AX3 not connecting to wifi network in station mode

[J45]

Hi All,

I’m wanting to connect my ax3 as a wifi client to an ubiquiti access point.
So far I’m stuck on getting it to even connect to the AP in either station or station-pseudobridge mode.

I’ve set the passphrase in the security tab of the wifi2 interface under “Wifi“, and used scan and then connect. However under status, it still shows as ‘Scanning‘. In my ubiquiti AP, the ax3 also does not appear under the list of wifi clients.

I’ve been searching for answers basically the whole day, so I’m hopeful someone here might know what I’m doing wrong.

If it matters, here’s my current config:

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1
/interface wifi security
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk disabled=no name=\
    "J-WLAN Security profile"
/interface wifi
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] configuration.mode=station .ssid=J-WLAN \
    security="J-WLAN Security profile"
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] configuration.mode=station .ssid=J-WLAN \
    disabled=no security="J-WLAN Security profile" security.eap-methods=tls
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether4
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether5
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wifi2
/ip address
add address=192.168.10.254 interface=bridge1 network=192.168.10.254

Both interfaces configured as station will give problems, choose one.
Next, instead of using "station", you should choose "station-pseudobridge". From the documentation:

• station - interface acts as a client device, scanning for access points advertising the configured SSID
• station-bridge - interface acts as a client device and enables support for a 4-address frame format, so that the interface can be used as a bridge port
• station-pseudobridge - the interface keeps track of outgoing IP connections and performs MAC address translation similarly to how IP masquerading works**

Make sure that authentication and security is correct (probably "wpa-psk,wpa2-psk" isn't correct).

In the snippet of configuration you posted, you have no passphrase set (maybe you edited it out? Or it the default "sensitive switch" that doesn't display it?)

Usually (but not necessarily) a profile is created in:
/interface wifi configuration

settings go there and you apply the named configuration to the interface(s).

The passphrase should show in
/interface wifi security

Check that you have it.

Anything in log? (when you try scan and then connect)

Try replicating this set of configuration:

The Quick Setup is indeed gone under ROS7, but it is really simple to do an extender yourself. You go to reset , select no config. And then do use a script like this: /interface bridge add name=bridge1 /interface wifi security add authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk disable-pmkid=yes disabled=no name=YOUR-SECURITY-PROFILE passphrase=MY-PASSWORD /interface wifi configuration add disabled=no name=MY-CONFIG-NAME security=YOUR-SECURITY-PROFILE ssid=YOUR-SSID /interface wifi set [ find default-n…

Try with just one wifi interface at first, either the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz one (BTW you only have wifi2 in bridge, if this is intended, fine).
