HAP ax3 configuration

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello, just got my hand on a brand new hap ax3. As i’m new to it and have not really configured much on mikrotik devices can someone please post a good working configuration example for the ax3 so i can get started from some point?

I was use to hap ac and ROS6 but a lot has changed on ROS7 and wifiwave2.

When I started with v7 and wifiwave2 (using Audience which is ac device) I reset unit to defaults (had to as wifiwave2 is optional on audience), only added basic wireless config (SSID and PSK). And performance was already pretty decent. I’ve played a bit since, but I can’t really say tgat it affected performance in my typical use case.

So my advice: go with defaults and do minor tweaks later if needed.

Thanks, found this for wifiwave2

Problem is i can’t get 160 mhz to work it just shows me “no channels available”

Have you set country code?

Yup, Estonia.

Ok, can you share your current config (/wireless export)? Make sure to remove the personal info if any. If you place it between code tags it will be most readable.

The only working setup i got working was this.

    configuration.mode=ap security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk

It does not matter what channels you set if any. When you select 20/40/80/160 it immediately says no channels available.

By looking at the radios tab i can see that there is no 160 radio listed. Just a wild guess here, but should there be?
