hAP ac2 as bridge and CAP

Sat Apr 27, 2019 11:40 pm

Hi,

I have just installed CAPs in my house. All of them work fine. However, as there is separated house for guests, and there is no cable, I have installed there hAP ac2. Wlan1 (2GHz) works a station (client) and wlan2 (5GHz) as a CAP. I was wondering if there is any chance to somehow create virtual wlan that would also work as AP under 2GHz under CAPsMAN control? Is there any way to achieve that?

Thanks in advance.

I think that's only possible without capsman.

It's a simple story.

There is an AP (BaseBox2 - connected to CAPsMAN) working on 2 GHz.There is a station device (hAP ac2) that has 2 radios: 2 (wlan1) & 5 (wlan2) GHz. Wlan1 is working as a station connected to AP and wlan2 is configured as CAP. This allows to use only 5 GHz wifi in the extended area. I was wondering if there is any way to connect to AP on 2 GHz but in the same time extend wifi with 5 but also 2 GHz.

you can use a virtual wlan interface to be the AP. then add this interface to your LAN bridge
for example, now I add wlan5 as a AP while I am using wlan1 as station
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n disabled=no distance=indoors frequency=2462 frequency-mode=regulatory-domain installation=indoor mode=\
    station-bridge ssid=xxxxxxxxx wireless-protocol=802.11

  add disabled=no keepalive-frames=disabled mac-address=xxxxxxxxx master-interface=wlan1 max-station-count=20 multicast-buffering=disabled name=wlan5 \
    security-profile=guest1 ssid=guest wds-cost-range=0 wds-default-cost=0 wps-mode=disabled

I don't think I can use virtual wlan and CAP configuration together.

Sorry without a diagram I am not experienced enough to have a clue about what your setup looks like just from your short text.
