CAPsMAN 5GHz data rates problem

Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:27 pm

Hi,

I have RB3011 UiAS-RM + multple cAP ac. Every device is running ROS 6.45.1.

Problem is when I configure CAPsMAN on RB3011 (192.168.2.1) and enable Wireless CAP on cAP (192.168.2.205). Connection establishes between controller and device and the device is configured automatically.

Here is the config of CAPsMAN
Code: Select all
# jul/15/2019 12:22:34 by RouterOS 6.45.1
# software id = SUKN-JHUB
#
# model = RouterBOARD 3011UiAS
# serial number = 8EED0ADD4261

As you can see I'm using configuration WOO5 for AC-capable radios. The network WOO5Staff is created succesfully on the cAP and I can be connected to the internet and LAN, exactly as I wanted.

Problem is that the DATA RATE on the connection is only 54Mbit. When I configure the radio on cAP separately (without CAPsMAN) I'm getting 866Mbit data rate.

Does anyone know where the problem is?

I would only keep one 5Ghz channel, like 36 for example.(for one AP setups)
Code: Select all
add band=5ghz-onlyac control-channel-width=20mhz extension-channel=eCee frequency=5200 \
    name=CH40 tx-power=3
Remove control-channel-width=20mhz extension-channel=eCee and tx-power=3
Code: Select all
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk comment=EnterRealmOfWOOWiFi encryption=tkip \
    name=security1 passphrase=EnterRealmOfWOOWiFi
Set encryption to aes ccm
In channel settings, remove country="czech republic" and installation=indoor

Most likely you are not configuring the AP in the same way as you are with capsman.

Hello,

As per 802.11 standard...
Code: Select all
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk comment=EnterRealmOfWOOWiFi encryption=tkip \
    name=security1 passphrase=EnterRealmOfWOOWiFi
tkip WILL limit you to 54Mbps, regardless of what else you have set up. Use different encryption.

Cheers,

AC
