WiFi and CAPsMAN Configuration
Last Updated: 2026-02-14 Purpose: Document WiFi network settings, CAPsMAN configuration, and device compatibility requirements
Network Overview
| SSID | Band | Purpose | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| XTRM | 5GHz | Primary network (fast devices) | M0stW4nt3d@home |
| XTRM2 | 2.4GHz | IoT/Legacy devices | M0stW4nt3d@IoT |
XTRM (5GHz) - wifi1
Target: Modern devices (phones, laptops, tablets)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| SSID | XTRM |
| Band | 5GHz |
| Mode | 802.11ax (WiFi 6) |
| Channel | Auto (DFS enabled) |
| Width | 80MHz |
| Security | WPA2-PSK + WPA3-PSK |
| Cipher | CCMP (AES) |
| 802.11r (FT) | Enabled |
| Password | M0stW4nt3d@home |
XTRM2 (2.4GHz) - wifi2
Target: IoT devices, legacy devices, smartwatches
CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Some devices (Tuya JMWZG1 gateway, Amazfit TREX3, iPad 2) require legacy settings:
| Setting | Value | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| SSID | XTRM2 | |
| Band | 2.4GHz | IoT compatibility |
| Mode | 802.11g | Legacy device support |
| Channel | 1 (2412 MHz) | Most compatible |
| Width | 20MHz | Required for old devices |
| Security | WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK | WPA needed for legacy |
| Cipher | TKIP + CCMP | TKIP required for old devices |
| 802.11r (FT) | Disabled | Causes issues with IoT |
| Password | M0stW4nt3d@IoT |
Devices Requiring WPA + TKIP
| Device | MAC Address | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roborock S7 Vacuum | B0:4A:39:3F:9A:14 | S7 | Requires WPA+TKIP |
| Amazfit TREX3 | TBD | Smartwatch | Requires WPA+TKIP |
| Tuya Smart Gateway | 38:1F:8D:04:6F:E4 | JMWZG1 | Requires WPA+TKIP |
| iPad 2 | TBD | A1395/A1396 | Legacy device |
RouterOS Commands for XTRM2
# Working configuration for legacy devices
/interface wifi set wifi2 \
channel.frequency=2412 \
channel.band=2ghz-g \
channel.width=20mhz \
security.authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk \
security.encryption=tkip,ccmp \
security.ft=no \
security.ft-over-ds=no \
security.passphrase="M0stW4nt3d@IoT"
Fallback (Maximum Compatibility)
If devices still can't connect, use WPA-only with TKIP-only:
/interface wifi set wifi2 \
security.authentication-types=wpa-psk \
security.encryption=tkip
CAPsMAN Configuration
Manager (HAP ax³ - 192.168.10.1)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Yes |
| Interfaces | bridge, vlan10-mgmt |
| Certificate | Auto-generated |
CAP Device (CAP XL ac - 192.168.10.2)
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| caps-man-addresses | 192.168.10.1 |
| certificate | request |
| RouterOS | 7.21.1 |
| SSH Port | 2222 |
| SSH | ssh -i ~/.ssh/mikrotik_key -p 2222 xtrm@192.168.10.2 |
Note: CAP was factory reset on 2026-02-13. CAPsMAN certificate was regenerated and CAP re-enrolled with certificate=request.
CAP Interfaces
| Interface | Radio | Band | SSID | Security | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cap-wifi1 | wifi1 | 2.4GHz | XTRM2 | WPA2-PSK, CCMP | Working |
| cap-wifi2 | wifi2 | 5GHz | XTRM | WPA2/WPA3-PSK | Working (Ch 5220, 20/40MHz) |
Note: cap-wifi1 uses cfg-xtrm2 but with WPA2+CCMP only (not WPA+TKIP like the local wifi2). Legacy IoT devices requiring TKIP will only work on HAP1's local wifi2.
WiFi Access List
Status: VLAN assignment via access list is not active (rolled back 2026-01-27). All entries use action=accept without VLAN ID. Devices get their VLAN via DHCP static leases on the bridge.
29 entries configured (MAC-based accept rules + 1 default catch-all):
| # | MAC | Device | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | AA:ED:8B:2A:40:F1 | Samsung S25 Ultra - Kaloyan | |
| 1 | 82:6D:FB:D9:E0:47 | MacBook Air - Nora | |
| 12 | CE:B8:11:EA:8D:55 | MacBook - Kaloyan | |
| 13 | BE:A7:95:87:19:4A | MacBook 5GHz - Kaloyan | |
| 27 | B8:27:EB:32:B2:13 | RecalBox RPi3 | VLAN 25 (Kids) |
| 28 | CC:5E:F8:D3:37:D3 | ASUS ROG Ally - Kaloyan | |
| 29 | (any) | Default - VLAN40 | Catch-all |

Troubleshooting
Device can see XTRM2 but can't connect
- Check security settings - device may need WPA (not WPA2)
- Check cipher - device may need TKIP (not CCMP/AES)
- Try 802.11g mode instead of 802.11n
- Use channel 1, 6, or 11
Device connects but disconnects immediately
- Check if 802.11r (Fast Transition) is disabled
- Check VLAN assignment - CAP clients need special rule
- Check channel width - use 20MHz for stability
CAP not connecting to CAPsMAN
- Check certificate - remove old cert and re-request
- Check firewall - ports 5246-5247 UDP must be open
- Check interface binding - CAPsMAN must listen on correct interface
