Hello,

I have a Mikrotik hAP LTE6 setup as a travel router and I power it via a power bank on the go.

I am not sure if something changed with the new updates but it seems I can no longer have a slave WiFi2 interface in AP mode while WiFi1 is the master in station mode and it connects to a WiFi network as a client, for example a hotel WiFi.

As soon as I enable the slave WiFi, the master disconnects and connects constantly and the slave also never comes up. If I disable the slave WiFi, master WiFi immediately connects to the WiFi network and I have internet via ethernet ports.

I could swear it was working before. Any ideas or advice if I am doing something wrong?

Just discovered this must be a bug introduced in one of the later versions, this is happening in v7.18.2

Just rolled back to 7.15.2 and it works fine.

Reported to Mikrotik via support@mikrotik.com

I had a similar issue on a L009UiGS-2HaxD where the Wi-Fi uplink was also flapping. I think it was on 7.17.something, but for me it went away with 7.18.

Anyway, a work around that helped me was to set channel.band manually: The downside being that you need to know what the infrastructure is, in order to set it correctly.

Coming to think of it, the device where I saw the issue is currently on 7.19beta6, so it might have been on 7.18 I had the issue as well. But if you feel adventurous, you can try 7.19beta

Thanks for the input but for now I think I'll stay with 7.15.2 to avoid any issues with my upcoming travel until I receive positive confirmation the issue has been fixed.

By the way, do you know what happened to the Connect List function in WiFi?

AFAIK connect-list is available on the wireless package for older devices, while when using the wifi packages it is not. It has been discussed earlier in other threads.

If/when this feature is brought to the wifi package, I’d love to hear about it <3

Nothing to do with this post but the hAP ax lite LTE6 powered off a power bank is just awesome. Can any other vendor's kit do this? AS long as it's not hammered, the power bank I've got can last nearly a day.

Yeah, I also use it whit powerbank. Whit 20000mAh capacity I also can use it about a day. Will depend on usage,and conditions. Also latest lte fixes, changes have improved stability.

I also use it with a power bank, no problems there. The problem is with connecting to a Wi-Fi as a client and then using that as a WAN. In the latest 7.18.2, the virtual Wi-Fi keeps causing the primary to disconnect as soon as enabled.

More importantly can some one wifi expertise please help the OP. Geez!!

Well, no configuration has been posted, so not much to do but chat amongst ourselves.

I have a not-hAP (a map lite) running master and slave interfaces on 7.18, 7.18.2 as of yesterday, without a hitch, and had it also on an ax2 until I reconfigured it to 2.4 up 5 down a month ago.

@sk0003, please post your configuration. There is little anyone can do otherwise.
