CAP wont autoprovision the 2GHz Wlan for some reason

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi

I have a Mikrotik RB2011 router running CAPsMan and connected to a rb912G-2HPnD as the CAP. (both on RouterOS 6.33.5 and Capsman vrs 2)

I have them communicating and provisioning ok until I try to seperate the 5GHZ from the 2GHZ for seperate SSID access points via the CapsMan config and provisioning tabs.

then it will work fine for the 5GHZ, but will not auto-provision the 2GHZ, though I can manually change this in the Interface tab of the CapsMan for the 2GHz cap, and then it works fine.

Any ideas why the 2GHz Wlan is playing up and not auto-provisioning when in seperate configuration would be appreciated.

I have attached screen shot of the CAP wireless config, and of the CAPsMAN interface config.
and below is the (cut down for clarity) router config, followed by the full CAP config

Hi
Try to change provisioning to:

/caps-man provisioning
add action=create-enabled hw-supported-modes=gn
add action=create-enabled hw-supported-modes=an

3

thanks I will try it, but if I want the 5GHz wlan to only provision 802.11ac and no other mode.
while 2GHz wlan provides anything else
will the above still apply?

4

Just change second line from an to ac

5

just to offer some observations on this change.
it worked so thanks, and now both 2Ghz and 5GHz are auto-provisioning.

but …

even though the provision tab has only ac set in the hardware supported mode for the 5Ghz, having ‘5GHZ a/n/ac’ set in the configuration tab at the same time actually allows devices to connect using 802.11n despite it not being set in the provision tab.

this is fine for me, as after testing the same device using 802.11n on the 2GHz, it was showing half the speed throughput of using it on the 5GHz channel so I have changed the planning and will allow n and ac through the 5Ghz.

thanks again for your help
