Any reason why you are not using 10.172.12.0/23 ?

I would use CAPsMAN, that will give you the option to manage the network with one device.

erlinden

Perhaps having a DHCP scope consisting of a single IP address can do this for you? Bind the DHCP server to this interface (port) and set a short lease time.

erlinden

There is only one correct CAPsMAN version managing ax (wifi-qom) devices. This is part of RouterOS version 7.13 and up.
No need to install anything additional (like wifi-qcom-ac or wireless) for having CAPsMAN.

erlinden

Very good combination, the wifi-qcom-ac is only beneficial if you need wireless on your hAP ac3. Otherwise, @infabo mentioned, you can uninstall it.

erlinden

If I recall correctly however, ping (ICMP) is allowed inbound by default. I prefer to block this via firewall rule.

Actually, ICMP traffic is accepted. It is used for more then ping only.

erlinden

Can someone help?

Depends on how you want it to work exactly. Fyi, legacy supports CAPsMAN forwarding, wifi-qcom(-ac) doesn't.

erlinden

And how can i disable the port for everyone else

Add a drop rule on the forward chain that drops everything else:

add action=drop chain=forward

Make sure this rule is at the end of your rules.

I prefer the "allow specific traffic and drop everything else" way of thinking.

Now I see...you don't want to have your IP address of the accesspoint in the same range as the office IP.

erlinden

Looks like MGT and CORP VLAN are messed up. I.e. the different network ranges are incorrect. Start with a basic setup and follow the topic by the letter. Then make changes as desired.

In regards to no access, are you using Winbox? Does it show up on discovery?

And in addition to @holvoetn complete answer: when upgrading through CAPsMAN, all packages are required (and installed). Manual upgrade is, as far as I know, the only way to miss packages.

Could it be a cache problem? Have you tried using an InPrivate session?

erlinden

Removing and adding the slave interfaces did the trick...working as expected and befor.

It is indeed, hence you should install the wireless-7.xx.x-mipsbe.npk package (which is located in the \MIPSBE\Extra packages file.

I did configure it with VLAN on the bridge, and the HOME network is working perfectly with VLAN ID 50, GUEST on VLAN ID 51 isn't (actually, it created interfaces dynamically with VLAN ID 1 for the GUEST network, hence there were MGT VLAN IP addresses assigned, as that is the untagged VLAN on eth0 of...

erlinden

The default rules are enough for protection. Because your picture is no showing (better post /ip/firewall export), it is hard to say what you did. And I'm not going to read some website.

erlinden

The only thing I see in your config that jumps out at me is the independent-learning value.

Thanks gotsprings !

Another difference I notice is that you have switch1-cpu added to all your /interface ethernet switch vlan

Bringing this topic back to live. I made all the adjustments to get rid of the VLAN ID = 1 necessity. All is working well, except for wireless and VLAN.

If a wired conneciton is fast, then it is not related to the routing part of the router. I also notice that the 2.4GHz radio is broadcasting on channels 1, 3 and 6.

Not only that, but the new capsman is not compatible with the older one. So if you have older devices and you buy a new one, you are SOL.

erlinden

Can you add both the logging and the config?

erlinden

You have to come up with your requirements first. If you are aiming for 99.99% uptime, there might be better solutions.
I can tell you it is working perfectly for me, and that might give you the impression it is perfect for you too. But again, only you can tell.

erlinden

So, "down a couple of times" during a period of years can be considered acceptable, right?

Is it acceptable to you? That is all that matters.

erlinden

Have been using it for years. Setup is very easy (checkbox), I noticed that the service has been down a couple of times.

erlinden

You would need to implement VLAN filtering on the bridge.
If you read this topic, you can find the AccessPoint.rsc which contains an example. In this example, all wifi interfaces are VLAN filtered, you just have to make the guest wifi interfaces so called "access ports".

erlinden

It depends, especially as these requirements are far from complete.

And where does the maximum number of accesspoints come from?
Why are you assigned with this task?
What is the budget?

Choosing hardware is the least difficult part of this job.

erlinden

Well, then start by describing the issue you need to resolve first.

The topic name might give an indication

But agreed, both problem description and the requirements are very welcome!

erlinden

Some feedback requires insights into the config:

erlinden

A topic which is really going to help you:
viewtopic.php?t=143620

erlinden

Giving this a go! Disabled it on 5Ghz interface and switched back from WPA2/3 to WPA/WPA2.

Why use WPA (when you can use open)?

erlinden

Better (best?) idea is using VLAN's. Please read this great topic to get loads of informations and examples:
viewtopic.php?t=143620

erlinden

Because the frequency isn't set, it could take up to 10 minutes until the 5GHz radio is broadcasting.
You can set the frequency to 5180 (channel 36) manually to avoid this situation.

