CAPsMAN Channel Planning with Non-Overlapping Frequency
MikroTik CAPsMAN is an excellent application for managing multiple CAPs (Controlled Access Point) in a Wireless Network. But multiple APs create frequency overlapping issue if channels are not configured properly. Channel overlapping is required for smooth connection while roaming but there should not be frequency overlapping because frequency overlapping makes wireless performance so poor. In my previous article, I discussed MikroTik CAPsMAN basic configuration with default channel configuration. In this article, I will discuss how to configure CAPsMAN channel to avoid frequency overlapping. Non Overlapping Channels One of my previous articles on WiFi Frequency Band and Channel Width showed the available non overlapping channels in 2.4 GHz Band. There are five non overlapping channel sets on 20MHz channel width in 2.4 GHz frequency but globally 1, 6 and 11 channel set is usually used. The middle frequency of these channels is given in the following table: Channel Number Middle Frequency 1 2412 6 2437 11 2462 In a multi WiFi AP network, the coverage of WiFi AP must be overlap for smooth connection but frequency overlapping must be avoided. So, we have to plan properly for designing a multi WiFi AP network. A possible multi WiFi AP network where there [...]

MikroTik WiFi Frequency Band and Channel Width Explanation | January 10, 2020
MikroTik WiFi frequency, band and channel width tuning is an important task in any wireless network. If we fail to setup WiFi frequency and channel width parameter properly, we will notice a poor performance of wireless network. WiFi is aimed at use within unlicensed spectrum and the unlicensed spectrum that is usually used for WiFi is 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands have multiple channels and these channels must be setup properly to get [...]

MikroTik Site to Site VPN Configuration with IPsec | March 8, 2018
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that provides a secure and encrypted tunnel across a public network. A private network user can send and receive data to any remote private network using this VPN Tunnel as if his/her network device was directly connected to that private network. Site to Site VPN technique establishes a secure tunnel between two routers across public network and local networks of these routers can send and receive data through this VPN tunnel. MikroTik RouterOS [...]

How to Bind Hotspot User to MAC and Static IP in MikroTik | November 6, 2020
MikroTik Hotspot is usually a user based Hotspot access controlling system. Internet access and bandwidth can easily be maintained with Hotspot user based system. But sometimes we may require more control on Hotspot system which is not possible only username based system. So, we may need to bind hotspot user to MAC and static IP address. If we can bind hotspot user to static IP address, it is easy to control Hotspot users with MikroTik Router and Firewall. So, in [...]

MikroTik Router Static DHCP Server Configuration | October 25, 2015
DHCP Server assigns IP address and other related IP information (Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS) automatically to network devices. But automatic DHCP Server has some disadvantages too. If any IP device connects to any automatic DHCP network, the device will get an IP address and related IP information automatically by the DHCP Server and the device will start to use resources of this network. In this situation, the network administrator cannot know who is being connected to the network and [...]
