart from your config using WPA2 (vs. WPA2/WPA3 with SAE and hunting-pecking in my case), provisioning set up as dynamically-enabled (vs. enabled in my case) and slave-configuration (btw, in this section of your setup, shouldn't "WiFiOspiti 5GHz" be slave of 5 GHz and "Wi...

Since Honor50 is relatively new device, you could try different settings for the security protocol. What I have right now, and works with all devices (I don't have a Honor, but somewhat a brother of it, Huawei), is this setting: /interface wifiwave2 security add authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-ps...

AllexRo

In provisioning did you set the same configuration? Are you using VLAN? Yes, local interfaces and provisioning use the same config. No VLANs. I've attached the export file for interface/wifiwave2 config.rsc So basically, based on what Guntis said in the other thread, for the time being functioning ...

AllexRo

2 Audience units, running 7.9beta4 with WifiWave2. I (hope I) made the setup using the guide, as I'm interested in the fast roaming. Main unit, the Capsman, reports this, concerning FT and FT-over-DS main.png However, checking the CAP, corresponding interface reports this slave.png Shouldn't be the ...

AllexRo

in capsman set these settings:
ft=yes. ft-over-ds=yes

The Xiaomi device cannot connect via Wifiwave2, it only cycles connected and after 2s disconnected.

i have hAP ac3

If I connect via the old hAP lite, everything works immediately.

Check this out - I had similar issues with a OnePlus phone, issues solved after applying that fix.

AllexRo

Not sure where the problem is - I also have a PiHole in the network layout but DHCP is done by router; I use it only to filter DNS. I managed to re-create the network - hexPoe and both Deco's connected individually, directly to hex, main in port 2, slave (bedroom) in port 3. The screenshot is taken ...

AllexRo

Try this: disconnect all 3 Decos and power them down. Power up the main M4 and connect it to Mikrotik router - don't connect anything to its 2nd eth port. After it signals that everything is ok (I assume LED will turn from red to green), power up second M4 and connect its cable. Again, no other devi...

AllexRo

My case was also the 3rd one: both X60s connected to a TP-Link switch which was connected to hex router.
If your config is same as mine, try connecting the second M4 directly to main M4, just to test if the switch is to blame.

AllexRo

Who is the producer of your Mesh? I'm asking because I tested for a long period of time a TPLink Deco X60 mesh, set as AP mode, connected to a Mikrotik HexPoe; Deco units reported Ethernet backhaul.

AllexRo

For frequency 5500, DFS time may be 10 minutes, at least for EU countries. Anyway, you can check the status in the lower right corner of the wlan2 window.

AllexRo

Best wireless performance is with Wifi Wave2 drivers - and hap ac3 supports them. However, I got also pretty good results with Mikrotik wireless drivers, from ver 7.2.1 onwards. So, apart from trying RouterOS stable 7.2.1, I'd change the following: - Band N/AC - do you really need A? - go for a spec...

AllexRo

As I'm really not that confident that I'd setup VLANs properly, I used the #3 solution from here, the one with EOIP tunnels.

AllexRo

As a home user with a relatively simple network, I'm quite ok with Audience running 7.x. To be honest, even with Mikrotik proprietary drivers, wireless performance feels significantly better than it was before. So I'm not considering shelfing them.. yet

AllexRo

How should interpret the fact that, if I make no settings under the encryption area of the Security settings tab of Wireless, 2 devices that previously had problems now connect without any issues? Basically CCMP/CCMP256/GCMP/GCMP256 are no longer checked, while WPA2PSK/WPA3PSK are still checked.. an...

AllexRo

Mixing QuickSet with manual config may lead to problems so I recommend starting fresh. How I'd do, if I were in your situation - via Winbox on a computer connected eth to Chateau, connect to hap ac (this being also connected via eth to Chateau) and reset it with no default configuration (that would ...

AllexRo

In hap AC, put all ports (eth and wlan) under the same bridge. And then, set DHCP client for the bridge.
Afterwards, in Chateau DHCP server/leases, you can assign a manual static lease to hap ac, with the desired IP address.

AllexRo

Started from scratch... and what is, in detail, the current configuration of Audience? All ports (2x etc + 3x wlan) in one bridge, bridge as DHCP client etc?

AllexRo

On a pair of Audience I've been on ROS7 since initial versions with Wave2. With this release is the first time I'm having an issue with company laptop - a Dell equipped with AC8265. The message "Can't connect to this network" and searching in its Windows 10 wlan- Autoconfig Event log there...

AllexRo

Thanks, mkx.
I've added both gcmps and now Oneplus randomly connects - which is an improvement from not connecting at all.
Probably something in Oxygen OS doesn't like Mikrotik's approach to WPA3.

AllexRo

Regarding Wifi Wave2 drivers and setting them up, could someone share must-have/best practice settings, especially for the security module? My current setup is a pair of Audience, running 7.2rc5 with Wave2 drivers. I had no issues setting up the Configuration & Channel module, however I'm not su...

AllexRo

How about resetting the hap mini with no configuration, then bridging all ports, make it dhcp client, setup wifi and see if the problem is still there?
Maybe there's something in that quickset config that conflicts with your network setup.

AllexRo

What is the AP that you're using and how is it configed? Did you try to play the game from a PC, to see if the problem persists? Any queue setup? I constantly play via Moonlight: PC is eth connected to a gigabit switch, connected to Audience. The laptop where I play the game is connected to same Aud...

