Everytime my Thinkpad T480 connects to hAP AC the unit drops wireless for some 15-30 seconds  [SOLVED]

Sun Aug 26, 2018 8:08 am

Recently bought a hAP AC and have it setup as a bridge/repeater of my 4G LTE hotspot (Unite Pro/781S) via 5GHz.

Basically I went from default configuration to switching wireless to station mode, then I made a virtual station of the 5GHz band on the hAP AC, then I went to quickset and chose CPE, connected to the Unite Pro, has mode set to router, etc.

Image

All my devices on ethernet and wireless work fine, but as soon as my Thinkpad T480 connects, it kills the hAP AC for 15-30 seconds.

I have no clue why that is.

I'm a beginner to mikrotik, mainly a Ubiquiti guy, so please hold my hand. Willing to donate $5-$10 to whoever solves this (if that is violation of any rules please let me know and I'll remove that statement).

No other devices of mine cause issues with the hAP AC except my T480, running Windows 10 Pro. Seems to have the Intel 8265 Wireless Nic, and if I connect the T480 via ethernet it doesn't cause issues oddly enough.

Hi,

As i understand you want to use your hAP AC as a repeater for your unite pro, so the setup is very simple, you just need to go to the interface/wireless/repeater on your mikrotik device and just specify the mac address,SSID and secret key of your unite pro device. The important thing is you must set wireless mode on ap-bridge (ptmp mode) and set the band,frequency and channel width like your unite pro.
Important note: at first try to reset the mikrotik configuration with no default check.(Because you have more configuration on bridge,firewall...)
Best Regards,

Thank you for the reply, I actually updated the hAP AC, it was very outdated (guess the amazon seller sold me older inventory?).

After upgrading/updating, the unit hasn't had any issues with my thinkpad these last two hours :).

I'll do what you suggested though.
