Hello, I also have problem with my hAP ax². All wireless devices work fine, but Samsung S21 Ultra stops to load pages. Disconnecting and connecting again solves the problem. Using latest BETA. Same with the stable one.
Guscht,
Would you accept that if you were a client?
It’s really strange to me how people just constantly apologize for Mikrotik’s wifi issues. Then they come up with every work around under the sun to keep the poor connection working.
Do other manufacturers cost more? Probably.
But the products I use are supposed to be a solution. Not a CAUSE OF ISSUES. We have a name for that at work: “Don’t bid.”
Would I absolutely love to use caps-man? Sure! The interface and reporting was awesome. But the reporting was also making it painfully obvious Mikrotik wireless was the problem.
Since switching back to our other Wifi manufactures… We are back to where we used to be. Design, install, configure, and forget.
We have Ruckus WAPs that are still holding on at 10 years of deployment. Think about that… The restaurant has relied on that WiFi for 10 years day in and day out. Who cares if it was $500 back then?
We have had only a handful of calls for that location. Not single one was about the wifi.
Now our caps-man installs… Are pretty much the opposite.
I have the same issue in two separate offices using the Hap Ax2 router. Some devices regularly disconnect for a few seconds. I never had this issue with my previous routers.
Get in an look at the logs.
I saw a bunch of arp DHCP conflicts. But I think those are specific to the wireless vendor.
Honestly, this is the worst piece of hardware I’ve ever had the misfortune of encountering. I’ve spent 20 years working in IT, and this device takes the cake for having the most convoluted control interface I’ve ever seen for a home or small business device.
I wish I’d read that before Christmas before I bought one. Latest updates, small home dev network. Been up for 4 days. Wondered why my laptop felt sluggish - connected at 2.4GHz. No devices connected at 5GHz. Restarted wireless interfaces and it came back.
Pretty much the same experience. 5G wifi becomes unusable every day or two, 2.4G is too noisy or unstable for some other reason.
Don’t know how many threads I have told you in…
Mikrotik routing, absolutely!
Mikrotik client serving wifi… PICK ANOTHER VENDOR!
I’m using hAP ax2 for 1 year+ now, currently running 7.13.3 ROS and routerboard firmware.
800Mbps upload/download for single client benchmarking. Works fine with multiple clients. I’m using FQ_Codel for interface queues to control bufferbloat.
Chances you have some improper bridge/vlan config (as much as I sound like a broken record, MikroTik needs to address this config confusion of bridge/vlans because most people just end up misconfiguring and blame the product).
Not everyone has the same experience when it comes to MikroTik WiFi. I have had Cisco, Ubiquiti and Grandstream and recently I returned to MikroTik. The family is happy, and thus so am I. Rockstable, using the wifi-qcom-ac driver. But again, that is just me…
When you work in IT networking sector for a living you typically don’t ever see home devices. Probably even not SOHO devices. So pretty easy to “win” this cake.

I didn’t write that 
Although I have come back from holiday and the 5GHz interface has disappeared again on my ax2.
I have the whole house running on that XE3-4. I turned the 6Ghz Radio back into a 5GHZ radio. But capacity in and around the house takes full advantage.
My wifi calls are better than when I was on Ruckus. Speedtests are lower... but connectivity appears better.
Is there a cheat sheet for home user wifi setup? One hint I just got is DHCP lease time. The default conf is 10 sec, which is not optimal for home use. Increased to 23h, which was the maximum in UI, and let’s see what happens. But there may be many other small things I can change, just don’t have an idea about.
According to /system/default-configuration/print the lease-time for defconf-dhcp-server is “10m”. You probably confused with “10s”.
Still too short.
At home I use
Personal network 1d
Iot and guest 4h
I am not aware of any downsides of having 10m lease time. But I am not a professional.
Yes, my bad, thanks for clarification.
Not really bad per se but each lease renewal will write something to flash.
And if it is not needed, why use short leases ?
If memory serves me well Apple devices had some issues with that.
Comparing Apples with pears…as we say in the Netherlands. It’s around 10 times more expensive than i.e. a cAP ax (which indeed doesn’t have 6E).
Indeed, phones seem to disconnect when screen is turned off. Early to tell, but increasing the lease time may have solved/mitigated this particular issue.
However, I still needed a restart to connect to 5G network this morning, and the last restart was yesterday morning. So, like 24h and I believe there should be a better option to manage the home network.
I have 5G and 2.4G in separate SSID's.