AllexRo

Gennadiy, i've used this guide to succesfully resuscitate a couple of Audiences and a hap ac2. Match the netinstall version to the firmware you want to revert to and, if ac3 doesn't show up, try another version - I had a situation like yours, where netinstall version opened would not see the device ...

AllexRo

hexPoE, tested RC4 then reverted to 6.47.10 - did this twice with the procedure described above, with no problems whatsoever.

AllexRo

There's something weird with the marked area in my screenshot - long number is most probably in bytes, as the label, but the GiB in the end is wrong.
This is captured on Winbox 3.30, on an Audience running Wifi Wave2 7.1 rc3.

AllexRo

Someone had a very in-depth review of the Audience, with some teardown pictures: https://mikrotik-routeros.com/2019/10/m ... -teardown/
Maybe it helps..

AllexRo

With no intention to hijack this thread, what router from Mikrotik lineup would be recommended to power-up a couple of Audiences? Would hEX PoE be enough?

AllexRo

Agreed. I made that suggestion for testing only, the eliminate a possible cause.

AllexRo

Try it with Tkip instead of AES. Some Xiaomi models have the same problem, solved by switching to Tkip.

AllexRo

Yeah, I too noticed that my Audience's weird behavior has something to do with the 2.4 radio.
And the "solution" is the same: rebooting the router. I guess we have to wait for beta 6, maybe it solves this issue.

AllexRo

Anyone with an ok-running Audience willing to share their wireless settings?. sure, here you go, i use it as a single AP, the 2x2 5Gig radio is disabled. it replaced a wAP ac (1st gen) a cap-ac, and a mAP. and i get ~500-600Mbps throughput with it. runs rock stable Thank you, doneware ! Apparently,...

AllexRo

Anyone with an ok-running Audience willing to share their wireless settings? Mine, after setup, works ok a while (ranging from 10 minutes to 1-2 hours) then something crashes the internet connectivity and I can't find any relevant information in the log. Problem is solved only with a unit restart .

AllexRo

I've managed to solve the issue and get them working; I had to set up manually all 3 interfaces (my nightmare..) so that Capsman would manage them correctly, because the initial configuration when resetting Audience was causing the SSID issue. I did my best in configuring them but.. i'm not happy wi...

Hi Hoov, This is the wireless configuration running on my Audience; by no means it's the ideal one since I'm not a network professional and this setup is based on what I've managed to "steal" as information from this community. this setup runs ok on a daily use with 25+ devices. # dec/29/2...

AllexRo

So, B connected via WiFi is downloading from my eth-connected NAS with 80 MB/s which is in line with its reported Rx/Tx rate of 1300 Mbps.
Shouldn't this speed happen between the 2 clients?

AllexRo

Curious enough, when both tested with Speedtest, each of them achieves ~470/25 Mbps, my contract being 500/25.

AllexRo

I have the standard wlan1+2+3 and 1 virtual wlan4 linked to wlan1.

A & B both are running Win10 on SSDs that do ~500 MB/s sequential r...

AllexRo

Oh well, 30 MB/s it is then.. I tried with default data rates, now I'm back @ 12/24 and 12-54. I gave a try to "keep alive frames" but speed was the same and mobile phones lost a lot of battery. Hopefully MT does something with their wireless software - I read in the past that they were in...

AllexRo

Agreed! And I installed 6.46.8 this morning, I also fiddled a bit with the settings: switched from country US to country RO, also changed the channel to 5500 Ceeeeeee - no changes. Defaulted the data rates - no change. Won’t get over 30 MB/s..

AllexRo

try with keepalive frames=enabled

Gave it a try with that option enabled.. again, it maxes out @ ~30 MB/s

AllexRo

I had that option ON but I noticed that, with it OFF, mobile phones have a better battery life.

AllexRo

It's running latest stable, 6.46.5. But, I live in EU so it's a EU version - could it be that US version has limitations? On hap ac2, it's clearly mentioned on product page: - hAP ac²-US (USA) is factory locked for 2412-2462MHz, 5170-5250MHz and 5725-5835MHz frequencies. This lock can not be removed...

AllexRo

This is my setup for my Audience's wlan3. After setting it up, remember to give it time to scan for radar - some 5 to 10 minutes. All this time, frontal Led will blink red and afterwards, when interface is active but no clients registered to, it will turn blue. As soon as a device registers to wlan3...

AllexRo

If you already set 20/40/80/160mhz-Ceeeeeee, may I suggest selecting fixed frequency 5500. Or 5520 for eCeeeeee. Or choose another +20Mhz-step frequency up to 5640 with eeeeeeeC.

AllexRo

No, you cannot. Wlan3 is usable only with that frequency range. In a topic somewhere in here, someone stated that even if you could bypass this limitation via software, there's also some-sort of a hardware lock. So, for channel 36, use wlan2.

AllexRo

May I suggest moving all those Google devices to the 2.4 GHz network and see if they manifest the same similar problem?
After all, I think that 2.4 GHz offers enough bandwidth for what they need/offer and I've seen many cases of Google Home devices having issues with 5GHz networks.

AllexRo

You are running 5765 Ceee, this is wrong, should be 5745 Ceee or 5765 eCee heidarren , could you please direct me to some sources on how to choose correctly the Ceee...eeeC for each channel?
