MikroTik

Hi there,

I have 3 new hAP AC lites that I am hoping to daisy chain in my home network in order to extend the wireless network around a house.

I've been following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWWsz-8hV4 & I've managed to navigate Mikrotik's UI to register all three CAPs (including the one that runs the CapsManager) to one CapsManager running on hap1.

However as you can see from my video:

If if i connect hap3 via hap2, hap3 doesn't register. Can't I daisy chain along my APs?

I also can't seem to automatically register the wlan2 interface from the CAPs. I used the reset for 10s strategy on hap2 & hap3 btw to get them to connect as a CAP.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

What I have ended up doing, is setting up all three using the CAP mode quickset with identities "one", "two", and "three".

I liked this mode since I don't want NAT. I don't want to worry about assigning IP addresses since I want to use the existing dhcpd on my network. And this CAP mode appears to have all ports bridged. Effectively it's a "dumb AP".

I next setup CapsManager upon "one" and set the DHCP assigned (static) IP to "two" and "three". They weren't associating and after some googling, adjusting the firewall on "one" to accept 5246,5247, allows "two" and "three" to be managed by "one".

Only outstanding issue is that despite configured wireless CAP on "one" to look to localhost for the capsmanager, it doesn't seem to associate. Bizaare.
