7.13 Beta 5Ghz issue (hap ax2)

Wed Nov 15, 2023 1:12 pm

Can't make a post on 7.13 Beta topic, so I hope somebody finds my feedback here.
I have RB5009 as CAPsMAN and ax2 and ax3 as CAPs.
Upgraded my ax2 to 7.13beta2 and got a "no available channels" error for 5Ghz interface.
RB5090 and ax3 on RouterOS 7.12 and all working fine there.

I have the exact same setup at home which I use for testing as well before moving to production devices on my clients network.
For now still on 7.13b1, everything working smooth using VLANs and everything.

Is something mentioned in log file of AX2 ? I ask because I saw someone mentioning a problem with default config after upgrade to 7.13b2.
Can you post config of AX2 as it is now ?
Also wifi part of RB5009 acting as capsman controller, please.

Added: you left 5GHz channel selection to auto.
What if you do specify a frequency (pick one preferably not in DFS range) ?

Here it is:

/interface wifiwave2 radio reg-info country=Canada number=0
  ranges: 2402-2472/30
          5170-5250/24/indoor
          5250-5330/24/dfs
          5490-5590/24/dfs
          5650-5730/24/dfs
          5735-5835/30

Q: why do you use Canadian country settings when you are based in Kiev ?

Ok. Looks like it's working now with hardcoded 5Ghz frequency (5745), but why it doesn't work with auto freq config?

DFS detection, perhaps ?
Normally it should move to another frequency on its own.
(but maybe it got confused because it thinks it is in Canada :lol: )

Can you downgrade to 7.13b1 to test again with auto ?

Yes, that's a consequence from Mikrotik observing quite strictly country settings (as everyone should but some manufacturers are quite a bit less obeying).

Is that a problem? Your accesspoint is probably still sending with higher signal than the mobile device.
Stronger is not always better...