Does the log give any info?
At what frequency is the radio broadcasting?

erlinden

How do I enable the capsman server on one of the AX2? I dont see a Capman option to enable it and set certificate options.

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... ionexample:

Yeah...or misconfigured. You make it a bit challenging coming up with a reason with the little info you provide.

As I mentioned in the article above, I really don't understand it very well, but maybe I can write the config details here as soon as possible and get ideas from you. Thank you.

Sure, no problem. It would be really great to have the config of the cAP ac as well, just to compare.

Standalone AP or using CAPsMan?

By using hybrid ports to the CAPs, one can leave them in defaults CAPS Mode. Only identity can be adjusted (if wanted).

Indeed, just replace the existing executable with the new one.

Winbox can be downloaded on the download page:
https://mikrotik.com/download

https://mt.lv/winbox64 (64 bit)
https://mt.lv/winbox (32 bit)

erlinden

One disadvantage of this config, @neki, is that you have to manually adjust the CAPs (as they expect to be able to reach the CAPsMAN untagged by default).
As far as I know, you can't enable bridge VLAN filtering on ax devices. Only on ac devices, using the wifi-qcom-ac driver, this is supported.

erlinden

From v7.13.x you get the "new" CAPsMAN (capable of managing ax devices) "for free". It is added in the menu under wifi. The documentation will give you some more insights: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-WiFiCAPsMAN The "old" CAPsMAN is part of the ...

Downgrade is nearly as easy as upgrading: you have to manually copy the (current) packages to the router en press the downgrade button.
As always, make a complete export (/export file=anynameyoulike) that can be restored any time.

erlinden

Bit of an assumption: connect everything to the MikroTik and you will be fine.
If not (possible), make a small network diagram including all clients.

erlinden

Here you can find the official documentation including an example:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... uardtunnel

erlinden

Then I found out you have to install QCOM package. So might try updating again.

The disadvantage of upgrading manually is that you could miss an additional package.
You can add it later any time, just add package.

When upgrading automatically, this won't happen.

erlinden

It isn't...at least, it shouldn't be.
Please test with iPerf to get better insights on the wireless speed. Using speedtest does include a lot of (possible) influencing factors.

To get best performance, please consider using the wifi-qcom-ac driver.

Why did you set bandwidth to 20MHz on the 5GHz radio? This will probably make a huge difference, when set to 80MHz (Ceee). No need to set VLAN ID 1 on the datapath. Instead of using "2412,2422,2432,2442,2462", you better use 2412,2437,2462 for non overlapping channels. When setting transmi...

If you want some feedback, just share the config:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

erlinden

Turn it off and see if you can open the /ip/firewall/connections tab. That should be a good indication.

erlinden

so it's unlikely that I misconfigured something. What could be the problem? What are some ways to troubleshoot this issue? By default WPA2 and WPA3 are enabled. That gave me a lot of problems.

if u want to get to the trouble, then use the new CapsMan

Can you eleborate this? I'm onto the beta in my home environment (I know, just a small network). Haven't had any strange CAPsMAN things, at least for me it is working not any less stable than the stable version.

erlinden

To use all frequencies, just buy another 10 (or something) Netboxes. Or understand how wifi is working.
Furthermore, why don't you want to set a country?

erlinden

Are there more clients suffering from this?

You could add wireless debug logging to get some additional information.
Besides, can you perhaps share your config:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

erlinden

Could it be that the imported certificate is expired or renewed?

erlinden

If you want to check "Verify DoH Certificate" (which you obviously do), you hwave to make sure the MikroTik has the Root CA installed.

Check this blog that explains the steps to get it to work:
https://www.shellhacks.com/mikrotik-dns ... loudflare/

erlinden

At least reset the accesspoint to CAPS Mode. Do you see any radios on /wifi/radios (that is on the CAPsMAN)?

Currently on smartphone, going through the config isn't easy.

erlinden

In a default situation the router won't block this (any) traffic outgoing.
Can you share your config (at least the /ip/firewall part)?

/ip/firewall export

or

/export file=anynameyoulike

Are you using LTE? Could be that the provider is blocking the traffic.

