CAPS not showing in CAPsMAN

Tue Sep 10, 2024 8:50 pm

Hi All,

My CAPS are not showing on my CAPsMAN. Here is my setup:

Router (CAPsMAN) = CCR1036-12G-4S - RouterOS 7.15.3 - Pkg: wireless
CCR1036-12G-4S.txt
Switch = SW-netPower-16P - CRS318-16P-2S+ - Pkg: routeros 7.15.3
SW-netPower-16P.txt
RBD22UGS-5HPacD2HnD (CAP) - Pkg: wifi-qcom-ac 7.15.3
RBD22UGS-5HPacD2HnD.txt
Please see attached configs.

I setup CAP IP, but CAPS are unable to connect to CAPsMAN.

Can somone please take a look at the configs and let me know what could be the issue?

Thank you all!

You are using old-style capsman and expect it to work with new-style wifi drivers ?
That's not going to happen.
One wireless driver across the board, no mix.

2 options:
1- Move everything to wave2-world: Remove wireless package from CCR1036 and setup everything under wifi menu tree.
2- Stick to legacy wifi: replace wifi-qcom-ac package on Mantbox with wireless (a.k.a. put it back like it was)

Hi holvoetn,

Appreciate your reply.

1. I uninstalled wireless package from CCR1036, but now I don't have an option for Capsman anymore.
2. I uninstalled wifi-qcom-ac package on Mantbox and installed wireless package. Now I have Capaman option on Mantbox.

I would like to use CCR1036 as my Capsman. How do I do that? Sorry this is the first time I am testing Capsman.

Thank you!

For legacy capsman you do need wireless package on that ccr.

Again:
First choose.
Legacy capsman using old drivers or wave2 capsman with wave2 drivers ?

You do. It's under /interface/wifi (you have to use a few subtrees there from, capsman uses profiles). On devices with ac/ax radio and with wifi-qcom (or wifi-qcom-ac) drivers installed, one configures local radio(s) in the same configuration subtree.

I was able to get everything working. My CAPs are now connected to CCR1036 running CAPSMAN

On CCR1036 I have wireless package installed. Setup Capsman under Wireless > Capsman.

On RBD22UGS-5HPacD2HnD I have wireless package installed. Connected to Capsman (CCR1036) under Wireless > Wireless and under Wifi interfaces tab button CAP setup my Capsman connection.

One more question: I also have few L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD in my network that I would like to connect to CCR1036 Capsman. On L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD I currently have qifi-qcom package installed. Do I remove that package and install wireless package and then connect to my working Capsman?

I really appreciate all the help!

L22 uses wave2 radio.

That's the other capsman via wifi menu on your ccr.
Both versions can co-exist on the same controller.

But if there is only 1 wace2 device, why bother ? Set it up directly and reassess when you have multiple AX devices in your network.

As far as info in this thread goes, @OP runs a few RBD22UGS-5HPacD2HnD (which are ac devices) and now he threw an L22UGS-5HaxD2HaxD into the mix ... which is ax device. All of these are capable of running wifi drivers (L22 only this one), so @OP would better convert everything to wifi setup ... as @holvoetn suggested already in post #2 above (but @OP somehow didn't pick it up).

I seems to me that @OP didn't show us the whole picture ... but based on information presented so far, I'd suggest @OP to move over to new wifi (just has to find the /interface/wifi/capsman on his CCR).
