Please excuse me for the long post.
I've had this Mikrotik Hap AC2 for a while now running as a wireless router. It has been running like a champ for a couple of years to the point where I didn't have to touch it. Recently, I upgraded the router to a proxmox+pfsense combo and the mikrotik was retired.. until recently.
As a result of the change to proxmox/pfsense, the wifi range provided by my ubiquiti U6-LR, located at the rear of the house, could not provide coverage to the front of the house that was previously covered by Mikrotik. So I decided to repurpose the Mikrotik as a wireless AP.
I attempted the following setup:
1. Ether1 as trunk port to pfsense appliance
2. Ether2 as VLAN1
3. Ether3 as VLAN10
4. Ether4 as VLAN11
5. Ether4 as VLAN12
6. SSID Delta on 2.4Ghz serving VLAN12
7. SSID Zulu_5G on 5Ghz serving VLAN1
8. Virtual SSID Delta_5G on 5Ghz serving VLAN12
The reason for the weird wireless setup is that I have an IOT device that can only operate on the 2.4Ghz - hence Delta. I have other IOT devices that I put on Delta_5G because when they were on the 2.4Ghz, everytime the microwave was turned on, they would drop connection.
I had everything setup and working but I have noticed that my android phone and windows laptop would sometimes not connect to Zulu_5G. It would try to obtain an IP address but ultimately fail. Both the U6-LR and Mikrotik have Zulu_5G as an SSID on the same VLAN. So when I move to the back of the house, the phone and laptop connect instantly, but when I move to the front and it goes out of range of the U6, it tries to connect to the Mikrotik and fails. Both the phone and laptop were connecting to the Mikrotik under Zulu_5G when I completed the setup. I only noticed this problem when I move out of range and back in range of the Mikrotik.
Here's my config:I don't know what is going on with Zulu_5G. I think there is something wrong with the way I've set it up but I don't know what. Anybody have any ideas?
