Can't set slave wireless interfaces on wAP AC (works ok on cAP AC)

Tue Apr 27, 2021 11:05 am

Few words of HW setup - hAP AC^2 as mother device running CAPsMAN. Two cAP AC's running in CAP mode, all works perfectly.
Few words of configuration - master radios are used for home 2.4/5 networks, both of them have their slaves - 2.4ghz is for iot devices, 5ghz is for guests.

Bought wAP AC to garden and once I added slave networks configuration it immidiately drops all connected devices and can't get handshake anymore. I disable iot/guests configuration and both home2.4/5 are starting to work fine and gets connection from clients. I have different configuration profiles per each device (different channel) and I thought maybe I picked wrong/unsupported channel, but when I apply one of cAP configuration profiles into wAP it still doesn't work.

What may be wrong there? Does wAP AC radio/hw differs from cAP AC's and somehow that configuration is unsupported?
To be honest iot/guests networks are not something I need in garden, but I just wonder where the problem is.

I would love to help but allergic to capsman. Get rid of that and I will be glad to take a look at the config.
In addition its a sexist functionality, should be capsperson!!

At least this is a bit worrying:
tx-power=40
Gladly the radios are limited in transmission power, either set them to auto (for testing purposes) or 20 at most.

My best guess would be the configuration part...it looks a bit messy

This was some leftover from testing, I have this field back on default.

Configuration is messy I know, because there are 4 devices with 4 presets which gives 16 different configs. However as I wrote, when I switch config from working cAP to wAP it still doesn't work, so that bring us to my original question if cAP and wAP HW is simmilar or same. Maybe wAP have greater power. but doesn't like slave wireless interfaces in exchange?
