Hi, iam new to this forum and just want to ask my first question.
I just upgraded all my devices (CHR on VM System, 6x CAP ac, 1x WAP ac, 1x new CAP ax xl) to 7.13. I hoped i can insert the cap ax xl by capsman provisioning like all the other ap’s, but seems not to work. How can i manage the cap ax xl by centralized management from chr-system and capsman? I have read that with 7,12 it was not possible due to cap ac has too less memory, but what is with 7.13 and the seperate kits? I did not read any declines?
Hi, i worked a little with the new version 7.13.1 and the cap ax xl, but did not really understand the new wifi setup.
What is the difference between CAP, CAPsMAN and CAPsMAN-Remote?
I thought CAP is the attached AP, right? CAPsMAN is the Management Program for the remote appached AP’s, right?
If setup the CAP ax xl as a remote AP i get on the WIFI Tab two devices (cap-wifi1, cap-wifi2) is that correct?
After doing the configuration setup i will see both interfaces with the message “no connection to CAPsMAN, managed locally”, is this correct?
Everything is working and i can connect to the WLAN Service
My config looks like this, do you see any mistakes or missing information?
I understand but it’s a tad smaller then cAP XL AC. I’ve already seen them side by side.
Not much but visible.
About the difference:
cAP AX is purely wave2 radio.
Cap XL AC is “old” wifi but since 7.13 it can also use wave2 drivers (same for cap AC but also wAP AC, if it is the ARM version).
So …
When your cAP is in capsman mode, it will show in Interfaces as “managed by capsman”.
From terminal, export config
export file=anynameyouwish
Move file to PC, edit for any remaining sensitive info and post back here between [__code] quotes for easier readability.
Do this for both cAP AX and CHR acting as capsman controller.
On the old CAPsMAN AP (CAP ac) i will see the Interfaces as “CAP Interface”, with the new CAP ax i see them as “WiFi”, but i tried to make the setup as i understood from the WIKI.
Where is my mistake, how should it be? Do you have some hints and tips for me?
The old CAP ac work since more than a year.
With the current setup i see the announcement of the new “TestLAN” which comes from the CAP ax.
The docu is really worth and need more examples and may be some block diagrams how it should interact like on the old configuration of RouterOS 6.
Naming convention has changed, yes.
If you have both legacy and wave2 wifi, it will be like that.
Can you connect to testlan ?
I’ll rephrase my question: what does not work which you expect that should ?
Those local interfaces on CHR: maybe some leftover from conversion script towards 7.13.
Make a binary backup to be sure, then delete those 2 interfaces. They are not needed there.
I may have to pull out my hex, a map and a spare ax2 to make a test setup so I can play… errrm, test with that combination of both capsman environments too

The counters does not see any movements, always on “0”
I’am not sure about the “CAP” setups on “WIFI” Tabon my CHR Router, should there any setup or just disabled?
And i am confused about the “no connection to CAPSMAN” of the Interfaces?

Which local Interfaces you mean, the cap-wifi?

Just checked on my CAPsMAN, don’t see any counter on both /interface and /interface/wifi.
Running 7.13.2 together with wifi-qcom-ac driver and cAP XL ac and wAP ac.
For one reason or the other I did not see notification on that post from Thu Jan 11, 2024 8:09 pm
Same observation here as erlinden.
No counters on capsman.
On local device they are being shown.
However, this does make sense with wave2 capsman and the absence of capsman forwarding. Traffic is not passing through capsman. So no counters.
I found another problem, after selecting “Remote CAP” and asking for provisioning my cap-wifi interfaces are disabled and do not have any configuration, i must maually set the configuration and have to reenable them? Any idea?
