How to leave Capsman mode ?

Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:28 pm

Hello
I've a cAP ac which I needed to reset, because I lost admin access.
Unfortunatly, it seems I holded the reset button for too long and now, my AP is in Capsman mode.
Since I don't have any Capsman ready, I'd like to force AP to leave the capsman mode.

Trying to reset doesn't work and I can't get back the default Mikrotik-xxx wifi network.
I'm running Linux, so as far as I know, there's no Winbox available.

Any advice welcome,
Jean Baptiste Favre

Answering to myself: I took back control of the AP using the "/tool mac-telnet" command from the mikrotik router the AP is connected to.

Problem solved,

1- Release button when ap/cap and wireless leds blink alternate , mAp starts in out-of-the-box mode: no access from lan , only unsecured wireless enabled
didn't work for my new mAP lite on ROS & RouterBoot 6.48 either. When the device set to CAPs mode once, it always came back with (default) "CAP Configuration".
Using the advice above, it was possible to set the device to factory settings (without CAPs mode). This was also possible by using winbox with the IP of the device.
Update to ROS&RouterBoot 7.5 didn't change this behavior.
