I have 2 hAP ax S routers configured as access points and connected to my CCR 2004 Router. They have identical configurations. From one device I can reach the internet, ping google etc. From the other I cannot do either. I can access both from the IP addresses I've set. One AP is set up for CVAPsMan provisioning, the other is not. Help appreciated. The configs are below:
The configuration are not identical, and the non working device Is on a different time zone (and Is not ntp synced).
But the differences do not seem to justify the failed connection.
Could It be something specific to the .240 address?
Post also the configuration of the CCR2004.
What I would try first thing Is to exchange first the two ethernet ports on the CCR2004 and then the two devices, so that cables and ports can be excluded.
On the non-working device you have not any wifi interface, but you have the same settings of "all" added to bridge1.
I would try adding to the bridge only a couple ether ports, let's say ether1 and ether2, and see if It changes anything.
The "non working" device has no wifi configuration at all ... neither is it set to connect CAPsMAN nor is it set up with local WiFi settings.
Also the non-working device is running older ROS version ... and in context of hAP ax S that might be a major difference (since device is pretty new, there are many changes between two ROS versions which directly affect how these devices work). So by all means, get the non-working device to the same ROS version and same (or very similar) configuration as the working one.
Just do not get tempted to make the configuration identical by saving a backup on one of them and restoring it on the other, as doing so would clone all MAC addresses from the “template” device to the “copy” one and would require a subsequent cleanup. Use export and import instead, but that way also requires some additional (or rather preparational) steps, see other topics here for details.
Thanks to all for your suggestions. To remove all variables, I reset two identical hAP ax S devices with the same ROS version. I configured each individually with the basic AP config. Both are connected to the sites CCR2004 Router. The two configuration files are attached. As before, one can ping 8.8.8.8, and outside sites. The other cannot ping these, not even ping the main router. The 'non working' router works at my home with my RB5009 router, but not at the site with the CCR2004. I've also attached the CCR2004 config file. Again, all help appreciated.
I started a new topic for this same issue, with the files attached rather than verbose text in the body of the topic. Please see that new topic.

I started with 'no configuration' and set each unit identically. The config files are attached, along with the config of the main CR2004 router. All help appreciated. The configs are below.
One other note, since I couldn't upgrade ROS from within the router (System/packages/check for updates), I found the correct ROS version 7.21.2 ARM, and dragged the file to the file area of the router. After rebooting, the NPK package was gone for the file area, but ROS was NOT updated. Maybe this is a clue??
The only difference I can see is the timezone setting ? It also shows in your config export. Date is quite different.
When manually updating, you need to make sure ALL packages are present before rebooting.
In this case you also need wifi-mediatek together with base ROS package.
It's worth noting that for the 'non working' router, I can take it home and set it up similarly with my RB5009 router, and it works fine. I can provision the WIFi radios with CAPsMan and all works properly.
The strange thing is, I have 6 of the hAP ax S setup up as access points. I provision them with CAPsMan. 4 work well with the simple configuration i posted at the top of this thread. 2 do not. I can ping the main router by its MAC address, but not by the assigned IP address.
In my testing I have been having issues on the HAP AX S where it functions fine in a router setup, but as soon as I configure it as an AP (Standalone or CAP) then certain wireless clients can’t pass traffic.
Don’t know if the same issue is causing your inconsistencies.
That ARP entry was listed as 'permanent'. I honestly don't know where that came from, and the MAC address was incorrect. I deleted that entry, and it all worked properly. Thank you for taking the time to help. Much appreciated!
