hAP ax² - second virtual WLAN on 2.4GHz ?

Fri Nov 04, 2022 4:08 pm

Hello,
I just got my hAP ax² and having hard time with wifiwave 2 config.

I need two virtual WLANs on both 2.4 and 5GHz. I made two on 5GHz without issues, but when I try to make second one on 2.4GHz (main 2.4 interface set as master), I get message "failed to create interface". On the other hand, if I set first 2.4 virtual as master for second, interface is created.
What to do here ?

What version of RouterOS are you running?
And can you share your config (/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyoulike, don't forget to remove any personal information)?

Here's the config, I just started, ignore everything except wifi (nothing is configured for now).

I've configured everything, cannot get 2nd "virtual WLAN" on 2.4GHz interface (which is set as master to both of them). If I enable first, second gets "failed to create interface" message. If I enable second, first one gets that message. If I set first virtual WLAN to be master on second virtual WLAN, I don't get above message but it doesn't work (obviously).
Config in attachment.

The reason you cannot run both guest-wlan and private-guest2 interfaces at the same time is that you've configured identical MAC addresses for both of them.

Ftoms, did the software do that or does the admin have to manually shoot themselves in the foot?

Why would one set the same mac address?? Seems like running naked with scissors. ;-)

Thank you, I guess I never went to look there, because I never had issue like that.

I certainly didn't do that. It was made from scratch, same as for two 5GHz virtual APs, which didn't get same MAC.
I guess I ran into a small bug. :D

Anyway, thank again, everything is working as it should ! :)
