hAP ax2 woes

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I’ve been having trouble with my hAP ax2 over the past few weeks. done a re-install of 7.12 via netinstall to see if that might help to no avail.
Problem is with the hAP ax2 wifi1 5G, every few minutes my laptop just disconnects then re-connects for no reason. This only happens on the hAP ax2 which is running capsman and 1 cap ax. when I connect My laptop to the cAP ax it stays connected for days on end with no drops at all. I’ve tried all sorts of settings power/channel/security atm I have it isollated away from the main SSID’s I use because it just causes choas with clients full stop.
Having a look through the supot.rif all I see is this, anything to worry about ?

== SECTION routerboard
       routerboard: yes
        board-name: hAP ax^2
             model: C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD
     serial-number: 
     firmware-type: ipq6000
  factory-firmware: 7.5
  current-firmware: 7.13beta2
  upgrade-firmware: 7.13beta2

BIOS
bad command name bios (line 1 column 21)
HEALTH
bad command name health (line 1 column 21)

At this point it’s either spend more money on an RB5009 and some other ax device to use as an AP or dump the lot, It’s driving me mad. just to add insult my warranty is up!

Did you maybe try to set default config an connect without using CAPsMAN ?

I’ll try it tomorrow, but for now I’ve just tried 40 wide and it’s not disconnecting how strange.

OMG

Nothing is wrong with using 40 MHz channel width. I’m using 40MHz on my 5GHz radios as all my wireless devices doesn’t access my NAS or any other service on LAN that requires high speed and my internet connection is 150/150 so 573Mbps is plenty for my use case.

8

No maybe not, but it should be able to do 80 the same as the cap ax can.
Anyway erm it started doing the same ole trick last night after a few hours so I’ll netinstall it again and try it on it’s own to see if it does the same.

It’s been connected fine all night at 80 on my cap…

Hello old friend!

11

Better keep calm and check your config, yet another time. AX2s are great little devices and i have a working capsman setup running wave2 with roaming and all the flowers. takes some configuration though.

12

FT enabled causes half my old stuff ie apple devices not to connect. Wrong password is what it says I believe, even worse it’s now enabled with the default config option via netinstall on the ax2 at least. So for starters I can’t use the function.
Glad yours is all working as expected!

13

Any chance you can share your output from this please
interface/wifi/monitor 0,1,2,3

14

Maybe @holvoetn can sharw config, if im not wrong he have ax2 as CAP.

15

Post your config please.
controller and cap.

Up til now we never saw it.

16

At home I have capsman setup with RB5009, 1 AX2 and 1 AX3.
I have a couple of AX2 standalone with a customer (running just nicely) and I also have capsman setup with RB5009, 11 cAP AX, 3 AX3 and 1 AX Lite.
Also running as smooth as butter.

17

Like I said something is wrong with the device it does the same thing with a standard config after net install on 7.13beta 2.

18

Supout and contact support, if you have warranty try to return it.
