2.4 GHz & 5GHz set up channel configuration

Sun Apr 28, 2024 3:00 pm

Hi,

I am trying to configure 2.4 GHz & 5GHz on cAP ax on a single SSID.

I have done this using CAPsMAN.
I need some guidance regarding channel configuration for 5GHz & 2.4GHz as none of the settings are configured I am on 5GHz
I believe when setting 5GHz this is the right channel config if I am not wrong?

What would be the config for 2.4GHz? Band? Channel width do I need to specify the frequencies on both too or can I leave it blank?
These are also my provisioning settings, which is better to set cfg1 as 2.4 GHz & 5GHz as cfg2 or it does not make any difference? Thank you.

Configuring as slave config is wrong.

See for a working basic example: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... onexample:

so to make sure I am understanding this, if a cfg1 with a band of 5GHz AX, channel width is configured as 20/40/80, the master would be cfg1 then I need to create a separate cfg for another 5GHz band?
Same with 2.4ghz bands? I am a bit confused, sorry

First, documentation says that local interfaces must not be provisioned by caps an (ie, the interfaces on the capsman, if any, must be configured manually).

Second, a single configuration and a single provisioning rule is sufficient if you don't want/need to set specific channels (leave blank everything about band, width, frequency). Otherwise create distinct configurations for them (eg, cfg1 for 5ghz, cfg2 for 2.4ghz) and distinct provisioning rules (eg, one for cfg1, one for cfg2, use "supported bands" to select the destination interfaces).
