Get radio to Connect to closes MT AP

Fri Oct 04, 2019 2:13 am

How to have any wireless devices to connect to the closest Mikrotik Wireless access point when roaming etc.. like laptops moving around..
How can I accomplish this with capsman configuration + 3 Mikrotik WAPs; and I want them to try the 5ghz first before 2.4ghz; 2.4ghz should be last resort...?

Use the same SSID on all devices. It worked for me using 54 cAP AC.

Regards.

I am using the same SSID on all devices, they are all managed by capsman..

I need to decrease the signal strength for 2.4 so 5ghz is stronger and...;

MT hAP ac^2 is the caps manager device and everyone seems to always connect to that MT no matter if another MT is closer like the
RBcAPGi-5acD2nD
OR THE
RBSXTsqG-5acD

both are closer for my test devices but they always go after the hAP ac^2;; so what to do...
