Provision both wifi6 and wifi5 from one router

Thu Feb 08, 2024 11:49 am

Hello

I saw that in 7.13.4 version i could have in one router both WIFI package and the wireless package.
I have tried to configure in one router to provision both routers wifi6 and wifi5.
When i enable both capsman
WIFI-->RemoteCap-->Capsman and
Wireless -->Capsman--->cap Interface--->Manager
WIFI6 router can provision but wifi5 not
To be able to provision Wifi5 routers i have to disable WIFI capsman.
So the question is can i provision both wifi5 and wifi6 routers from one router?
If yes is there a guide how can i accomplish that?
Thanks in advanced

Yes you can (thank you Barrack :lol: )
I have a running setup at home (lab environment) using Hex and it works just fine.

You need to setup and provision those APs in their respective environments.

Wave2 devices via Wifi (cAP AX, AX2, AX3, AX Lite, L009, any arm-AC device using wave2 drivers)

Legacy wifi devices via Wireless / Capsman (all the rest)

If you run into issues while running dual-CAPsMAN scenario on single device, in 7.13.x releases, check if CAPs are actually joining both CAPsMANs.
We have resolved an issue in 7.14beta, that could affect layer 3 CAP-CAPsMAN connections in this scenario. In 7.13.x you can use layer 2 CAP-CAPsMAN connections instead, if you encounter any issues with CAPs joining.
