Just unpacked my first Mikrotik product, the cAP ax. I then successfully connected to it via WinBox as well as the Web interface but was soon overwhelmed and thought I would just use the Mikrotik Pro app to quickly set it up as an access point so I can get started. The Android app was self explanatory and I only set a name for the 2.4Ghz interface since I don’t really need the 5Ghz. Then I saved the config and the app told me everything should work in a few minutes.
Ever since then I cannot connect to the cAP anymore. Neither WinBox nor the app seem to discover the device. The wifi network I set up via the app does not show up as well. I still see it connected via ethernet to my router, it still gets an IP address through DHCP and I can ping it. However, when I try to connect to the IP address both WinBox as well as the web interface time out and the app tells me “Connection refused” (yes, the password is definitely correct).
I multiple times tried to reset the cAP by short or long pressing the reset button on the back but nothing happens (is there anything special I need to do there?). I disconnected it from power multiple times but nothing changes.
How can I save the AP?
