Re: CAPsMAN

That’s what I originally was thinking was for the roaming that it would take care of passing it off to the other WAP as needed. I don’t know about anything else that it needs to do, but that’s the most important part for me anyway.

so what does everybody think?

I have an RB5009 and 3 - haP ax3. Presently all of the AX3 have their own SSID. I also use the AX3 as a simple switch for a few other device devices that are hardwired.

Re: Display connected WiFi clients?

that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Is there a way to have it display the host name of the client? presently it shows the MAC address. then I have to search on the DHCP server, active leases.
Like I said, I thought the old wind winbox did this automatically using quickset menu.

Display connected WiFi clients?

On the old version of WinBox, and the quickset mode, you could see all of the clients that were currently connected to the Wi-Fi. Is there anything similar to that on the new version of WinBox? Or is there a ROS command that will show this?

The camera works with a 12 V plug directly at the camera. It also works if I plug it into the 24 V - 802.3/af/at power supply via POE. I was hoping to have all Mikrotik equipment but Im going to get a different brand that handles the POE cameras well. Oh well. Thank you everyone for your input.
