This is absolutely perfect, but not for why one might think:
It is a perfect example of how that which passes for “simple” varies ‘a wee bit’ from person to person.
Among my social peers I am considered a total computer guru (I’ve been working with computer systems since the early 1980s; built, ran and sold a tech company; and every day work at (for personal, not professional goals) and use and learn as much tech as possible - and love it. And yet, on this forum I am barely a newbie.
That’s a long way to say, I’m impressed that you find this simple. I do not. Could I master it? Probably, with enough effort and time (far more than I suspect it took you, and far more than I have available).
Nonetheless, thank you for the explanation. This has been added to my bucket list.
Being someone who also had my fingers on a keyboard the first time in 1980 (VIC-20, oldtimers will surely remember it with its 3.5Kb of free RAM) when I was 12…
I never played games (ok, not much )
I’m an auto-didact and I am blessed to learn pretty fast. I learned myself to do so.
Same with Mikrotik and ROS, started in 2021, I completely learned it on my own largely based on info I found on this place and Help pages.
Still learning !
That thread I referred to has some pretty clear step-by-step instructions how it should be done.
So yes, I think it is simple. But I do realize it might not be so obvious for others (learned that too over the years).
English is not my native language (also started learning that when I was 12 out of necessity, there was no IT literature in Dutch, no internet, nada)
Therefor my apologies if that remark may have sounded as coming from an ivory tower
Setting up IPV6 I find a bit more daunting (but it’s on my list for next year to really dive into it).
I haven’t tried that version Ammo posted there. As indicated, semaja’s version works, I’m not touching it.
Follow the steps in the first post.
At the point the container image needs to be loaded, it gets pulled from internet.
When external storage is being referred, check what it is named on your device (for me it was usb1/usb1-part1
When setting up the container package/environment, don’t forget to specify the Registry URL or nothing can be pulled.
( https://registry-1.docker.io )
So you have to follow the instructions but also look out how it should be applied to your situation at each step.
Maybe you want another port then ether5 ? Then do so.
We’re humans. We should be able to think close-but-not-exactly-the same
For eg. I put my wAP axes in corners of the rooms I want to cover with wifi. Back of the APs are facing towards yard. That way in every room I have great wireless coverage. Hallway and bathrooms are also covered with great 2.4G signal. There is 5GHz signal but usually devices switches to 2.4GHz pretty fast.
Security cameras and doorbell connects to 2.4GHz radio without a problem.
That’s massive but it should give more! Seems indeed 1G Ethernet port limit.
in case you have nothing lese to do Could you test with two Wifi clients connected to iperf3 servers connected to the two different ethernet ports of the wap ax?
If no one knows (or if it’s top-secret), that’s fine, but what I meant by my (poorly phrased) question was which one has the best wireless tech – i.e., best design and performing receiver and transmitter.
I erroneously used “fastest” but that’s not exaclty what I meant.
In my case I have same or even better wireless with wAP ax when comparing it with cAP ax. OTOH cAP ax wasn’t mounted on the ceiling but instead it was behind th TV or on the desk so not the ideal position.
