Looks as if they are working hard on the wifiwave2, my AX lite is due to arrive next, so couldn’t have been timed better.
 
Yeah looks like they are pushing Hard in a lot of sections, I've ordered the cAP-ax and it arrives around the end of May.

May sounds good, which year?:D
I've never had a problem with supply so far, infact I got my hAPax² faster than expected. My order says around 67 days for the cAPax (as of today) and I'm in no rush so lets see when it turns up!

I have ordered the new hAP AX lite, some have just come into stock online . £43 for the WiFi router, £30 postage, tax and fees! Bloody Brexit.

How come you went with a 2.4g Only device

How come you went with a 2.4g Only device
It is replacing a hAP lite that is already in my network, the hAP lite just doesn't have enough processing power and ram to keep a Wireguard tunnel up without falling over every couple of days. My network is Unifi based but I like to tinker with Mikrotik for ***** and giggles.
 
I thought Mikrotik wanted to attract the comman folk "Home User" etc,etc.. Well I buy my shiny new hAPax² and decide I want to add another AP at some point,
but to my surprise if I add another access point the "fast roaming" function won't work. Am I reading this correctly. I need to buy 2 cAP's and control them using CAPsMAN.
So this means my hAPax² being a local client controlling a cAP won't be able to use fast roam between each other. Is this correct?
I might need to press the delete button!
 
I would assume you need to pick one of the devices as the CAPsMAN server and then point both APs (inc. the one in the hAP ax) at it.
 
The Local radio IE hAP ax2 isn't controlled by CAPsMAN if it's the server, only the cAP's controlled by CAPsMAN from the hAP ax2 will roam.
Thats the way I understand it to be, I could be wrong.
 
Fast roaming is a decade old technology that yiu should have turned off. It was a bodge and it’s completely unnecessary these days.

Just give all your access points the same SSID and your clients will switch access points based on the signal strength (RSSI) quite happily.
