I have 3 Mikrotik hAPACs, scattered about the house as access points.
If I move from one end of the house to the other end, since my phone can still see the original access point, it doesn’t change, even though the nearby access point has better signal.
Is there a way to get the Mikrotiks set up to assist in the phone changing from one AP to the other? Reading through CapsMan that doesn’t sound like what it’s for, nor mesh.
All the access points are hard wired, and on the same vlan.
The best you can hope for is turning power down or gain, but not sure if one can do this on the hapac.
In reality its the user device which chooses…
/caps-man access-list
add action=accept signal-range=-87..120
add action=reject
If the receive signal gets below -88… access point kicks client device off.
Good luck with unintended consequences, I tried playing with those settings and the person would come back in range and the switch back would not occur…
Its very tricky.
As much as I bitch about mikrotik wireless…
Those 2 rules, combined with channel PLANNING make the systems usable. Well until I have nearby radios pissing off the caps.
I’m running 6.49.6
and the above commands aren’t there?
[Firewall] /caps-man configuration> /caps-man configuration
[Firewall] /caps-man configuration> add action=accept signal-range=-87..120
expected end of command (line 1 column 5)
[Firewall] /caps-man configuration> add action=reject
expected end of command (line 1 column 5)
“action” isn’t a command?
Ah
/caps-man access-list
add action=accept signal-range=-70..120
add action=reject
