Hi,

i try to register old 802.11 Clients:

on a new arm MantBox 5Hax.

But no client will register. Is it possible?

set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] arp-timeout=auto channel.band=5ghz-n .frequency=5500 .width=20/40mhz-Ce configuration.country=Germany .mode=ap .ssid=ssid disabled=no l2mtu=1560 mac-address=F4:1E:57:2C:20:D0 name=wifi2 radio-mac=F4:1E:57:2C:20:D0 security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk .encryption=ccmp,ccmp-256 .group-encryption=ccmp

will not work, no client will register

Most likely because Mikrotik AX devices do not support NV2.
NV2 is a proprietary protocol from Mikrotik. With AX range they decided to use vendor supplied drivers.

So your clients should not use NV2 if they want to connect to that AX radio.

On another topic I wrote:

Simply put:
The AX model in no way replaces the performance or functionality of the AC models you already have on service.
You lose a lot of useful features, replacing everything with standard 802.11,
which these days doesn't work as well as expected from other competitors because it doesn't use TDMA at all, etc.

Obviously I'm talking outside, and in "CPE mode"...

By the way, how the hell do you write that post? It's so hard to read... And uselessly verbose...

wireless and wifi are not interoperable on any mode.
Read docs.

mode=station-bridge

oh. ok. thats it. and thats the only one. CPEs make 802.11, nstreme and nv2 (all protocols). Thank you.

no way to register “old” ROS 6 “wireless” CPEs on an new MANTBOX5ax with mode=station-bridge on CPEs?

Is there no posibility to bring “old” 802.11 to this AP?

bad…

You can try with station-pseudobridge, see:

Bridge protocol on the station should be set to "none".

Or check this, maybe you can try station and use a tunnel:

Yes, this involves that for work now I'm forced to use products from other vendors that support TDMA with 4096QAM.
