In other words, ap should continuously perform spectral scan, save the results and keep the scored list of available channels. And this should be done in the breaks in transmission in order not to affect normal traffic. Well… I would like to see it implemented.
Doesn’t matter if you are indoor or outdoor. If you want to use 80mhz channels in ac, you have to use dfs or only have 2 non overlapping channels.
I have this issue with both CAPsMANv1 and CAPsMANv2. Both APs are fairly close to on another and pick up the same channel, even when starting the second later on.
cap1 is the wlan in RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN, which also is the CAPsMAN
cap2 is a mAP 2n
Hi, Im having the same issue on 6.33.5. A RB1100Hx2 with 2 near RB411 are in the same Frequency (the space in frequency of CAP configuration is blank).
In another place I have a RB433 CAPsMAN with 6.32.2 and is working well with 2 AP (not near but are in different frequencies)
Did someone find a clue about that?
Thanks.
I have noted the same issue with 2.4GHz radio using CAPsMAN on a 6.38.5 RB3011 controlling a pair of wAP-AC
Using “auto” channel, (or better not defining any channel on manager) at every AP reboot or radio interface restart, 2.4GHz radios place ALWAYS at 2412 , while 5GHz radios frequency change time to time
Is there any reason for this ??
I got the same problem on 6.39rc55. I got five WAP ac in a hotel which coexist with some TPlink routers. It always chooses 2412, 2422, 2427 ferequencies that are crowded. I needed to switch to manual channel selection…
mIRO
Now, I have setup 6 of them controlled by manager with no frequency/channel set
Radio 1 (2.4Ghz) are all six to 2442/20-Ce/gn
Radio 2 (5GHz) all different frequencies
Please can we have any clarification from MikroTik staff ??
Just to know if it is correct , it is a bug, etc. any sort of answer to know how to behave with 2.4GHz config
Thank you !
Last month I officially reported issues with capsman and 2.4 while 5g was working fine. They didn’t seemed surprised, so I believe they are aware of it.
I wish they would resolve it soon, because I have a client with a high density AP configuration of 25 access points that I would love to put under control of capsman.

How can I set the range of channels used for auto channel? For the Czech Republic, you have a right:
interface wireless info country-info "czech republic"
ranges: 5725-5875/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(14dBm)
2402-2482/b,g,gn20,gn40(20dBm)
2417-2457/g-turbo(20dBm)
5170-5250/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(23dBm)/passive
5250-5330/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(20dBm)/dfs,passive
5490-5710/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(27dBm)/dfs,passive
5190-5310/a-turbo(20dBm)/dfs
5180-5300/a-turbo(20dBm)/dfs
5520-5680/a-turbo(27dBm)/dfs,passive
5510-5670/a-turbo(27dBm)/dfs,passive
902-927/b,g,g-turbo,gn20,gn40(30dBm)
but indoor channel is only:
5170-5250/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(23dBm)/passive
5250-5330/a,an20,an40,ac20,ac40,ac80,ac160(20dBm)/dfs,passive
How can I set only a range of 5170-5330 for auto?
Hi,
academically speaking, until this feature is implemented/perfected, is it possible to have capsman enabled with several caps and manually define the channel used on each one?
This way we could manually avoid some problems, at least when the spectrum circumstances are stable.
Yes, just have to manually assign each one.

As far as I can tell, there no way to select different channels on capsman. How this could be possible?
Why not?Create as many channels you want and assign them to different aps.
in v6.39 it will be possible.
Make a new CAPsMAN Channel entry with all those frequencies and specify that channel for the CAPs - it will automatically select one of those frequencies.
wanna give us an example of how XXXX works because i gave it several tries and still have no clue how it works
Well,
although this is something good, it is still not possible to manually determine exact channel for capsman. Is this feature in your plans?
By the way, using uldis’ advice, if one needs to have selection for both bands, here is a mixed list, just as an example:
/caps-man configuration
add channel.control-channel-width=20mhz channel.extension-channel=disabled channel.frequency=2412,2437,2452,2457,2472,5240,5680,5805 country=greece datapath=\
datapath1 mode=ap name=cfg1 ssid="SunnyIslandNet"
/caps-man configuration
add channel.control-channel-width=20mhz channel.extension-channel=disabled channel.frequency=2412,2437,2452,2457,2472,5240,5680,5805 country=greece datapath=
datapath1 mode=ap name=cfg1 ssid=“SunnyIslandNet”

Interesting, currently I use two CAPSMAN configuration, 1 for 2.4Ghz and 1 for 5Ghz. There shouldn't be any functional difference?No, not at all. By not defining the band, each cAP selects from the existing list the best possible choice.
Lately, I use this channel list. Of course, I also choose it in capsman configuration, to make it in use. Change it accordingly to your country settings.
/caps-man channel
add control-channel-width=20mhz extension-channel=disabled frequency=2412,2417,2422,2427,2432,2437,2442,2447,2452,2457,2462,2467,2472,5180,5200,5220,5240,5260,5280,5300,5320,5500,5520,5540,5560,5580,5600,5620,5640,5660,5680 name=capsman-channel-list-2GHz-5GHz
“Automatically select” base on what? Any kind of scan? Is this process inteligent? I mean- does MT check what channels are used on nearest APs an choose the best chanel like in other enterprise WiFI systems?
Did anyone try to set CAPsMAN → Channels → Reselect Interveral ? This worked for me and the CAPs automatically reselected the frequency.
