VirtualAP only for selected devices.

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hey, At the beginning I have to say that I am newbie.
I’m trying to make VAP with WPA secure that allow to connect only selected devices by me earlier. Currently I’ve made VAP working, I mean every device is able to connect. Now I have to make that it will pass only selected devices but I can’t figure it how to do this, so that’s the moment I need little help. :blush: How to do this?

I’m not exactly certain what you are looking for, but have you looked at “/interface wireless access-list”? You can set “default-authentication=no” on the wireless interface and use the access list to allow only certain devices to connect.

Or set “default-authentication=yes” and some WPA passphrase to certain VAP.

Oh, i think i got it, i didn’t know it is that easy. :slight_smile: Thanks

Now you must decide whether it is specific users or specific devices you want to allow.
If you want to allow specific users connecting with any device, log’s suggestion is best.
If you want to allow only specific devices, then mine is best.

Yup, I used your method.
btw. i noticed one thing. When I connect with allowed device to AP (wpa2 secured) I can see it in QuickSet connected devices tab (signal strength, uptime etc), but when i connect with same device to VAP (wpa secured) it’s not showed here. Weird… Can I fix it somehow?

I don’t know about QuickSet. I use the CLI. I will check if I get a chance today.
