My hAP ax2 came loaded with 7.5 but I upgraded to 7.6 straight away before looking around it much when I first got it mid October 2022.

What he said is... BUT setting it up manually gives you a better understanding, at which point I glazed over!
This needs clarifying with Microtik if this further step does or doesn't need doing.

ToTheFull

Great Youtube video ? I beg to differ ...

For me it was very helpful, I can't see why it wouldn't be at a basic level that is anyway.

ToTheFull

Why use capsman if you set the interfaces manually ???

Just checking we are on the same page here, those settings are set in the hAP not the cap!

ToTheFull

Ease of use, less complicated and all the bridging is done for you via the cap in cap mode.
I don't need to add loads of caps, just the one so no point in making a central config for security etc.
Edit: Looking from a home user stand point.

ToTheFull

Yes thats manual settings of the cap and hap your seeing, when capsman is turned on in the hAP ax2 it presents itself as... cap-wifi,cap-wifi2 add is the CAP wifi1,wifi2 set is the HAP And I was using the same ssid apart from last night while testing, hope that clears things up.

FT enabled causes half my old stuff ie apple devices not to connect. Wrong password is what it says I believe, even worse it's now enabled with the default config option via netinstall on the ax2 at least. So for starters I can't use the function.
