Hello
Does the hAP ac^2 could support 160Mhz or just up to 80Mhz?
How can I configure the following on the caps channel setting?
also if on my Capsman setting I dont have defined any channels how does it pick it?
thank you

Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
Set Control Channel on 20MHz, nothing else!
Set extension channel to Ceee.
Set channel to either one of these frequencies:
5180 (36)
5260 (52)
5500 (100)
5580 (116)
5660 (132)
This also depends on where you are located!
Max for the hAP ac2 is 80MHz.
You might want to adjust transpmission power, especially on the 2.4GHz radio.

Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
Can i do the 2.4 and 5 on the same cfg?
Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
I prefer to have a configuration per radio per accesspoint. But it will work.
Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
how do you make it? can you share an example?
i am facing some raspberry pi3 that can't connect to the wifi since the change of the width to 20mhz with Ceee
how do i allow 2.4?

Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
Ceee means 5GHz (as 2.4GHz allows Ce at max).
Here is (part of) my config:
This is working really well for me. In addition, VLAN 50 is HOME VLAN, VLAN 51 is Guest VLAN.

I took the power adjustment you have suggested. Can you explain what is the value of 9 vs 25 and what is the max?
Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
tx-power numbers are in dBm, so higher numbers mean higher Tx power. Maximum is either device capability or country-specific limit, whichever lower. And don't forget that to calculate actual Tx power output from wireless chip one has to substract antenna gain from set values (antenna gain for built-in antennae is usually 2 or 3 dBi).
The numbers shown in example are sensible because propagation loss is greater on higher frequencies while capacity is higher on higher frequencies hence it's benefitial if client devices select 5GHz AP rather than 2.4GHz one. And client devices tend to select whichever is strongest hence reduction of 2.4GHz tx-power as compared to 5GHz tx-power.

Tnx for the explanation!

So 25 for 5GHz and 9 for 2.4Ghz is recommended ?
When you publish channels do you publish specific frequencies ?
Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
The values are working fine for me, but it depends on your situation and needs. If I remember correctly, it is recommended to have a difference of 7 (or 9) dBi (where the 2.4GHz radio should be lower).So 25 for 5GHz and 9 for 2.4Ghz is recommended ?

Regarding the channels...that's up to you. You can configure a list of channels from which the CAPs will pick one. Or have everything auto. Or, in my case, specify the channel per CAPs per radio. In the end, it is up to you.

When changwd to 5500 it says not supported channel on interface. Ehat does it mean
Re: CAPsMAN Wi-Fi Channel width question
Exactly what it says...it is not supported.When changwd to 5500 it says not supported channel on interface. Ehat does it mean
Cause could be either not allowed by regulations (what country are you in?), when you are trying to set a 5GHz channel on the 2.4GHz radio (or vice versa) or misconfiguration (i.e. on the extension channels).

It means that the control channel and/or the extension channels are out of range or not allowed to use in that specific country with this configuration.
