Hi, just bought new hap axs and connect it as cap in my network. Capsman is ax2 and have hap ac2 and wap ac as caps. All working wired/wireless 500/100 as max of my connection. Only this new hap axs cant get wireless more than 100/100 wired without issue. Any suggestion?
Mesurements was done with same phone same distance no crosstalks no overlapping or any distortion. If i put on the same cable ac2 iwill get full speed.
Thanks for any ideas.
Did you verify that hAP ax S wired uplink port is actually running at 1Gbps? There is (small) probability that there's some slight incompatibility between cable's RJ45 connector and hAP ax S port which doesn't allow 1Gbps operation.
Given 100/100 performance via hAP AX S, I think the probability is not that small... but that's me.
Other thing to test is performance via wired PC connected to hAP AX S (verify interface speed for used ether port) and then wireless client connected to hAP AX S. Local iperf3 server on PC and then client on wireless side.
It will help you to assess if issue is only on hap AX S or in combo AX2 / hap AX S (incl cables / switches in between).
At what rate is the client connected to the hAP AX S? Any difference from the other CAPS's?
Wided connection on hap axs is full speed 500/100 as my isp maximum. Its only wireless issue.
Assuming you are replying to me...data rate of the wireless connection of the client. It can be found (in Winbox) on the Registration tab of Wifi. It will provide information about the radio the client is connected to, as well as Tx Rate and Rx Rate. These two is what I'm looking for.
This usually comes down to radio or CAPsMAN settings rather than the hardware itself.
Check that the ax CAP is actually using 802.11ax and not falling back to older modes.
Also confirm channel width, security settings, and that the country/regulatory domain matches the others.
If CAPsMAN is v2, make sure the datapath and wireless profiles are aligned for ax radios.
A mismatch there can easily cap wireless speed around 100 Mbps.
Rates look okay, at least you should be able to get well over 100Mbps.
And if this client is connected to a different 5GHz radio (like to the hAP AX2), it gets (near) full speed?
How do you exactly test?
As the signal strength is pretty high, can you try when being farther away from the CAP? If the signal strength is too high, it can work counter productive.
They got same cfg set. Choosing channel automaticly its not hard setted. I tried some hard set on hap axs so it would be axactly same as on ax2, where it works fine. But no change still best I can messure is 150/100 max, often its lot less.
Got one idea about packages. On caps man it is a wifi-qcom package. And on axs there is wifi-mediatek package. Can it couse some issue?
Measurements i done like from 1m to 5m. There was no change. Its same position as previous ac2 cap and it works no issues before
That's a question you should raise to support.
I doubt there will be a lot of users already having hAP AX S under capsman control.
The hAP AX S requires the wifi-mediatek driver, nothing wrong there.
As this device is really new...it might be of influence on the performance. What RouterOS and firmware are you running?
Can you please share all configs?

Yeah i tried put there qcom one but it seems like interface cant handle it. It disable wifi interfaces…
I was saying you should raise a ticket to support.
They are (for now) the only ones able to tell you what's happening.
I never said to change wifi driver. It has to be mediatek on the device for hAP AX S.
The question is however: what's needed on capsman controller side ? I would think base ROS7 package should be able to handle it. If they did their development correctly ...
For testing ... do you have a device without wifi like Hex / Hex Refresh / crs / rb5009/ ... ?
What if you use that as capsman controller ?
What if you then add mediatek driver to it ?
2 different scenarios to test.
Hey,
I tried that package changes before even try this forum.
Unfortunely i have not any hex device.
Maybe i shold try that support. Can u direct me where should I start that ticket?
