I'm setting up a few of the CAP AP access points that I purchased off of Amazon a few days back (MikroTik cAP ac Dual-band 802.11ac Wireless Access Point (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD-US)).
Each one of these will have an ethernet cable ran to it, so they don't need to communicate between each other. My 4011 will be handling all of the work.
I'm encountering some issues however.
When I set it to home AP dual, I can set up a network to broadcast about both 2g and 5g, but I get no internet access.
and
When I set it to wisp AP, I get the internet, but can only broadcast at 5g, which makes it limited in its range across the house.
and
When I attempt to set up CAP, I fail miserably. Mainly because I don't know anything about it, but the walkthroughs said to use it... however.. I don't have integrated wifi to set as a wlan interface to begin with... so... I don't think thats an option for me (but I really don't know)...
I guess my best option would be to use the home ap dual, or maybe the mesh (I dunno), and attempt to get this thing broadcasting both bands to make sure we can get wifi everywhere in the home, but I am not sure what I need to do to get it to have internet? The thing I notice about the home AP, is that it removes the bridge option that WISP provides. This seems to help a lot. For some reason the home options make me set up a local network on it, which is kind of silly since I'm using my 4011 to handle that sort of stuff.
For the last couple months, I have used old routers as my wifi broadcasters, leaving the dhcp up to my 4011, and they just bridge as access points... they worked good, but they're ugly, and these APs from mikrotik look real nice.
Thoughts?
