I am trying to setup Capsman to support havin separate SSID for 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz.. Before I used the same SSID for both, but I want to be able to choose 5 GHz for increased speed… BUT, as I started to change - basically whatever I do fails… And Capsman is totally unstable.. As is, I will have to remove Capsman entirely as it does not work.. Does anyone have a simple enoug step-by-step instruction to set it up working..
Export your capsman config
Capsman Works Perfect, of the config is right
OK, here comes…

BTW - I used 6.39.1. Not working. For the sake of it I tried to upgrade to 6.40rc5 - but still not working.
Have now tried to setup Capsman on another RB from scratch - but it does not work. I can get eithe 2.4 or 5 Ghz to work, but never simultaneously with different SSID´s... Pasting the config below, possibly a bit messed-up as I have tried to fiddle around a bit...

OK. Still can not figure out why not working. I had it working with one single SSID for 4 AP´s. Now I try only with one WAP AC, using 2 SSID´s to separate the 5 GHz but it never works. I follow the basic steps:
- Activate Capsman
- Create a bridge
- Define configuration. Have tested several different variants but basically one configuration per SSID with minimum “band” defined. Have also tried to define in Channels separately.
- Define Provisioning. Have tried both with one Master and one Slave as well as 2 separate Provisioning rules.
- Set CAP in AP to point to CapsMan.
For the moment the 2,4 network states “no supported band” and can not be controlled nor is the SSID visible…
So, something fundamental must be missing taking into account I have fiddled around with most available settings…
Made a stupid mistake. On CAP is had not set “bridge”… Working now…
