Hello
i have hEX s with bridge on all ports 2-5 having on the ether5 connected hAP ac2 with bridge as well on all ports (poe in on ether1)
i tried to setup a dhcp on the bridge1 interface but it doesn't get an IP on the interface.
i could access hAP ac2 with webfix only once I have ip on ether1
what do i miss?
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Post config export of hap ac2.

@Shy, read answers to your other topics. The information can be found easily (in the optional configuration step):

thank you
found what was missing on my bridge on hap ac2
On bridge, change to protocol-mode=none. The default is RSTP.

Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Why so many bridges?
Why this:

I don't get it: you do want it to get ip by dhcp, or you don't?

I dont know why too many i wonder myself i think it was the intial setup... i didnt create them myselfWhy so many bridges?

i do want to get, i used winbox to see the conf but i didnt see the bridge filter rule..
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
the dhcp works on the bridge, when I use the webfig to change it to be using bridge on WISP AP it changes automatically to router and adds the ip of ether1
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
I don't know if it has anything to do with these bridges, but FYI: quickset can be used only for initial setup.
After you used it once or configured router manually you can never touch it again.
I mean literally NEVER.
And a piece of advice: better don't use it at all.

ok now i understood what it was creating so much bridges, i did cleanup , removed unnecessary IPs from ether1
changed to CAP and configured CapsMan on heXs
its just great
i learnt now how to configure bridge properly
10q so much for your help and advise
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
*Thumbs up* 
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Basically it didnt fix the way to change on wisp ap to bridge (it was just changed to cap) which i am not sure that i know what is the difference.
Is there any guideness to find out more about WISP ap mode?
I assume that to set cap for one device currently is less inportant now, when i will add more cAPs it will be needed.
Also i found some loops while configurd the Capsman the network is disappearing from time to time because of bridge loop detected
ether5: bridge port received packet with own address as source address (48:8f:5a:52:aa:86), probably loop

Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
You don't need "wisp ap mode" you need "cap mode".
If you want to find differences: reset to no config, try first, export, reset to no config, try second, export - you will have two configs that you can study in any text redactor.
Most likely loops are the result of adding cap interfaces to bridges on both sides, while you need to do it only on one side: either on caps, or on capsman.

Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
in my end I had issue with the wifi network was in the bridge, I needed to add bridge to LAN and WAN only on hAP ac2You don't need "wisp ap mode" you need "cap mode".

yes I want to understand which is preffere either "wisp ap mode" or cap mode
for now I wanted to study with capsman to know how can I build a roaming and add additional cAP in the future...
I think i will move back to "wisp ap" but I dont understand what the bridge mode in wisp ap means.
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Stop using quickset and start configuring the devices by hand.
Especially if you want to "study" something.

Ok so how do i switch between the modes?Stop using quickset and start configuring the devices by hand.

Update: the loop was because the wlan interface was in the bridge. I needed to set only LAN and WAN
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
That's what I told you.Update: the loop was because the wlan interface was in the bridge.
There is no such thing as "modes" outside of quickset.Ok so how do i switch between the modes?
Apart from "CAP mode" but that is not really the "mode" for the whole device, but rather just a configuration option.
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
I understand, so it just meters if i want to manage the wifi via caps or via dedicated device. I am looking what will be the best way to configure the wirless setings (like to avoid using b mode and to increase the 5ghz power) how do i do so in CapsMan
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
I think you'd better postpone the capsman for some time (not if it is essential in your situation in the first place), and start with learning how to write some basic config from scratch.
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Dont bring logic into the equation LOL.
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
For now capsman is stable since the bridge fix.
Tnx all
Also who can explain what is the differenxe between bridge and router mode on wisp ap?

Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
I guess:Also who can explain what is the differenxe between bridge and router mode on wisp ap?
Bridge: all ports in one LAN bridge, dhcp client on top.
Router: ether1 with dhcp client as WAN, all other ports in LAN bridge with dhcp-server on top.
Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
Tnx again!
I would also like to know since wisp ap has a more features way to use the ap as an ap and also as a router is it possible to connect the hAP ac^2 with usb lte and use it as another wan access?

Re: hAP ac2 as WISP AP cannot change to bridge
I thought hEX S was your main router?
Why not plug your modem in it?

Yes indeed, that's how i do it now
