There is only Home AP Dual on Quickset.
Why is that, can I revert to the list of everything?
I have seven cAPGi-5HaxD2HaxD - cAP ax.
If you have seven accesspoints you might want to consider CAPsMAN. Assusming you are going to use these at one site.
And at these numbers you shouldn’t be using Quickset at all, but that is my opinion.
indeed, but this is also not working, The story was there is wave3 on AC but not on the router so CAP can not work, have not verified
Anyway how is it that I have only Home AP Dual?
CAPsMAN (Wifiwave2) is an additional package and can be added to the router manually. I would, assuming the router is Mikrotik as well, go that way.
With all due respect…Quickset has another purpose and doesn’t fit (in my opinion) to your use case.
Right it is mikrotik, but out of pure curiosity why there is only Home AP Dual?
I’m guessing you’re looking to use the cAPax as a “station”, and want the QuickSet UI to connect? e.g. “WISP CPE”? Otherwise, what QuickSet profile were you trying to find?
AX supports being a Wi-Fi station, so it’s curious there is NOT a profile that allows selection of the AP to use. Now the “Home AP Dual” does have all the QuickSet thingies on one screen to use as a “all-in-one” router, so that be the default makes sense.
Now, if your trying to use CAPsMAN, that’s activated by a long button press, not QuickSet.
I think Wifiwave2 devices are limitted from Quickset (think I red something about it) and perhaps (that’s my assumption) this devices purpose is Home AP Dual (or CAPs).
Yeah, I don’t have any cAPax, but it’s true the “home” units (hAPax2/3) have only the “home ap dual”.
Just cAPax isn’t a necessarily a home AP. And QuickSet should be independent of the Wi-Fi drivers, and the AX drivers to do support the Wi-Fi stuff in the other QuickSet profiles.
But no doubt it take adaptation on Mikrotik’s part & they choose/forgot to do that. But older cAPac do support the full range of QuickSet options, so IMO a bug.
The quikset menu shows the modes in which this device can be used.
Since WifiWave2 CAPsMAN is not supported by older devices, so that users are not confused, there is no CAP item.
PS If you want to use old and new devices you will have to use two CAPsMANs
cAP ax is far away from being a regular home AP IMO.
Even if there is no CAP on the quickset why there is no WISP AP?
QuickSet is just a wizard for beginners. Things you expect in WISP AP mode are found in the Wireless section on the left hand side menu.
Perhaps by design. But folk like me abuse QuickSet by designing a default config around how it work. We use a lot of hAPac2 (and some hAPax2 now too) for lots of non-home cases – and I don’t want people in field to have to know much so QuickSet is useful.
For me, QuickSet has some UI controls in webfig that exist nowhere else – and turn some multi-step operations into changing something in one place for someone in field who knows little about Mikrotik. For example, in some of the QuickSet profiles, there is stuff like:
Basically the hAPac2 had these modes, and in “upgrading” hardware, I lose functionality – that isn’t good. Do experts necessarily want to go through (or explain to someone else) a half dozen error-prone steps to change a hAPax2 from a router to switch?
