I’m a new member on this forum.
Maybe someone can help me. I’ve a CAP configuration problem.
I’m unable to resolve this and now I hope someone can help me.
The CAP-network: Wired and with Wifi no connection to the router and networkcontrol says: “DNS-server don’t react”. With a Mikrotik WAP (another network) there is no problem. Only the CAP is problematic.
My Asus router seems okay because through my main network I go online with desktop (wired) and laptop (WiFi).
My installation:
Asus R-AX86S router: IP-address 192.168.1.1.
CAP AX: IP 192.168.88.1
Asus router gives the CAP AX a static-IP: 192.168.1.254

I hope someone is able to help me and I await your advice with interest.
A lot of thanks
If your cap needs to get an IP from Asus, no need for fixed address.
Remove that first address.
Normally route should not be needed either if you get address through DHCP (provided your Asus transfers that info).
And on that first wifi-itf, please correct frequency range.
Something is not correct there for a 5GHz radio (tip: it will not work in 2GHz range). Similar for 2GHz radio on wifi2.
Thank you for your quick response and for wanting to help me. I’ve been trying to find a solution for a week now and I don’t have much experience. So I have now remove that ip address? What I have to do more?
First remove that unneeded address and then we can see from there.
Remove static route as well if you see there is a dynamic one (D = dynamic = comes from DHCP server).
reaction: invalid value of Mac-address, Mac address required
invalid value for argument ipv6-address
while resolving ip-address: could not get answer from dns-server
I was already wondering … you’re not getting a DHCP lease.
Your DHCP client is still connected to bridge ?
Your device is effectively connected to the Asus modem (direct or indirect) ?
How is it being powered ? Using the supplied POE injector ?
DHCP client connected with Bridge-LAN
220V no PoE
I’ve a ethernetcable in my desktop and the CAP and use network Mik2 try every time to connect with internet
Will I place the CAP with an ethernetcable in the router and than network Mik2 activated?
