Hi! I want to bump up the question. I am just starting my adventure with Mikrotik hardware. I am about to build my new network with RB750GR3 and two or three cAP ac. It is possible that my ISP will not allow running their router/modem in bridge mode so I must consider either running double NAT or just abandoning the hex and using cAPs with the provided router, but then, will I be able to use one of them as CAPsMAN host? What are my options guys? Or maybe RouterOS will be able to handle the double NAT situation easily? I am a kinda noob in this field, but I feel that have a general understanding, but I may be wrong. Thanks in advance!

CAPsMAN server can be installed on any RouterOS device, even if the device itself does not have a wireless interface:

Make one of the aps CAPsMAN...that's it. But you might want to consider using both aps stand alone (there is no real added value to running CAPsMAN).