Looks like the DNS server is disabled. To turn it on:

Either get a new wAP ac or, if time wouldn't be of an issue, wait for a wAP ax.

erlinden

Assuming you are using the wifi-qcom-ac driver:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi

erlinden

Use wpa2-aes only for the time being. And only ccmp. And turn on debug logging on wifi to get some more insights.

erlinden

Wifi-qcom-ac is only supported on ARM devices.

erlinden

I use address list, create a list (i.e. WAN-IP) and add the address (blahblah.sn.mynetname.net).
Then you can refer to the address list (with its name).

erlinden

Does the switch have an IP address, gateway and access to the Internet?
Can you ping router/public DNS server?

erlinden

Are there any files that remained on the filesystem? You might need to delete them manually.
Or better...netinstall it with the latest v6 LTS (currently 6.49.13)

If you are worried with security, you might want to reconsider this:

/ip upnp

Something is wrong with the initial scan for 5 GHz. Every time at boot, the frequency is set to 5500 on all APs. This does not happen for 2.4 GHz where APs receive different frequencies.

can wifi capsman be run on a mipsbe device?

Sure (comes with 7.13 and up), but it won't be able to manage its own wireless interfaces.

Good that you have found the forum! More interesting information can be found on YouTube (though there is a lot of garbage on it as well). Make sure to follow MikorTik and have a lok at this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37aff6d14Xk

erlinden

I think in the end that is most important.

In regards to doing wrong...your firewall config has some space for improvement. Being polite on this.
In addition, are you sure you want to have port 22 available publically?
Who manages this router? This due to the fact it is running 7.6.

erlinden

The answer is either 42 or NAT.

Can you share your (relevant part of the) config in a working and non working situation?

Something like:

/interface/wifi export

erlinden

Well, as long as the bridge doesn't have VLAN filtering enabled, this won't work.
Have a look at this great topic for all your VLAN questions (and answers):

viewtopic.php?t=143620

Can you check wether both routeros and wifi-qcom packages are installed (/system/packages) on both cAP AX's?
If they are...can you share the export of both cAP AX's?

erlinden

In that case, please share your current config. Then we can do a quick check. Especially the firewall would be interesting.

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

erlinden

I think by resetting B to CAPS Mode your problem will be solved.

If you post the current B config, we can know for sure:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

erlinden

Can you share your current config?

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info.

erlinden

First download the file:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... loudbackup

Afterwards you can "load" the file:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Backup

erlinden

And less expensive (but more time consuming):

If that doesn't work, port your complete config without serial and any other priivate info and post it here:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Never mix country, in your case France and United States. Why did you specify two (instead of four) channels? Is there no interference? On a slave configuration you can't specify Country and Tx-Power, this is only set on the master radio/interface. @meiki, if you want to have fixed channels, there i...

erlinden

How do you do bandwidth test? When using the builtin test, it will consume cpu power (and hence loose performance). In that case, better to use a tool like iPerf.

In regards to the antenna gain...just use the antenna gain. This will make sure that you remain within regulations.

erlinden

Thanks @holvoetn, will try this later today.

Update: Yes, this is indeed solving the issue I had.

erlinden

It depends (as always...).

Does your ISP support this?
Does your ISP use AON or XGS-PON? Both are supported but the latter is more expensive.

I'm running into the "client was disconnected because could not assign vlan". Is this due to the fact I'm running hybrid (both wifi-qcom and wifi-qcom-ac? Didn't have this with an wifi-qcom-ac only environment. Yes, I'm using FT. Would setting ft-preserve-vlanid to yes make sense in this c...

Can you please share your config (hAP ax3):

/export file=anynameyoulike

Remove serial and any other private info and post in between code tags by using the </> button.

erlinden

This process should be automatic. Do you use a PPPoE connection, or is it standard DHCP?
Where is the RB connected to (and how)?
Are there any requirements from the ISP in regards to running your own router?
What ISP do you have?

Just to summarize: Fortigate offers VLAN ID 3 for public Wi-Fi. Any other VLAN ID (or untagged) for anything else? That is offered to the RB5009, right?

In my opinion, the error(s) lies in the CAP. For example, it lacks configuration.manager=capsman on the wifi devices of the CAP. Please add it. Or, better, reset to CAP mode.

erlinden

It is able with the new driver, have you added the Tx Power as column?

erlinden

I don't know, but the conditions are the same, ~15m. distance and one wall. cAPac works at both frequencies better, achieving double and triple the data transfer!

Then I can make you a great offer: I'll trade my cAP ac's for your cAP AX's.
Everyone happy!

erlinden

An export of the current attempt would be very helpfull:

/export file=anynameyoulike

Also add model number and version of RouterOS.

In addition to holvoetn great respons:

Specifically on the 2.4GHz radio, you want to use frequencies 2412, 2437 and 2462 and a channelwidth of 20MHz.
This will prefent interference as much as possible, but still be present.
