Recommend using ether2 to configure the device OFF Bridge. Below is an examplle. Change the ipv4 settings on your desktop or laptop to something like 192.168.36.5 gateway 192.168.36.1 /interface bridge add ingress-filtering=no name=bridgegym vlan-filtering=yes /interface ethernet set [ find default...

Have you tried through Winbox using the MAC address (which can hopefully be found in discovered)?

Thanks. I did try this but it did not work.

I'm using a cAp ac with RouterOS 6.49.13. I followed this excellent guide to make an Access Point with VLANS. I works great. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=143620 However, after configureing the device as an access point I can't get into the router anymore with Webfig or Winbox....

If using Winbox, go to status tab for the selected interface.

Yep, there it is in Winbox Wireless Status tab. Thank you!

go4030

When you used the Unify AP, which frequency did it select ? Which channel width ? Which control channel ? Use the same one on cAP AC (after switching of the Unify :lol: ). And then you can compare apples to apples. This is a good idea. I need to do some research to figure out how to do this. Thanks!

go4030

It only scans once. It finds the frequency with the least number of other devices and sets it. That's all it does.

I know this thread is old but still relevent... Is there a way to know which frequency the "auto frequency" detector selected?

Hi. Is there a guide on how to setup the optimal WiFi setting for the CAP ac wireless access point to get the best Wifi performance. I realize that there are alot of factors involved. I'm in the US using a US device. Here is why I'm asking... I added a cAP ac to my network and the WiFi performance i...

Do you mean in RouterOS or SwitchOS? If the latter, please give examples. If the former, I largely agree.

I was talking about RouterOS so we are in agreement. I like SwitchOS for switches and RouterOS for routers.

go4030

BTW, newer version of SwitchOS allow you to name the VLANs on the VLANs tab so it is easier to remember what is what. Also, the checkboxes are colored so they are easier to see. My screen captures were from several years ago and an earlier version of SwitchOS. Thanks for posting your conifgs. Betwe...

Out of curiosity...why would you like to switch to SwOS? What problem are you running into? Have you seen this help page: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=76415036#CRS3xxandCSS32624G2S+seriesManual-VLANConfigurationExample I like RouterOS and Winbox for the routers but fo...

I'm working with a HAP ac Lite (RB952Ui-5ac2nD-TC) that has wlan1(2GHz) and wlan2(5GHz). I have them both setup with the same SSID.

go4030

From what I read the CRS326-24G-2S+RM and CRS326-24G-2S+IN are identical switches that are just in different cases. However according to the product descriptions the max power consumption are different. Is this correct? What makes them different? CRS326-24G-2S+RM = 24W max power consumption CRS326-2...

I wanted to add some more about my setup. I don't think I need to give the Mikrotik device an IP address in this setup?

I want to purchase a L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN in the US. I see that it is out of stock everywhere. Is this because it's new or is there a systemic chip shortage issue that will keep it out of stock for a long time? When is it expected to be back in stock? Thank you.

Wow. Hands down this is THE VERY BEST tutorial and setup guide on VLANS and Mikrotik ROS that I have seen!

No, running CAPs with same MAC address won't work, clients will get pretty confused (it's actually used as B SSID and it needs to be unique in the neighbourhood). So do change it on one of VAP interfaces. Just make sure it's different than anything else in your network. Or delete the VAP interface ...
