To begin with, since the mode used is “CapsMan forwarding”, under wireless - > cap you must not set a bridge interface… The wlan interface will be dynamically added to your Capsman’s Bridge… You have already configured that by selecting the Bridge in your Datapath…
So on your CAP let Bridge to “none”
Remove from The cap the Wlan interfaces from your Bridge. As i indicated above, the wlan interfaces provisioned by capsman will be added to it’s Bridge… you don’t have to do anything
Set an IP address to your CAP…
Thanks for your feedback,
Here is my error, I did not select the “Local Forwarding” and “Client to Client Forwarding”
Now I have this new problem.
I currently have 2 CAPs,
I think in the end, to have 4 in all the house, especially to cover properly in 5Ghz.
But I would like the CAPs to use the frequencies that I have listed, like a “Channel list”
As soon as I select a channel, the 2 CAPs will take the same frequencies …

Here are the frequencies that the CAPs use, I think they are selected automatically. and the distribution of my devices works well ..
But not with my frequencies.
Thanks for your help.
CAP will auto-select frequency to use from the list of frequencies in frequency= clause.
Then you use the lists in
/caps-man configuration
add channel=channels24-lower name=net-2.4G-lower <the rest of settings, e.g. SSID>
add channel=channels24-upper name=net-2.4G-upper <the rest of settings, e.g. SSID>
/caps-man provisioning
add action=create-dynamic-enabled master-configuration=net-2.4G-lower radio-mac=E6:8D:8C:49:EE:4A <optional slave-configurations=>
add action=create-dynamic-enabled master-configuration=net-2.4G-upper
So you have to create different configurations that you can assign to different CAPs (in provisioning …mind that order of lines in provisioning matters, the default one has to be the last).
For sure you can simplify setup to use single frequency list for all CAPs … I can envision case when CAPsMAN device restarts and all CAPs get provisioned at the same time. As they all check the spectrum for free frequencies at the same time (while none of them ate transmitting yet) they all might decide to use the same channel.
The comma was created because it is an export…
Just click the down arrow on your right, a new text box will appear, there you can type your second frequency
Also, it would be best to make use of the reselect interval and save selected values… Otherwise after the initial scan no other scan will be performed again… Unless capsman is rebooted etc…
On the frequency text box, on your right, there is an up/down arrow… press the down arrow and a new text box will appear… There you should put the Frequency 2462 and not on the Secondary Frequency Tab
