CAPsMAN - WiFi keeps dropping

Tue Jan 30, 2018 6:27 pm

Hi All,

I am using cAP Lite - RBcAPL-2nD with 6.41 and have a new problem with the WiFi signal dropping when I move my configuration over to CAPsMan.

If I have a basic WiFi configuration Office Net and Office Guest I have a solid WiFi signal.

Hopefully you may be able to assist - this is my CAPsMAN configuration text which I apply after a reset with basic configuration -

/user set 0 name=upland
/user set 0 password=12345
/system identity
set name=AP01
/interface bridge
add name=OfficeGuest
add name=OfficeNet
/ip address
add address=10.10.10.1/24 interface=OfficeNet network=10.10.10.0
add address=10.10.20.1/24 interface=OfficeGuest network=10.10.20.0
/ip pool
add name=OfficePool range=10.10.10.2-10.10.10.250
add name=GuestPool range=10.10.20.2-10.10.20.250
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=OfficePool authoritative=yes disabled=no interface=OfficeNet name=OfficeDHCP
add address-pool=GuestPool authoritative=yes disabled=no interface=OfficeGuest name=GuestDHCP
/ip dhcp-server network
add address=10.10.10.0/24 gateway=10.10.10.1 dns-server=192.168.122.150,192.168.122.151 netmask=24
add address=10.10.20.0/24 gateway=10.10.20.1 dns-server=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 netmask=24
/ip firewall nat
add chain=srcnat src-address=10.10.10.0/24 action=masquerade
add chain=srcnat src-address=10.10.20.0/24 dst-address=!192.168.122.0/24 action=masquerade
/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward dst-address=10.10.10.0/24 src-address=10.10.20.0/24 action=drop
add chain=forward dst-address=10.10.20.0/24 src-address=10.10.10.0/24 action=drop
/interface wireless cap
set discovery-interface=ether1 interface=wlan1 caps-man-address=127.0.0.1 enabled=yes
/caps-man manager
set enabled=yes
/caps-man security
add name="OfficeGuest" authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk encryption=aes-ccm passphrase=123456
add name="OfficeNet" authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk encryption=aes-ccm passphrase=123456
/caps-man datapath
add name="OfficeGuest" bridge=OfficeGuest local-forwarding=no
add name="OfficeNet" bridge=OfficeNet local-forwarding=no
/caps-man configuration
add name="OfficeGuest" country="united kingdom" datapath=OfficeGuest security=OfficeGuest ssid="OfficeGuest"
add name="OfficeNet" country="united kingdom" datapath=OfficeNet security=OfficeNet ssid="OfficeNet"
/caps-man provisioning
add action=create-dynamic-enabled master-configuration=OfficeNet slave-configuration=OfficeGuest name-format=prefix-identity

I have also used

/caps-man channel
add name=capsman-channel-list-2GHz control-channel-width=20mhz extension-channel=disabled frequency=2412,2417,2422,2427,2432,2437,2442,2447,2452,2457,2462
/caps-man configuration
add name="OfficeGuest" country="united kingdom" datapath=OfficeGuest security=OfficeGuest ssid="OfficeGuest" channel=capsman-channel-list-2GHz
add name="OfficeNet" country="united kingdom" datapath=OfficeNet security=OfficeNet ssid="OfficeNet" channel=capsman-channel-list-2GHz
/caps-man access-list
add action=accept interface=all signal-range=-80..120
add action=reject interface=all signal-range=-120..-81

But in this instance I have removed them.

Thanks,

Dave Gaskell

I have an update on this problem - I have found that I can duplicate the problem without capsman and on new out of the box units.

I can fix it by changing the WiFi band and channel width to something other than the correct settings - save and then back again.

Sometime I repeat the process up to 5 times before I can get a 100% signal.

Re: CAPsMAN - WiFi keeps dropping [Resolved]

Now resolved - I moved the CAPsMAN manager to a hAP lite RB941-2nd-TC.

This did not work either.

It has been resolved see - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=132504&p=651127#p651127 for the answer
