Hi,
i need to solve this issue, im new in the Mikrotik world, i tried to set a WiFi roaming scenario with 3 Hap Ax2.
but i see that no device are using 5ghz and i don't know why.
Re: All my device prefer 2.4ghz over 5ghz. Mikrotik hap ax2 with capsman.
Can you please post your configuration?

Never mind the configs for the moment. Turn off the 2GHz radio on the router and see whether the devices connect at 5GHz. Or change the SSID on 5GHz and see if it comes up as an available network.
My 5 and 2 capable devices generally prefer 5 and only switch to 2 some distance away from the router.

Re: All my device prefer 2.4ghz over 5ghz. Mikrotik hap ax2 with capsman.
But some dual-band devices prefer 2.4GHz and don't roam to 5GHz if they're left to their own will and no amount of support for WiFi mobility (802.11 r/k/v) changes that. One example of such devices is Huawei MediaPad T5 ... which does work with 5GHz-only SSIDs just fine.
Re: All my device prefer 2.4ghz over 5ghz. Mikrotik hap ax2 with capsman.
I don't know if my capsman config are configured correctly with the two bands or not.
Main reason is because my Nintendo Switch still prefer 2.4 when the router is near the console and the signal is poor and loses connectivity during gameplay. When a MSI Notebook in the same room work with maxed signal.
my house is divided into 3 floors, each of have one Hap Ax2 in roaming like you see in the configuration.
I tryed WiFI AC and still same. Atm everything is AX, 2.4GHz and 5Ghz.

Hereby some suggestions:
It was missing the provision rules, they are needed for all devices running in CAPS Mode.
