Finally support hinting Detect Internet is no good

Can't check right now but I also believe it's access list nowadays.

It would actually be an issue if netisntall would have to be performed through any other port then WAN. What I do agree on is that any device connected to any port on the Routerboard is a potential thread. 1- indeed and that's why with the current process, it remains a non-issue. 2- True but that's...

You can not have AND ISP device AND your PC for netinstall connected at the same time to one single port.
Not without a switch or hub in between.
The fact you need to use ether1 for netinstall, forces you to disconnect whatever WAN device is connected to it.

Again: non-issue.

Wait a minute ... when you netinstall, what other device is connected to that WAN port in order to perform that netinstall ? Tip: not the Big Bad Web ... most likely your PC. Non-issue. Second part is most likely a result from new device mode settings since 7.17rc(whatever). Check that part to enabl...

What it means (after correcting that DHCP pool problem): your pool is completely using the subnet. But it should not be a problem. DHCP server is smart enough to first check if an IP address is already in use before handing it out. But you will not see it right away then. So, couple of options: Eith...

Did you recently upgrade that device manually ?
Check if wifi-qcom package is present.

No, it doesn't and that is the beauty and problem with ROS. There are situations where it might be needed to set something individually on a caps device in capsman mode, deviating from capsman settings. And it is possible do so with ROS. A blessing but also a huge pitfall ... If you set your device ...

Can you open that setting on cap, make it blank and then fold the setting closed ? It might be needed to disable caps mode first (I don't have any legacy capsman installation anymore, so I can not check) That should really make it "not set". And then capsman config should be applied. The t...

Why do you have these set on cap ?
Since they show, it means it deviates from default settings.

antenna-gain=0
country=no_country_set
frequency-mode=manual-txpower
ssid=MikroTik
station-roaming=enabled

Especially that country setting is something I would look into.

Post config for cap please.
It is possible to set things locally which will overwrite capsman settings.

Remember that "stable" in software releases means: "here you have a version that will remain for a while, we will not release a new version every week or two, so you can install this and won't have to update it immediately". The stability refers to the number of updates. It does...

It has been a problem all over the weekend.

For the devices not connecting, use ssid without wpa3.
Some might even need WPA.

Interesting... have to test that in my lab later next week.

I've used Devolo in the past, never had problems with it. But it has been at least 5 years since I don't use them anymore.
(long story short: solar panel convertor practically killed the powerline signal so had separate cat6 cable installed between the points where I used powerline before)

Or maybe - just maybe - there is the possibility that there could be something that needs to be changed in its configuration? If this latter could be the case, a good idea would be to post the current configuration for review (anonymizing the sensible data), instructions here: https://forum.mikroti...

Already filed a ticket to support to report the issue?

Surely you mean wifi-qcom-ac as driver for those caps ? From what I can see in the config of that cap (I assume the failing one ?), VLAN setup is not correct for qcom-ac driver. Difference between wifi-qcom and wifi-qcom-ac is that you need to do all the VLAN work on that AC device yourself. And tho...

From product page / brochure / ... it's not clear. When looking at SFP+ compatibility page, this device is listed but not clear either what speeds are supported.

From product page: 100Mbps SFP support - this is our first device that supports 100BASE-LX/100BASE-SX/100BASE-BX fiber modules, as well as standard 1.25G SFP modules. So, no. 1.25Gbps max for connection speed BUT with a maximum data speed of 1Gbps and when you look at the block diagram, you'll see w...

There was nothing in between your post and mine, so that would make it directed to you, yes.

When using Winbox in the normal way (using IP address) it is common to get kicked out when changing VLAN settings.

Use Winbox MAC address or remove 1 port from your router off bridge and configure from there (setup small DHCP server on that port or again, use Winbox via MAC address).

Now I'm intrigued ... Most (all ?) of the AX wifi issues I see around here are about standalone devices. At home my AX APs are under capsman control. Not a single problem. Nada. I have one capsman setup with 18 AX APs with a customer: zero issues. For the rest no standalone AX devices in place. So I...

