Hi
Please help me understand what i am doing wrong...
Having hEX S as my router i wanted to connect hAP ac^2 as Access point manages by CapsMan
For the first step i just wanted to power up the ac^2 with the PoE.
When i am connected to the hAP ac^2 i don't have internet. Used the TikApp to configure with mac and i could suceed only once to reach the router web config and changed to CAp device. (HOW DO I SWITCH TO OTHER MODES WITHIN THE MIKROTIK APP)
Now when its on CAP i cannot get into the device to manage or either use the internet as stand a lone device.

Don't use the app, use Winbox for configuration.
Reset the device without default configuration and start from there. If you want an accesspoint:
Required
- create a bridge
- add all interfaces (LAN and WLAN) to the bridge (here your device will be unavailable for a short period)
- configure WLAN settings
Optional
- Add DHCP client to bridge
If you want it running as CAPsMAN, just reset it as a CAPsMAN managed device...that's it. The CAPsMAN server will handle all configuration.

Gladly, MikroTik has a very nice Wiki:
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:R ... set_button
After that. login with Winbox en perform:
System, Reset Configuration, check No Default Configuration (and press Reset Configuration)
After the second step, the hAP ac2 will have no configuration at all...

Finally i could make it work wheb webconfig was accessible on the bridge ip.

Upload is nuch higher rate than download.
