The cAP ac is both with wireless and with wifi-qcom-ac ridicoulisly stable. Though I do prefer the wifi-qcom-ac driver. Has been running for years and years without problems. But it requires some good configuring and tiny tweaking.
Are you serious?
With the old drivers I have written dozens of posts on all the issues in noisy environments.
I have full on confirmation from Mikrotik that driver was the problem.
Granted I don't test them much anymore after MIKROTIK CONFIRMED that their radios were the issue, and it had NOTHING to do with configuration.
Haha, never too old for a story that probably documents one’s own fault to not install the right wifi package lol.
Do you even know what you’re talking about? You’re an AX3 owner, right? WiFi CAPsMAN is no different from normal WiFi configuration. It just needs one or two provisioning rules, activate CAPsMAN. Done.
Downloading the drivers to it now.
PPSK is not supported till 7.17… uggg.
You prefer ICQ ?
Remember I read export files for fun, it may be trivial to enter in wifi settings, but capsman NOT so much.
Try to look at a config SMEARED with capsman lines, its like someone BARFED capsman on a lean config.
A config with capsman or pure wifi is basically only 1 line difference.
Enabling of capsman controller on the controller.
Setting controller to capsman or capsman-or-local on the AP radio.
The rest is more or less the same (apart from possibly provisioning on capsman controller, there you have a difference).
Really.
With old capsman the difference with wireless was A LOT more substantial.
With wave2 not so much.
BBS?

Jabber I preferred back then.
Okay, I loaded new drivers into the capac.
After a time, or a few times anyway, I finally got the hang of it.
I will say again, tis the worst wifi configuration process anyone has to experience, they must enjoy torture as a recreational activity in Latvia ![]()
Not even sure if I have it right but it works, its snappy, no complaints.
Now, was this so hard to admit ? ![]()
Now hang on @holvoetn… He gave compliment to the wifi, but true success will be when he start using capsman ![]()
The only reason for capsman is for roaming between devices, the other APs are tp links not to worry…not going down capsman sinkhole anytime soon
I also despise the armada controller, all done on the device!!
FCC website has radiation patterns and test results here:

Here’s a screenshot from one of the pages:

So wAP AX seems to be directional.
Correct antenna gains seem to be around ~7dBi in the frontal direction.
Thanks for the image.
Around 7 dBi for 2.4GHz band and around 5 dBi for 5GHz band.
There’s definition about “directionality”: antenna beam width is angle where antenna gain drops by 3dB below maximum gain. So from the diagram one could deduct that for 2.4GHz band beam width is around 90° (center ± 45°) and for 5GHz band it’s around 80° (center ± 40° … and center is shifted from right towards left as frequency increases … yuck).
I have caps-man running with 2 capAC as of this morning. No VLANS or anything interesting yet.
Have made several calls without people bitching.
Today I finally decided to make network overhaul. I removed 2 cAP ax and one ax2 and I replaced them with wAP ax.
First impressions, I must say Im pretty happy with them. I put them in every room in the corner so whole room is covered and back of the AP is facing outside. I didn’t test signal outside of the house but in my case i really dont care about wifi outside.
PPSK is working like a charm (there is still a bug when changing to another passphrase first time you get message that device is unable to connect but then second try works without a problem) and roaming works great.
Also wife ordered some kind of stickers for them to make them pretty

Since I would like to do the same thing, I accept suggestions for “wife approved” stickers ![]()
I just said anything but some kind of metallic sticker
Now who knows what will arrive from Temu…
Definitely post some photos after WAFization of wAP ax … Ws tend to have similar views on such matters. ![]()
