Does any tool or method exist for easily connecting a radio inside a Miktrotik to a WPA2 network?

Does any tool or method exist for easily connecting a radio inside a Miktrotik to a WPA2 network?

Despite many attempts to create a "Security Profile" with the correct setting my Basebox 5 will not connect to a WPA2 network hosted by a UniFi AP. Everything else I have tried connects easily?

You can't do it from the Quick Set page. If you have to do it from the Quick Set page then you need to get a basebox 2 and put a 5 ghz card in it.

1. Create a Security Profile for your 2ghz CPE. Name, Mode=dynamic keys, Authentication types=WPA2 PSK, Unicast and Group Ciphers = AEC ccm & enter WPA2 Pre-shared Key for AP. Anytime you want to connect to a new AP you go to this security profile and change the key to the new key.
2. In the details windows of your CPE interface you need to find the Security Profile box and change the security profile to the WPA2 profile name you created. Click the apply button at the top before you leave the details window
3. After you have entered your WPA2 key click on the interface tab then the "Scanner" button.
4. Select your CPE interface and then click the Start button.
5. Find you desired AP in the list and click on it.
6. In the next window click the Connect button and you should connect
