There is no connection Cap ac

Mon Feb 20, 2023 1:36 am

Hello.
When I set Cap ac as a repeater in Winbox and I reset it again, now the light is on only for power. Even if I try to connect it via cable and to restore it with Netinstall it is not possible.
What else can i try?
Thank you.

AFAIK default config has firewall enabled, and eth1 is on WAN side.
Try to connect via eth2 or via WLAN!

Eth1 is for power. Eth2 is for wlan.
That's how I connected it.
Is it possible otherwise?
I will try hard reset today.

I was able to connect to Netinstall via eth1.
I just had to find a new IP.
Now I install new OS and I start new setup.

You already did netinstall but default config on cap ac is indeed wan on eth1 ( and poe in).
Eth2 or wifi would have been possible for winbox access.

Yes I did.
Now I need to setup CAPs IP address.
Then I could connect on eth2 (Winbox).
Connected on eth1 I couldn't setup CAP.
I hope this will be the solution.

Connected on eth1 I couldn't setup CAP.
Logical as ether1 is part of WAN so default blocked by firewall for input.
Using Wifi you'd be able to get access as well.

I set it all over again. Now it works.
First I setup as bridge and then set it like wireless repeater with his own IP adress.
When I want to connect with my phone(via wifi) on MikroTik Home. I see it but can not connect.
Why? I set the right password and IP..
Is there any other setting I must do?