Wifi-qcom-ac is a bit different on VLAN part.
- explicitly set VLAN on interfaces on CAP (use create enabled on provisioning part)
- explicitly set VLAN on bridge on CAP
- don't use datapath VLAN setting for those CAPs (separate configuration)

Better to ask via support.
They don't always read all posts here.

Too light.

Light wise and weight wise

Point 1: tick 6 can be obtained when overlaying EOIP or alike over that wireguard connection.
Doesn't even have to be connected to brdige. It just needs to be active.

Adding to that comment from jaclaz and tangent: SWOS or ROS is not going to change anything regarding performance of the device.

How I understood:
If you want to benefit from HW offload where possible (for those devices where it is supported), using bridge for setting up VLANs is the default way already for quite some years.

For starters: 12V input for that camera is already not 802.3<xyz> compliant. So you may need a 12V POE splitter. Can't find installation manual for that camera right away so you may have to check there what it says. Since RB260 is default powered by 24V adapter, that's going to be the voltage applie...

I understand.

Best/safest way:
check how it is done in default config script (terminal: /system def print file=whatever, move file to PC and check contents).
Take over that approach.

At first sight your script looks correct.

Yes there is way to do that with startup script but maybe you first should check if latest version solves this problem (if those boards are not there yet).
I've seen something being mentioned in some of the latest release notes related to startup of LTE interface after boot, that's why I mention it.

AFAIK, it's an LTE antenna, and there is no Wi-Fi*. So if you want to make a PtP link OVER an LTE network, you can do that.

This.
There is no point to point using SXT LTE devices, you have to use LTE network.
And then you can work from there.

File a ticket with all your findings to support@mikrotik.com
The only way to get their attention.
They don't read all posts on this forum since this is a USER forum (users helping other users).

Good catch !

Any specific reason why you want to downgrade ?

And there we go again with "the need for speed"... If RB2011 is currently in use without problems, L009 will definitely be more then sufficient (unless of course a huge ISP upgrade is also in the planning). As for 5GHz, AX-2GHz can go to 400Mbps. Some 5GHz connections don't even get there ...

Could be some config hooks from post-7.13 are still hanging around.

What device are you downgrading ?
Already tried with netinstall (in order to be sure there is no backdoor config hanging around from whatever version) ? Make sure to export your current config first (and verify it is complete) !!

That's because in 7.12 all hooks are present to have an upgrade to 7.13 use "automagically" the correct packages for wifi or wireless.
Even so magically that on a simple switch wireless is also loaded when passing towards 7.13

You can, given restrictions as indicated above.
If it's a device with wifi radio, you need to take care adding the correct wireless/wifi package. That's where the biggest difference with respect to handling of packages is with that version.

L009 is designed as a drop-in replacement for RB2011... just saying.
And it has AX radio so 2 birds with 1 stone.

For further expansion with AX units you're on the safe path then.

If temperature starts climbing the moment you switch it on, there is little else you should do then return it for replacement since it's under warranty.

Observation:
with only 1 wireless device and 1 wifi-qcom device, why use capsman if both radios are incompatible for a single capsman environment ?

Set both up as standalone devices and that's it.

( thread cleaned up so it's back on topic, everyone behave please)

Ah yes, I knew I looked into it in the past

According to this Reddit post it should be possible.

Without seeing how you exactly used the parameters, nobody can answer.

You need to show full config, not only parts where you think it's wrong.

It is not working so there is a config mistake somewhere but probably not in the place you are showing.

If we talk about Mikrotik ... why Hex Refresh and AC2 ?
Both limited in performance depending on what speeds you are planning to get (esp. Hex Refresh if you plan on using ether1 as WAN connection).
What speeds are you looking at ?

Why not AX2 ? Far more capable. Or do you need more ports ?

Can you post the wifi part of your config ?
Make sure passwords are obfuscated (change them so we know they are there but so we can not see what it is).

There is no problem with cAP AX. There is a problem with switches which you want to use in a way which they can not handle. Look at those switches as filters. They don't know about VLAN tags. Most likely they are simply discarding that info so when the packets arrive at cAP AX, there is no VLAN info...

