*) wifi - fixed incorrect attribution of 802.11be capability to 802.11ax APs in output of scan command (introduced in v7.19beta2);

They’re cooking

victorbayas

I think you can use 802.11k/v but 802.11r (FT over DS) requires all the stations to be managed by the same controller.

Does MT have any plans to release a wifi 6 router with a Gpon port or even better a XGSPON port. XGS PON is being deployed everywhere and all MT has is a wifi 6 router with a 2.5 gig wan port. I really want to use MT wifi 6 routers for all my fiber customers but I need a WIFI 6 router with either a...

How to enable this?

+1 I’ve also sporadically noticed some packet loss from the hAP ax3 WiFi (0.5-5%), over Ethernet there is no packet loss so it is not my ISP's fault. Most streaming and video conferencing services are tolerant to these losses but it may not be the case for GFN (I have not tried the service personall...

IPv6 Fast Track is awesome, I'm already seeing way better speeds on my hAP ax3 as most CDNs nowadays prefer IPv6 leaving more free CPU power for the WiFi

Try updating your hAP ax3 to 7.17.2 (both ROS and Routerboard FW) and make sure to use the lesser congested channel in your environment. This is what I get over WiFi (my ISP gives me ~1020 mbps over 2.5GbE) from the hAP ax3 to my MacBook Pro when no one else is using the connection. Screenshot 2025-...

I can just wish that maybe in 20 years I can max the ax3s Wi-Fi with my internet uplink

I still remember when I went from a 2mbps ADSL connection to a whopping 50mbps FTTH connection 10 years ago, time flies haha.

Any news on WiFi 7 lineup? just upgraded to gigabit fiber and my hAP ax3 can no longer saturate all the bandwidth my ISP provides (laughs) https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/6b93f885-d60c-43c1-9346-70e7bb680f70.png PD: Had to run the Speedtest inside a container in the ax3 as ether1 (WAN) is the onl...

victorbayas

I don't think so. To achieve a throughput of ≥ 1 Gbps over WiFi, you typically need a 160 MHz bandwidth because WiFi generally operates at about 60-70% efficiency of the PHY rate. At my home office, I have an 850 Mbps internet connection, but my hAP ax3 cannot fully saturate the connection with a si...

victorbayas

These are already supported on ax devices.

victorbayas

Tx/Rx errors are normal in a shared medium like WiFi. I think the older drivers just didn't report these errors.

Can PPSK be used with WPA3?

victorbayas

There is no superchannel in the new wifi-qcom(-ac) drivers, also there is no no_country_set. (BTW, superchannel was a mode, no_country_set was regulatory domain, so you're doing wrong things in the first place.) The router is probably kicking you back to a default of Latvia, which is at 17. And yes...

victorbayas

"Wireless" is fine with 7.17, but "wifi-qcom-ac" is crap, unfortunately. I have had long time open memory leak ticket SUP-147911 for hAP ac^2. This ticket has been closed without solution - but it is bullet proof the leak is related to "wifi-qcom-ac", because "wir...

Would be great if MikroTik had rDNS for DHCP clients, I miss being able to identify the clients making requests to my Adguard Home server.

Nice!

Tested reselect-interval again on my AX3, it works great without disconnecting clients only when it chooses non DFS channels. Otherwise the interface goes down for CAC (if you have 802.11k/v/r with the same SSID for both bands it shouldn’t be noticeable). I left it enabled for 2.4GHz with auto chann...

victorbayas

I don't know why but i have a feeling that ax2 provides better wifi coverage than ax3.

Yeah, these high gain antennas are too directional compared to internal ones.

victorbayas

Thanks Mikrotik, the new mDNS repeater is awesome for people with their streaming devices in isolated VLANs! Just make sure to allow input to 224.0.0.251 on port 5353 hehe

I can get 650mbps next to the AX3, is yours running at 80MHz AX mode?

victorbayas

BTW heavily congested ? You obviously need to take into account your client devices but I doubt UNII-3 ranges are frequently used ? Outside of the EU UNII-1 and UNII-3 concentrate the higher amount of APs as DFS is not required to operate on these frequencies, I have neighbor whose ISP router is ru...

victorbayas

Correct. You can specify the frequency range yourself but if it's only DFS range and DFS is detected, it's radio silence when that happens ... Thanks for the quick reply! In the interface status I can see there's a list of channel priorities however it doesn't seem possible to customize them Screen...

victorbayas

Hello there, is it possible to prioritize DFS channels? As the channel selection algorithm seems to prefer non DFS channels despite they’re heavily congested. As far as I understand if you pass only DFS channels in the frequency options it won’t have any fallback when a radar is detected, is this co...

What about hAP ax lite?
Need 5Ghz

See also https://mikrotik.com/product/l11ug_5haxd, however personally I’d buy a ready to deploy device for a little extra

victorbayas

Attach each VAP to a VLAN and use Firewall rules to isolate the networks, also enable client isolation in the WiFi interfaces

Today, I unset the frequency setting on my hAP AX3 router from channel 100 (which is clear in my environment). It automatically switched to channel 149, and now the WiFi performance is fantastic.

Me too, also with the default !reselect-interval channels are not scanned? I would answer with yes. It would be a breaking change otherwise. I tried with a low interval and the interface status changes to scanning, dfs and whatever. So it is no background operation. May be different on AX hardware ...

He is right of course when saying that the most recent mainline stable kernel is the most secure one but companies like Red Hat t...

victorbayas

I have some questions on how the reselect-interval works? Does it uses dedicated RF hardware like other vendors and most importantly does it interrupt WiFi network traffic on the interface when a DFS channel is being used and the background scan is triggered?

Thanks!

Edit: I have a hAP AX3

victorbayas

What I did to “fix” disconnections on my hAP AX3 was increasing the DHCP lease time from 30 minutes to 1 day on all the interfaces. My iPhone was disconnecting all the time before doing this change.
