      ... and multiple SSIDs in different VLANs, and roaming (802.11 r/k/v) among virtual APs at the same SSID.

    Thank you Deniss - now here is a more complex question (taking your previous video on frequencies into account).
    a) Do the different Caps take other Caps frequencies into account (avoid using the same fequencies by different Caps) or is this a manual planning effort?
    b) If i want to increase/decrease signal strenght - how do you do this properly? For example: i want to reuse 1 frequency but want to lower signal strength from the attic Cap so it does not interfere with the signal strength from the kitchen Cap.
    Thanks for any advise.

      You make Wifi Bridge and connect CAP somewhere on the other end. It works.

    Sadly the caps mode reset button hold never works for me, I have to go in and tell the device to reset its config to CAP. I wish you guys gave us an led notification that it's actually in Cap mode when doing the reset press. I never ever get anything past the blinking after the first 5 sec it goes back to blue. this has been on 15 cap ax devices in a row. but reset config to caps mode works 100% of the time.

    Great! But how can I change the name of the cap-wifi1 to identify the AP?

    • @FinlayDaG33k
      @FinlayDaG33k 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      In the provisioning tab change the "Name Format" field where "%I" can be used to change it based on the Identity (/system/identity) for the CAP.
      I have set it to "%I-2.4Ghz" (for the 2.4GHz radios) and "%I-5GHz" (for the 5GHz radios) so they show up as "FBIVan-2.4GHz", "FBI-Van2.4Ghz2" (cus we have 2 2.4GHz APs) and "FBIVan-5GHz".

    Hi, sorry for the question because I dont know much about networking. What is the difference then I make all ssid and passwords the same manually? can it act like the mesh network? transfer the user to the strongest access point by itself without user noticing it? or is it only, putting the same setting to all devices at the same time?

    • @AlfredsUlmanis
      @AlfredsUlmanis 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      IMHO the problem with the manual option you described is that the transitions between the networks will be less smooth as the client device will try to hold on to the connected AP for longer. With CAPsMAN it switches to the strongest AP sooner (or so I think).

    • @deineroehre
      @deineroehre 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Roaming works if centralized management via capsman is used. Single Access Points can't do that.

    Is there an easy way to send DHCP addresses on my cap Clients from specific pools per CAP? Then it is easy to identify which client is connected where. Or can I route different networks per CAP easily?
    10.10.1.0 for CAP 1, 10.10.2.0 for CAP 2 and use separate DHCP servers?
    For all others, please make a video for AX roaming topic - FT function. Nobody knows and it works great in my opinion.

    Now it's time for new home AX access point devices instead of old cAPs so that we don't have to use routers as APs (or the only cAP AX which is overkill for house coverage) 😏

    • @aliancemd
      @aliancemd 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Keep it realistic. RB5009 is not a WiFi device. 2.5G + 2xSFP+, matching one of the switches is more realistic but “Wifi7” + 5G + 100G port and all for free is the kind of thing nobody reasonable would deliver

    Yes, I tried everything, and this video is absolutely useless. It is better to explain to me, how to connect Cap Ax Ap to Hap Ax3 router without an ethernet cable. I need to expand my Wifi network in the house without wires, how in this case on Router OS 7.16+ set a wireless connection between the router and all Ap's using Capsman since WDS is no longer available on the latest updates.
    Share some guides or instructions of how to, cuz now all this capsman functionality looks weird
