Connecct cAp to hap ax2

Fri Apr 26, 2024 10:04 am

Hi,
I have problems to connect the devices.
Before I was able to connect them with Capsman, but after uninstall the 'wireless' package, then install 'wifi-qcom-ac' I am confused what I have to do in that case if I use the Small Cap Aps.
I read https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... iFiCAPsMAN but I dont understand what I have to do.
Thx for help

There are 2 versions of capsman: legacy and wifiwave2.

cAP as in RBcAP2nD uses legacy wifi.
hAP AX2 uses wave2 wifi.

Depending on which device acts as your controller, it might be possible to have both capsman versions installed there so both environments can be controlled using the same device.
But don't do that with a device also having wifi since you may loose it's local radio capability.

The link you refer to is for wave2 capsman, so not applicable for cAP.
Better to start here, then you will see cap is not compatible with wave2 drivers:

A lot of "if", "might" and "maybe", I know ...
