Home Mesh Quick set config unexpected results

Sun Feb 14, 2021 11:49 am

I have two Mikrotik devices.
* HAP AC2 -RBD52G-5HacD2HnD
* HAP AC lite - RB952Ui-5ac2nD

My AC2 is the Primary router and I used Home Mesh to setup my Wifi. The Secondary device, AC lite, was put in caps mode and successfully connected to the Primary router.

I notice that my Wifi devices can't connect to the Primary device for WiFi. My WiFi is served by the Secondary device only. How do I get WiFi from both the devices to work? Is there something I need to do after choosing the Home Mesh Quick set and joining the Secondary device? I note that there are no Mesh configs under the Mesh config section. Only CapsMan seems to be configured by the Home Mesh Quick set.

If I am misunderstanding how Mesh works what recommendations is there to extend Wifi into another area of my house?

I got it working. I don't know why it is working.

On the primary router I removed the WiFi, WLAN1 and WLAN2, from the CAP under wireless. Not sure why I'd want to remove it to make it work but that is what I needed to do. If there is a better way please let me know.

Actually for some reason you have to setup CAPs discovery on the CAPsMAN itself.

Either set the address to 127.0.0.1 or the port to bridge / ether#.

Or you can remove it from the CAPsMAN list and you'll have to set them up separately from the CAPsMAN-aged wireless interfaces, which is kinda bummer.

HEY MIKROTIK, I THINK THIS IS A BUG!

If you have caps-man running on your router... And a cap set up in caps mode... Connected at layer2...

If you have create Enabled in caps that will do it.

Had the same issue with hAP ac2. After Quick setting of Home Mesh you need to do 2 things.
1. In Wireless-CAP put your router address in "CAPsMAN" addresses field.
2. Make changes to firewall rules in terminal window wih this command
/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input dst-address-type=local src-address-type=local place-before=[/ip firewall filter find where comment="defconf: drop all not coming from LAN"]
