Hi all hope it is going well.
I might sound stupid but I have been bumping my head really hard.
I have a rb3011 and 2x CAP AC’s
IP range 192.168.0.0/24
Router IP 192.168.0.1
CAP 1 192.168.0.2
CAP 2 192.168.0.3
The CAP AC’s are running via capsman
I want to queue each CAP to only have 10mbps down/up
I then created a simple queue.
The CAP AC device itself gets queued so if I do a bandwidth test to a different Mikrotik it queues to 10mbps, however the cellphones , laptops connected to it does net get queued UNLESS I ADD them MANUALY with their own IP.
Is this a routing issue?
Please I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Kind Regards
Johannes Smith
I am not 100% sure but I think it depends on how you implemented forwarding on capsman controller.
If local forwarding, every device will get on the network on its own since Cap AP does the forwarding. And that’s what you see.
If you would use capsman forwarding, everything from both caps is first send to capsman controller and only then distributed further.
Be aware: Using capsman forwarding also brings an extra load on both AP and capsman controller (since all traffic first need to be encrypted, send over, decrypted and only then the routing stuff can happen).
I think you may need the second option for what you want IF you want to stick to using capsman.
For two devices, you could also setup the APs individually and then you can set the outgoing queue per device.
PS personal opinion: 10Mbps per AP is not a lot. You could have been better/cheaper off then using cap or even cap Lite. Just my view.
