BPWL and I are kind the opposite sides of the spectrum. I am the harshest critic of the things I work with. While he has a serious fan girl blind spot when it comes to Mikrotik. If he actually looked at another wifi vendor and provided them the feed back he is capable of... There would be a real wif...

The cAP AC XL that was released in 2022 is Wifi ACv1 with no upgrade path. So 2014 radio standard... 8 years later. The audience wifi wave2 driver would bring it to ACv2. A 2016 standard. Which they are just getting into caps-man in 2023... 7 years late. Outside of the 60Ghz PtP line... It's pretty ...

Send it to support describing the issue.

Is there even a status page that show the current DHCP info?

I see where it shows dynamic with fall back address. But not an actual status.

I thought that was only in the beta?

The host table doesn't show IP or VLAN ID... Ugh.

This CSS610-8P-2S+IN looks a solid replacement for the Ubiquti EdgeSwitch ES8-150 on paper.

But the SwitchOS Lite... wow that's quite a jump from working with the CRS328-24P and CRS326-24G.

That feeling of... "Where is..." gets pretty daunting pretty quick.

Or is that the RB5009UPr+S+IN?

For $99, good luck finding a gigabit AP other than hAP ax2.
Actually market is full of other brand AX AP's for half of that.

The F--k it is?

The cheapest competitor in the US would be UniF--k AP lite. Which is $100.

WPS button (as a physical button) is equally insecure in my view (ok, I admit, less insecure since you need to have physical access to the AP to press it). The end-result is however the same. Someone able to press that button can gain access to the wireless network without a problem. But it is a fa...

Syadnom, The issue there is that even in router OS 7... The current radios can't use wifiwave2... 7 years after the ratification of ACv2. I can't subject clients to that.

@gotsprings - I imagine your issues with mikrotik fall under the umbrella of 'routeros <=6 feel so far behind that many issues are fundamentally unfixable'.

Syadnom, I have also been forced into Cambium. But for indoors. There are real quirks that annoy the crap out of me. But when I brought them a show stopping bug... They actually fixed it. I have found other things for them that should have been fixed in QC. But from what I can tell, these "bugs...

Quote of the day...
"It doesn't matter what it costs, if it DOESN'T F--KING WORK!"

The boss was arguing with the Point of Sales guys... As a test we put their SSID on our radios and unplugged theirs... Strangely, all the handhelds the waiters use actually worked.

Weird.

gotsprings

No, there is a single DNS server instance which listens on all local interface addresses.

You can absolutely pick different DNS servers for different dhcp-server.

Like setting the guest network dhcp-server to point to something like 1.1.1.3.

While the main network uses 192.168.88.1.

gotsprings

You should reduce txpower for 2.4GHz wifi as clients usually connect to the *strongest* signal on the same SSID. This MUM-Video by Ron Touw is an eye-opener ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbAqie1_AM Turn off the power for the 2.4 all together. See if clients CAN connect to the 5GHZ signal. Then...

gotsprings

If you enable IP cloud... It will show you the netname and serial number.

It fails at this step?
It doesn't show the serial number.sn.mynetname.net?
Does it show the public IP correctly?

If you open terminal and enter

Does it show the public IP and netname?

Besides fixed channels, you can also read this topic:

Summarized: check DHCP lease time and use 40MHz channelwidth on 5GHz and 20MHz on 2.4GHz radio.

The wifiwave2 package exists for the 5009 so that it can run as a capsman. But what radios work with that driver is the issue. Right now. Audience, WAP AC3 currently available. The AX stuff when it comes along. But all those cap AC XLs you bought in 2022... They don't have an upgrade path the WAVE2.

Currently... On my caps-man systems... Iphones connect. But every couple of days... All the iMacs refuse to connect. This can be 6 hours after a reboot...

I was figuring you were going to "put the WAP where the clients are". The router tends to be located "wherever the ISP can bring in the network." I tend not to sit in the basement closet. So my WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WAP) is in my living room. The hAP AC3 sitting in my living roo...

While the old driver provides a lot more features and tweaks, but... It comes with connectivity problems. No MU-MIMO. And a habit of giving up in noisy environments.
