RB4011 WIFI + Audience

Fri May 28, 2021 1:47 pm

Hi,

I want to do a home WIFI installation.

I want to use RB4011 with WIFI and connect ethernet backhaul to extend coverage with an Audience.

If I do the setup with Capsman I can have roaming ?

Thanks

RB4011 is a great router, have not used Audience so not qualified to comment.
Regular MT wifi such as on RB4011 is nothing to write home about, be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Though CAPsMAN is a great solution, in my opinion it only benefits from an environment with more than 2 wireless devices. Besides the fact that running standalone provides more settings (lol, even more I should have said). Without CAPsMAN you can have perfect roaming as well. If you want roaming to be an active process, you have to buy Enterprise grade gear.

Mikrotik wifi is not great, and the 4011's wifi is sub par for Mikrotik.

As for linking audience to the 4011s radio... That's just bad network design.

Mikrotik has done a great job of linking the audience to online radio. I appreciate that. Let's look in a positive direction
At least the idea is to hardwire the Audience.

But I broke it back out today with the new router OS. Wifi speed immediately dropped to 1/3 what I usually have.

Unplugged audience. Put my usual wap back in... Everything returned to normal.

For the brief time the Audience was in. My phone refused to join the wifi calling. Thank God I don't have to chase that sort of thing down anymore.
