Can someone help me with the setup of a mesh of Audience units that cause repeater units to not listen on the user facing wifi channels?
I face the problem of repeater units that don't listen on the "user facing wifi channels" but just listen on the "backhaul wifi channel".
Description of the procedure I followed:
- Tested with both RouterOS 6.49.0 and 7.5.0, I have the same problem.
- Start the Controller unit and connect to it with an Ethernet Cable on ETH2
- Connect to Webfig and use the Quick Set "Home Mesh" to setup the Mesh (define the SSID & password...). I also tried using Winbox instead of Webfig and got the same result.
- Start each repeater unit pairing them to the controller unit pressing on the "WPS Sync" button and verify that the pairing is successful checking that the LED turns green not blinking
- The controller unit has a green-not-blinking LED and listens on the 3 wifi channels and its : the 2 user facing channels with the desired SSID and the backhaul channel
- The repeater units has a green-not-blinking LED BUT only listen on the backhaul wifi channel (SSID "SYNC-***") , they don't listen on the user facing wifi channels
- Repeater units
- Are connectable with Winbox on their Mac address on ETH2 with the default login/password but they don't have an IP address
- Have wlan1 and wlan2 disabled / greyed
- Have wlan3 enabled (the backhaul channel) in mode Station Bridge and Winbox reports a virtual wlan4 in mode AP Bridge (I don't know what a virtual wireless interface is, I'm not very knowledgeable on networking)
- Don't report any "Remote CAP" in the CapsMan screens
- Don't report a Mesh configured
- Controller unit
- Don't report any "Remote CAP" in the CapsMan screens
- Don't report a Mesh configured
