10 second reset does not put CapAC into CAP mode!!

Fri Dec 11, 2020 1:32 am

So frustrating

the 10 second reset doesn't put it into cap mode.

choosing CAP from the QuickSet doesn't either, although it does leave the wifi not active and still eth1 firewalled so you have to go and physically reset.

Don't count exactly the seconds. Checks the led's blinking scheme instead. On my Wap AC is less than 10 sec.

Alternatively you can Reset Configuration and choose CAPS Mode from there.

It seems like I did need to count to 11 instead. I was getting very frustrated. It was midnight and I already said I was leaving to come home 1 hour earlier.

But..

Both the '11 second' reset (yes, I know, it's just my bad timing of seconds), and the QuickSet 'caps' mode did not work. It looks like they did not set the discover interface on the capAc. I chose 'bridge all Lan ports', 'address automatic/any" and then I was met with nothing.
So the QuickSet didn't work at all and neither did the 11 second mode change to caps client.
I was using eth1 for poe-in and network in.
I had to set up from default configuration manually in the end after a lot of frustration and I missed a lot of sleep from getting home so late 🥱

I just connect to the device via default wifi.

Open winbox.
Select system
Reset-configuration
Skip backup
Caps-mode

I will try that way when I return to fit the second AP in the next week.
Usually the first thing I would do is upgrade the firmware. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.
I don't know whether to test your method, but with firmware update in-advance, and see if it somehow is breaking the caps-mode default configuration (missing/bad configuration of capsman discovery interface), or just do as you've said.
