My network looks like this: Chateau LTE12 -> cAP ax (1) -> cAP ax (2). Everything on capsman.
Due to notorious wifi disconnects, i thought I would connect rb260gs to cAP AX (2) and would distribute network on laptops connecting to rb260gs.
So now I have Chateau LTE12 -> cAP ax (1) -> cAP ax (2) -> rb260gs.
I connect my laptops to rb260gs but I get no internet connection. Is there some IP conflict on these devices? Shall I change some setup on rb260gs?
Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
Check the logs of capsman device to see what is happening
Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
When you get tired of capsman, I can help get it working....... Its more pain that its worth IMHO. In fact it takes over the config like effing egg plant in a garden. 
Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
Some newbies dislike CAPsMAN...I actually love it 
Let me be clear...I've learned a lot from @anav!
It's a bit difficult to analyse by lack of info...how are the cAP AX's configured? AFAIK, when they are reset to CAPS Mode, it should work. I think by sharing the config from CAPsMAN and both CAP's, we would be able to explain:
Remove serials and any other private info, post between code tags by using the </> button.

Truth be told you are brave and I am a coward......... when it comes to capsman implementation.
Also, you didnt learn anything from me as I dont know anything, but I have successfully passed on information other 'real' experts provide.

Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
Just to add, if I connect my laptop directly to cAP 2 (no rb260gs in between) it works fine.

Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
By the fact that when you connect the laptop directly to CAP 2 everything works, but through RB260 does not work, you can understand that the problem lies in its settings. Show / see the settings of RB260, unfortunately it is SWOS and you can only show screenshots of settings. First of all check what IP address it has, you can see in winbox/neighbors

Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
You have a conflict of IP addresses. change the rb260 address to any free one.
192.168.88.1 is the same address on the router.

Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax
I have changed the IP address of rb260gs to 192.168.88.246. Is this ok?
Other devices have different IPs:
Still no internet.
I have just noticed that the cAP I am connecting to got restarted in the meantime (the uptime is less than 2 minutes - I haven't restarted it).

Re: No internet on rb260gs conected to cAP ax [SOLVED]
OK, I have now connected cAP2 to rb260gs through ether 5 instead of ether 1 and now it works.
ether1 on rb260gs seems to be a poe port and I am powering rb260gs with a separate charger. Somehow there must have been a conflict. cAP1 powers up cAP2 via poe and I guess it has not enough power to power up rb260gs, even though rb260gs is powered from charger.
Thanks for all advices and help!!
