Hello, our transmitter is active in SXTSQ 5 AX AP mode. When configured in client mode, it connects as a station but doesn't provide internet access. I'm putting the client in bridge mode (there's a switch underneath), but users still can't access the internet. What could be the problem? I put the client in bridge mode again, but I still can't access the internet. However, when a single user connects without the switch, they can access the internet. I'm using an LDF 5 receiver.
By the way, when we connect to the Omnitic AC, it disconnects immediately. I think there's a problem on the client side of the AX connectors. In which mode should the client be connected?
Other users will surely chime in with their own opinions, tips, suggestions, nonsense, and so on,
but in a nutshell...
Do your research before purchasing:
The "bridge" feature is only available between MikroTik devices from the same "wireless" series,
and you can't mix anything.
If you use "ax" as AP, you must use "ax" as clients, or update "ac" compatible devices to use "wifi2" drivers.
I'm putting the client into bridge mode because I'm connecting a switch and giving it to 5 users, so the client needs to be in bridge mode. With the mode you mentioned, it established a connection, but it still didn't give me internet access. I'm connecting the LDF 5 GHz from AC, and there's no problem in bridge mode, but when I put the LDF 5 client in bridge mode as a client in SXTSQ AX AP mode, it doesn't give an output in station mode. Nothing I've tried has worked. Then I connected it to AC Omnitic, and the connection came through.
ok so You need to tunnel them with eoip through connection. WDS would also do the trick but it works with 3rd party 802.11n units(!) not with mikrotik…
im on the same problem as You. either swap units, or tunnel through
Remember what I wrote to you... I already warned you...
If you don't like things as they are and want to pretend nothing's true, well, that's another thing...
The SXTSQ 5 AX is Ax (wifi 6) and arm32 bit, so it uses wifi-qcom drivers.
The LDF5 is not even Ac (wifi 5) but wifi 4 and MIPSBE so it uses wireless drivers.
The Omnitik 5 Ac is Ac (wi-fi 5) so it can (should) use wifi-qcom-ac drivers
There is a mis-match of devices/drivers, station-bridge won't work.
Station pseudo-bridge should work, as it should work also with non-Mikrotik AP devices, though in some cases you need to disable RSTP on the bridge on the LDF5.
RSTp is disabled on all devices. I've been in this business for 10 years and this is the first time I've encountered such a problem. When a customer experienced a similar issue, I connected it to Omnitik to avoid prolonging the process. This seems to be a general problem. Will the issue be resolved with new software updates, or do I need to connect SXTSQ AC? Installing SXTSQ AX from mobile is very complicated; we don't use a laptop. I'm thinking of trying it with AC.
