CAPsMAN with VLANs, "no connection to CAPsMAN"

OH FFS!!! I’ve wasted days on this too. Thank you. CAPsMANv2 with VLANs and WiFi 5 Wave 2 is a total and complete f***** nightmare.
And I’ve done a lot to try to understand and give back here : http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/at-t-ftth-vlans-capsman-full-config-routeros-7-updated/143095/1 . I’ll update my thread to RouterOS 17 if I can ever get it all working again, sigh.

Mikrotik: Please, oh please, update https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-CAPusing"wifi-qcom-ac"package and add a case for the following:

  • cAPac (WiFi 5 Wave 2) using wifi-qualcom-ac firmware
  • 3 VLANs going to 3 SSIDs
  • CAPsMANv2 running on another device
  • Everything going over a management VLAN

I don’t care how static or how dynamic it is, I just want to get back to where I was before my router died and I decided to move to the latest and greatest.
