Hi.
i am having an issue with my capsman config.
i am running one ssid on both 2.4 and 5ghz.
i have on 2,4 ghz in the caps config tab the freq 2412 and 2462 and this works. but on 5ghz not. when i put different freq in.

google does provide me with a helpful answer.

any helpful hints

What exactly does not work?
Give more details ...

Per radio you can have a single frequency (or a list of frequencies that the device chooses from). It is not possible to use multiple frequencies on a single radio.

It is not possible to use multiple frequencies on a single radio.

A single radio can't use more than one frequencies anyways... (except on 5GHz, when using the secondary frequency feature for 160MHz channels)

The AP will only choose 1 frequency to use...
So even if you put multiple frequencies in the List, only 1 will be chosen...

What model of WiFI devices are you controlling?
Show us the CAPsMAN config please.

hi guys.
apperently i did not recieved a email when you guys replied.
problem solved

it's working perfectly.

i will use provision on the mac adres => every AP has it own config with the channels config in it.


Thanks.

What exactly did you solve?
As stated in my earlier post, even if you put 2 or 3 frequencies in the List, only 1 will be used...
Even if you configure different frequencies, on slave configuration for example, only the frequency in the master configuration will be used...

You can check that with a wifi analyzer....

i made different configs for every AP radio with different channels.

i have 2 dual band ap units. => 4 configs.

provision rule for every radio macadres

i checked it with a wifi analyser and this works.

i hope this makes any sense to you .

Sorry but you can't use different frequencies on the same radio Band...
Can you show the details from the Network analyzer ? As you re saying, you are using two frequencies for the 2.4 GHz at the same time, lets say 2412 and 2437 and two frequencies at the same time ( without the use of secondary frequency ) for the 5 GHz Band, lets say 5180 and 5200 or anything...

Wiki:
Virtual interfaces will always use the Master interface wireless frequency

Also from WiKi:
There are settings that are meaningful only for master interface, i.e. mainly hardware setup related settings such as radio channel settings

yes. i have 2 ap's
one ssid in the network.

ap 1 => 2412 and 5180
ap 2 => 2462 and 5875


i do NOT use 2 freq on one the same band at the same time .

Is it possible to set up the secondary frequency for a 160mhz channel on the wifi1 interface, then create two virtual SSID's that each use one of the 80mhz channels?
I'm thinking probably not, but I have to ask...

Is it possible to set up the secondary frequency for a 160mhz channel on the wifi1 interface, then create two virtual SSID's that each use one of the 80mhz channels?

No, it's single radio regardless the channel width. Virtual SSIDs operate over "master" channel, they can't have separate radio settings.
