Hi all,
I’ve got two ac^3, both running 7.11.2 and upgraded with wifiwave2 same version: one runs very well, while the other runs only 2GHz. The 5GHz seems to correctly pass the csc phase, the Status page State is “running”, but no “running” neither on status line nor in the WiFi Wave2 summary (just MB flags activated instead of RSMB as it should do).
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Luca
Anything in logs?
No, even with wireless and debug to memory
Luca
This is all expected I think — now arguably Mikrotik made some poor UI choices.
The “flag” shown in winbox does not go to “R” (running) until someone is connected. Confusingly that status “tab” uses a different definition for running (meaning it has a frequency assigned).
The “S” (slave) flag not appears suggest the wifi interface is not a bridge port – I suspect this part is a config error (unless you meant for it to NOT be in a bridge).
Well, the 5G SSID doesn’t appear on devices. It seems not working at all, while 2.4GHz is okay.
Thanks
Luca
Please show config
I’ve deleted the wifiwave2 package and rebooted; re-configured both wifi with legacy set, and they work flawlessy.
Indeed the config was the same of another ac^3 here, that works with wifiwave2 without any issue.
I guess there should be some difference between the 5GHz wifi chips used.
Here the serials:
E7290E875797 non-working one
E7290EF9025A working one

Depending on the used frequency, the 5GHz can take even 10 minutes to show up, until the device scans for radars in your area.
Which is why I asked for config…
… and which is why I asked about logs (wireless driver scanning for radars does emit log messages).
Indeed in LOG and in Status page.
The WLAN driver then also has state= “detecting radar” , not “running AP”.
Increased CAC time in the band 5600-5650MHz from 60s to 10 minutes. Be aware of the C and e frequencies!
“Skip DFS channels= 10min CAC” if auto freq is used.
If one fiddles with “Country” , then client and AP could use different channel ranges.
Well, as I wrote earlier, no infos in log (wireless / debug), and the config was identical to the one of another ac^3, perfectly working.
It has been powered on almost 12 hrs without announcing the 5GHz SSID.
And once downgraded to legacy wireless, it works correctly.

Ac3 works with legacy wifi on 5GHz, so no HW problem.
Wifiwave2 works on ac3 ( personally I have at least 6 devices showing that).
So it most likely is something in the info which for one reason or the other you refuse to share.
Show your config of the failing device !
Or solve it on your own…
Your choice.
Ok, I apologize if someone did feel hurt; it wasn't my will.

This config works okay on one ac^3 and no 5GHz on another ac^3.
Both work okay with legacy wireless.

If you “auto” as the frequency on 5Ghz/wifi2 interface, instead of the profile, does it come up?
Also you may want to set the country to “Italy” for 5Ghz, since it looks like that’s only set on the 2Ghz.
No, auto did the same.
About country, tried even etsi or Italy or nothing: no 5GHz. Sometimes the channel selection message appears for 1 minute as it should do, but no 5GHz as well.
Anyway, it should be some hardware issue, or maybe the wifi chip has been changed across production batches and wifiwave2 doesn’t fit properly.

“add frequency=5180,5260,5500 name=ch-5g width=20/40/80mhz” and no country set will default to FCC region.
But should not be a problem if the regualted frequencies are correct in ROS. Check with “interface/wifiwave2/radio/print detail” ?
As in https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WifiWave2#radios
.
add bridge=bridge1 ingress-filtering=no interface=*1 trusted=yes
add bridge=bridge1 ingress-filtering=no interface=*2 trusted=yes
Hmmmm WLAN1 and WLAN2 connected (port) to the bridge, but not available anymore as wifiwave2 is loaded, and wifi1 or wifi2 are not port to the bridge
DHCP will not work then, clients will disconnect.
Highly doubtful.
5GHz radio works, you tested it.
Wifiwave2 package either fits or it doesn’t.
There is nothing in between.
Be accountable. You asked for help.
People said to help we need to see X and Y.
You didnt comply.
Yes it was your will to be non-compliant.
Be accountable.
Glad you finally “saw the light” as it was clear without cooperation you were going to lose assistance.
With that answer you’ll looking for a flame. I’ll not go ahead with that.
Simply you’re glad that I’ve “seen the light”, so you guess I’ve got a solution by posting the config.
So, no solution arised.
But with some difference to your aggressive behaviour, I accept to have somewhat failing device, I’ll not upgrade it to wifiwave2 and stop.
No solution? Okay, I accept and agree.
My scope is to solve, not to fight.
