I decided to grab a Mikrotik CapAX in order to get some experience configuring their APs, all well as to see how the 'Tik wifi really performs. I've seem plenty of people declare that it is less than amazing, while others say that it works just fine for them. It was a little weird to put my head around but I think I've at least understood the concept? Undoubtedly there is much for me to learn. And before someone screams at me, I left the freq settings to auto just because I was merely trying to get things to work before I fine tune. One immediate question is why my phone is able to see the Homestar2 and Strongbad2 networks (5ghz) while my laptop is unable to but sees the 2ghz networks just fine. Laptop is able to see 5ghz on my Unifi AP AC PRO running OPENWRT just fine. It is a freq or bandwidth issue? Appreciate the help and criticism in advance.
Config is as follows:
