HAP ax3 configuration

Sun Jan 08, 2023 6:15 pm

Hello, just got my hand on a brand new hap ax3. As i'm new to it and have not really configured much on mikrotik devices can someone please post a good working configuration example for the ax3 so i can get started from some point?

I was use to hap ac and ROS6 but a lot has changed on ROS7 and wifiwave2.

When I started with v7 and wifiwave2 (using Audience which is ac device) I reset unit to defaults (had to as wifiwave2 is optional on audience), only added basic wireless config (SSID and PSK). And performance was already pretty decent. I've played a bit since, but I can't really say tgat it affected performance in my typical use case.

So my advice: go with defaults and do minor tweaks later if needed.

Ok, can you share your current config (/wireless export)? Make sure to remove the personal info if any. If you place it between code tags it will be most readable.

The only working setup i got working was this.
# jan/08/2023 20:00:23 by RouterOS 7.6
# software id = 6YG9-YNT9
#
# model = C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD
/interface wifiwave2 channel
add frequency=2412,2437,2462 name=ch-2ghz width=20mhz
add frequency=5180,5260,5500 name=ch-5ghz width=20/40/80mhz
/interface wifiwave2 security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk group-key-update=1h name=sec1 wps=disable
/interface wifiwave2 configuration
add channel=ch-5ghz country=Estonia mode=ap name=hub-cfg security=sec1 ssid=Hub2
add channel=ch-2ghz country=Estonia mode=ap name=hubz-cfg security=sec1 ssid=Hubz2
/interface wifiwave2
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] channel.frequency=5170-5330 configuration=hub-cfg \
    configuration.mode=ap disabled=no security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] channel.frequency=2412,2437,2462 configuration=hubz-cfg \
    configuration.mode=ap security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk
It does not matter what channels you set if any. When you select 20/40/80/160 it immediately says no channels available.

By looking at the radios tab i can see that there is no 160 radio listed. Just a wild guess here, but should there be?
