[solved] 2 VAP on hAP lite

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I’m new to RouterOS and I like it. I’ve a hAP lite with Router OS 6.37.3.
I’ve read (wiki) that one can set-up multiple Virtual AP on one Master Interface. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. I created two VAP. Both function as expected only as long as just one of them is enabled. As soon as both are enabled, client traffic is not routed anymore. My configs:

/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n country=germany disabled=no distance=indoors
frequency=2472 mode=ap-bridge ssid=“Main AP” wireless-protocol=802.11 wps-mode=disabled
add default-forwarding=no keepalive-frames=disabled mac-address=6E:3B::::01 master-interface=
wlan1 mode=ap-bridge multicast-buffering=disabled name=wlan-guests security-profile=guests ssid=
“guests” wds-cost-range=0 wds-default-cost=0 wps-mode=disabled
add disabled=no keepalive-frames=disabled mac-address=6E:3B::::00 master-interface=wlan1 mode=
ap-bridge multicast-buffering=disabled name=wlan-local security-profile=local ssid=
“local” wds-cost-range=0 wds-default-cost=0 wps-mode=disabled

/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=pool_local disabled=no interface=wlan-local name=dhcp_local
add address-pool=pool_guests disabled=no interface=wlan-guests name=dhcp_guests

/ip dhcp-server network
add address=192.168.86.0/24 dns-server=208.67.222.123 gateway=192.168.86.1 netmask=24
add address=192.168.87.0/24 dns-server=192.168.87.1 gateway=192.168.87.1 netmask=24

/ip address
add address=192.168.87.1/24 interface=wlan1 network=192.168.87.0
add address=192.168.86.1/24 interface=wlan-local network=192.168.86.0
add address=192.168.86.1/24 interface=wlan-guests network=192.168.86.0

CPU usage is below 5%, 8 MiB memory free.

Anyone has an idea why it does not work with two Virtual APs simultaneously?

Thanks!

As described in http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless#Virtual_interfaces it should be possible to create more than one Virtual AP.
I’ve tried different setups but I cannot get more than one Virtual AP to work.
Also, I could not find any restrictions for the hAP lite.
I appreciate any suggestions.

It’s your IP config, not virtual APs. You can’t have same 192.168.86.1/24 on two different interfaces.

Dear Sob,

Thank you very much! Although I’d also tried a different IP-range for the WLANs, I missed the “networks” setting. Thanks to your suggestions I fixed that and changed the IP-ranges.
Now it’s working as expected.
Again, thank you & best!
