Low speed through CAPSMAN

Mon Oct 19, 2020 3:28 pm

Hi there!
Hardware: 2 x Hap Ac2
I had 1 AP and it worked as standalone AP & Router, I used 20/40/80 MHz XXXX channel width in 5 Ghz band, and could download/upload with 300+ Mbit/s
After that, I've added 1 more else the same AP with CAPSMAN configuration on old Mikrotik.
But now, I have issue with a low speed download\upload speed through capsman (85-90 MBit/s) on the same 5 Ghz band.
Could you please lell me about my errors in configuration?
May be it's a my fault...
I've attached config file of my capsman router

Disable Capsman forwarding and set local forwarding.

It is under the settings.
/Caps-man Datapath

Example

/caps-man datapath add name="Wireless Network" client-to-client-forwarding=yes bridge=Network local-forwarding=yes

The CAP / WAP / HAP processor is not fast enough to encrypt the data trought an tunnel to the router and back.

Yeeeah! It worked for me! Thank you for your quick reply! :)

No clue why I see this recommendation so often or why it works for some people (if not placebo) but in all my setups with wAP local-forwarding=yes or no, makes absolutely no difference.
Same speed. max 400Mbps download max 500Mbps upload.
Just tested this again on a wAP AC. One SSID with local-forwarding and client-to-client-forwarding set to yes and another one with both set to no. Same deal on 5Ghz speed wise.
capsman on a RB1100AHx4.

It depends. Well, if you don't know I'll tell you.
1. Turning local forwarding on allow to the access points to rule the traffic without capsman server itself. If you have a weak proc in you capsman controller or any problems with cable network, or maby your local network is too much distributed, it is better to put "local forwarding" on.
2. Turning it off you will put all traffic through the capsman controller. Even if you don't need it, capsman will get all the traffic and analyze it. It is useful sometimes, when you have some special customization. For example, in my local network one of the cAP ac is a capsman controller and ac for now, and two cAP ac are ac only. They are putted in diffrent switches in our network with non-mikrotik equipment. So, if I will turn local forwarding off, all devies will get dhcp not from capsman, but from local network.
I hope I could help you to understand this option.

Theory is not the problem. Real world testing with the devices I work with tells me there is no difference. And wAP ac has some pretty slow CPU.
No clue what you mean by "So, if I will turn local forwarding off, all devies will get dhcp not from capsman, but from local network.". Local forwarding has nothing to do with where devices get their IPs.
