very simple:You need at least 1 configuration. But it depends:
What exact device(s) will you be using as CAP?
What RouterOS version will you be running?
How many SSID's will you use?
Are VLAN's involved?
Do you want to set the frequency per radio manually or do you prefer to have it auto selected?
maybe with older versions of ROS. 7.13.2 needs settings. If at least one thing is missing, the whole thing won't do anything.If you do not want to be very specific about the frequency settings, you can simply not set anything in the channel. Then one configuration will suffice for both bands, each AP will run in auto frequency mode. Separate configs for 2 / 5 GHz are needed if you want to exclude certain standards or specify non default channel width etc.

Besides answering (all) (my) questions, are you please willing to share your config of all devices involved?
Code: Select all/export file=anynameyoulike
as CAP? what is a CAP?What exact device(s) will you be using as CAP?
My router, a CRS112, has 7.13.2 installed and runningWhat RouterOS version will you be running?
One SSID called G21 (initially, but my plans are gone. No-one needs those devices now, it's just for me, to improve the learning curve. So if a shorter or longer name makes a difference, I'm flexible)How many SSID's will you use?
not yet. Was planned... 2 weeks agoAre VLAN's involved?
I don't care. I'm happy with auto if it worksDo you want to set the frequency per radio manually or do you prefer to have it auto selected?

as soon as I configure something, wifi is not working anymore. I have to leave 98% blank or unconfigured… could use a tp-link instead…If you do not want to be very specific about the frequency settings, you can simply not set anything in the channel.

Assuming this remark is for me:So you want to say, that when I upgrade a system, it doesn‘t upgrade everything… and I have to do the comlicated part myself?
Hi, thanks, I think I‘ll stay with the defaults. Everytime there are options, I think about the manufacturer, why didn‘t he make that…? Mikrotik must have its reasons.Assuming this remark is for me:So you want to say, that when I upgrade a system, it doesn‘t upgrade everything… and I have to do the comlicated part myself?
The upgrade will do just the upgrade and "nothing changes". No complications.
When you consider using the wifi-qcom-ac driver (i.e. in a hybrid ac and ax world), you would have to manually change the settings of the previous CAPsMAN settings yourself...the complicated part you probably referring to. Which isn't complicated at all, if you have experience with MikroTik Wifi.
Do you want help?
HP/Aruba InstandOn 22Out of curiosity: which HP access points (model code) did your friend buy? I am interested as well. And some performance feedback if you can get from him on how they perform and how much area they cover. Thanks
And there are also values for routing. And those are not reachable. End of (this) discussion.you can do more than 10mbit/s in crs112 - See "Switching results"

But as soon you do routing look here:
"Ethernet test results"

I don't know if you understand that but in simple words: crs112 is a switch and not a router.
It does not matter what CRS is the abbreviation for. Like Unifi names their devices e.g. Dream Machine. Where is the functionality that came create dreams or improve my personal dreams? you see?
Look at the datasheet. or do you buy devices by looking at pictures only???

1. he has never devices and so he has newer firmware / softwareFunny, had an Aruba InstantOn AP22 for 1 week early 2022 here for testing. Wasnt satisfied and sent it back. What annoyed most: cloud management with hardly any settings available. Reboot for any change and the need for cloud to manage it at all.
You mean, hahahahah, when VW sells you a car and tells you about the emission values. Then turns out: these cant be reached in reality and are fake???? Never happened?
Ok, if Audi sells me a quattro, I may not expect that all wheels are
You dont know what you are talking about. Apple pear comparison.3. cloud for management… hm, do you tell mikrotik what you think about cloud hosted router? they offer such things
Performance wise I was satisfied. And I dont know if there are hardware revisions but AP22 is still sold with same specs as 2022.1. he has never devices and so he has newer firmware / software
2. the settings he needs seem to be there. He is happy, I don‘t know the devices.
That sound not right. In such a setup without vlan and not firewall rules and just switching, the switch HW offloading should give you wirespeed. As long as ether1 (your wan) is part of the switch and not CPU.Just a bridge with hw offload and 2 ap‘s… and that reduces performance to 10-50 mbit? Ok, what did mikrotik test then?
the way you try to discuss is silly, you don‘t take the quattro argument, but take some other weird bullshit to justify yourself.You mean, hahahahah, when VW sells you a car and tells you about the emission values. Then turns out: these cant be reached in reality and are fake???? Never happened?

Or you mean, when you buy a SUV and the datasheet says: 8l/100km. In reality you cant go below 10l no matter how "smart" you drive?
So please stop making stupid comparisons.
the e- is short for "excluding".Audi e-tron - why is TRON not included?
Finally something sensible.I think it's time to lock this topic.
