Cap Lite and wifi-qcom-ac

Wed May 22, 2024 5:19 pm

Hi all,

as subject says - does anyone know for certain if cAP Lite can be upgraded with wifi-qcom-ac package? I am building capsman roaming network with two cAP ac APs and I need two more devices. Where I live it is becoming difficult to source cAP acs, but cAP Lites are available and very affordable.

Thank you,
Bruno

The cAP lite has the MIPSBE architecture and is therefor not compatible with the wifi-qcom-ac driver.

Do you know if there's an alternative library issued by Mikrotik that could enable WiFi (wave 2) for cap lite?

Thanks,
Bruno

cap lite (RBcAPL-2nD) is a 2.4ghz wireless device (802.11n aka wifi4). There is no software or driver anywhere that could overcome these hardware limitations.