Alternative: create slave ssid only for those devices not using wpa3.

You are choking the tunnel, that's why.
There is nothing left for anything else.

Do speedtest with limit on bandwidth, leave at least 5% over for management connection ( too much but to be safe).
Then test again.

How I see it: You should be able to enable or disable a provisioning rule ( or switch rules). As long as there is no " catch all" rule active, radios should become silent when there is no provisioning rule active. But I think enabling/disabling the cap interface on controller might be easi...

Performance wise, AX3 wins every time vs L009.

Plenty of examples where it does not work. Here are some more: 10Gtek: ASF-10G2-T and ASF-10G-T, former works, latter doesn't https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=1106078&hilit=SFP#p1106078 FoxGate XPON SFP ONU 1001XP-SFP Works on Hex POE but not on L009 https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopi...

Most likely firewall rules.
Check that referenced thread again.

I would go with L009 in stead of hex refresh. A bit more future safe. But every time you add a device, you loose 2 ports on the complete setup for trunk. So better get a bit more ports from the beginning. So why not CSS318 ? A bit more expensive then L009, 16 ether ports, 2 SFP+ for future expansion...

It is even advisable to make a separate slave interface with settings only for those devices and make sure it's properly shielded from the rest of your network (firewall, vlan, ... whatever you like, as long as it is done).

Couple of quick comments
Disable detect internet. Really.
Adjust lease time of dhcp server. 10 minutes is really too short. 30m is default, I use 1hr or even 4hr.
Set in APN use default route.

For routing performance rule of thumb is 512 byte packets, 25 filter rules.
That should give you a rough idea about real-life performance.

If it works after you disconnect and reconnect the client and it works with your Mac, there is nothing wrong with the router, I would think.
It's your Windoooos client playing tricks on you

How does it help? There will be still only 1Gb ports on Chateau.

Apologies, my response was directed to OP with RB5009.

Even with bonding you will never saturate 2 links if only 1 stream is passing.

I think with quickset you should be able to change those things.

Problem is similar with AX Lite. 64bit processor, 32-bit OS. Main reason they gave is that the device does not have enough memory to justify use of 64-bit.

Just tried with wAP AX (which is even further down in power requirements but normally also 802.3af/at only): it will power on using L009 but you have to set POE on ether8 to forced on. Not auto on.

Which is why we need at least some info on what script is running and how.

Otherwise we are all simply guessing.

Why 2 bridges on RB5009 ?
Why 2 bridges on Netmetal ?

There is most likely your problem.

Could someone help me?
If needed I can paste here the entire configuration

You know what to do then ... both sides, please.

who has marded this post solved?

You did.
I "unsolved" it.

And still you are not responding to our request to provide necessary info ...
Screenshots usually don't help.

Possibly BSSID has changed even though your SSID is the same.

PS great contribution here from mkx related to this topic:

And no encryption cyphers selected ?

Can you export wifi part of config ? (leave out passwd etc).
It will show there.

What security settings are you using ?
Quite a bit of IoT devices (and that includes quite a bit of SMART TVs) only accept WPA2 and nothing else.

what is this file.? i have private data that i don't want to publish please tell me what this error is related some bug and error in script that system sched wants to run? or some one from outside wants to inject a script in my os?

In most cases, 1 bridge is all you need. If you are planning on having those AX devices connect to a legacy capsman controller (previous generation), that will NOT work. Are you ? It might be better to follow erlinden's advice and provide a schematic representation of your network also clarifying wh...

I dont know how PM here works.

It doesn't.

Check user manual for reset sequence.
Watching led sequence is more important then counting seconds

Worse case: netinstall.

Ssh / ftp / smb / ... you can even mail them to yourself.
Plenty of options.

Depending on needs for further routing, vlan, discovery, romon, ... EOIP might be better since it will create a virtual interface for which you can do exactly the same as any ethernet interface.
But IPIP should do as well if you only need IP-related functions.

Pay attention to which public key you place where and make sure each peer has a unique address.

If that doesn't help, indeed post config for review.
All peers.

A bit too much for my liking.

At least using Wireguard I know you can selectively specify which subnet should go over VPN and which not.
I suppose OpenVPN can do the same ?

Personal preference is WG, though

It's more resource friendly and faster and less chatter to keep the connection.

DuckDNS should be able to do it.
I already used it in the past just for that.

Plenty of script examples available

It depends.

Maybe you need to clarify in a lot more detail what you are planning to do ?
A logical workaround would be to use VPN on only those devices, then you control what comes via that VPN and what not.

With the arrival of vendor drivers for wave2, that option went away.

Wireless legacy drivers were completely made in house, so much more control over what could be done.

It's not a good idea to actively block clients using access list.
Some clients might avoid such an AP completely.

Unless that's your aim, then I wonder why you keep using the same SSID for that frequency ?

Oh
My
God
....

It shows who has everything to say in your household.

You can have both capsman versions on the same controller.
You can not have seamless roaming between both controllers.

It is what it is.

Check your routes.

And then the router will ... route.

Should be default there if you have ROS 7.13 or higher, under wifi menu.

Uh ??

What ROS version ?
There was a change in ROS 7.14 where "no country" results in "Latvia".

Already contacted support about it ?

They don't read all posts here since this is a user forum.

You shouldn't even set datapath at all on CAPs side.

There are some limitations when using wifi-qcom-ac driver, mainly VLANs can not be dynamically asigned. 802.11ac chipsets do not support this type of VLAN tagging , but they can be configured as VLAN access ports in bridge settings. = you shouldn't use vlan-id in datapath on AC device. Adding: use ...

How long did it take for wap AX to come out ?

Let's assume they are working on it.

RB5009 even has a 3th powering option on the side.

Also, POE version of RB5009 can be powered using POE on ALL 8 ether ports.

Do you have any informations that RB5009UPr+S+IN can be tricky when using 2.5Gbit port for ISP and transfer goes above 1Gbit and also SPF+ i utilized to connect to CRS326-24G-2S+RM SPF+, I have read that there are some problems that router can make lags or some kind of problems?. Not that I am awar...

Yes.
Surely your default subnet is not going to be 192.168.88.0/24, is it ?

That's a logical consequence from daisy-chaining those switches one after the other. Only the part which is behind the switch which breaks down, will go down. If it's the first one, everything goes down. If it's the last one, only 24 clients will go down. If it's the RB5009 going down, everything is...

Anyway, I think I'm going to test in my office if it is possible to add the wifiwave2 driver to the AC2s and link them with the L009UiGS-2HaxD with the same driver. I'm not sure if it will work, but we have to try it. It will work. I have several AC devices runing wifi-qcom-ac package without probl...

This is VERY odd indeed ?!

And did you try simply using the mips package as it indicates ?
Because what strikes me as equally odd, is that same QCA9533 CPU is used in mAP Lite and cAP Lite and those ARE mips devices. Not SMIPS.

In that case you have another option but you should thoroughly test it ... hAP AC2 can also make use of wifiwave2 drivers (wifi-qcom-ac) IF you're not doing other things on that device (plain switch, pure AP, nothing more). Problem with AC2 is that it has a quite limited storage and using wifi-qcom-...

I am going to assume all your other access points are using legacy wireless (read: not AX). And there is your problem now. See this Help page: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/1409138/Wireless and this: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/224559120/WiFi For AX radios capsm...

Yes. And the beauty ? On CRS326 you do not have to do anything except for changing IP address.

Sure.
That's how it default starts.
You only need to look at the IP address, rest of config default starts as a pure switch (because ... that's what it is !).

Topic locked since the exact same question is already being handled in another thread.

Having just purchased all material for a small shop, bit of router functions and 4 APs which needed to be POE powered. Some printers, some PCs. About 10 connections in total.

It seems to be working now, checking from Greece. BTW, free service means "Best effort" SLA... If critical systems depend on connectivity other means should be used for DDNS, usually with a fee.

Correct attitude !
