I've deployed mikrotik AP's to customers in the past, its often the apple devices that have issues connecting to the MT's.

What channels do you have the AP's setup on?
*
1 AP is 2.4Ghz/5Ghz and one more is 5Ghz only. Just 2 to cover my house. As for the channels, 5Ghz is set to AX 80Mhz, no channels specified except to skip all DFS. 2Ghz is set to AX, 20Mhz, channels 1, 6 & 11.

So far I've no probs with my Apple devices (Mac minis, phones, laptops, HomePods & watches) with the above config. This current problem just started with macOS 15 and only for my MacBooks and Mac minis. iPhones, iPads & watches all OK.

Updated to macOS 15.0 on 2 x MacBook Airs and 1 x Mac mini and all unable to connect to Wifi. iPhones, iPads & HomePods updated to 18.0 are OK.

APs are hAP ax2 and hAP ax3 capsman managed by RB5009. All on latest stable 7.15.3.

Will troubleshoot tomorrow.

Update:
• Turned off FT (Fast Transition) and the Macs connect again. No idea whose fault it is.
• The Macs had no problem connecting to neighbour's wifi. One is Skyworth and the other one, I think, is DLink.

From Mikrotik forum and working for me too.

encryption=ccmp,gcmp,ccmp-256,gcmp-256 to encryption=ccmp,gcmp

Now working with FT enabled.

mhwee asked about VLAN config for VLAN400 in pm. I set mine long time ago so might not be the 100% correct way to do it. Better I post here for contributions from others. Mine was done mostly by googling & trial & error until it worked. sweat.gif His
config is sfp01 to Unifi, ether1 to LAN and ether8 to VOIP.

If using bridge for the vlans. It'll be something like this.

CODE
/interface vlan
add interface=sfp01 name=vlan400 vlan-id=400
add interface=sfp01 name=vlan500 vlan-id=500

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1
add name=bridge400

/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge400 ingress-filtering=no interface=vlan400
add bridge=bridge400 ingress-filtering=no interface=ether8


Something like that.

Can also use bridge vlan for this.

CODE
/interface bridge vlan
add bridge=bridge1 tagged=ether3-trunk1,bridge1 untagged=ether1,ether4,ether5,ether6,ether7,ether8,sfp-sfpplus1 vlan-ids=50
add bridge=bridge1 tagged=ether2-wan1,ether3-trunk1,bridge1 vlan-ids=600
add bridge=bridge1 tagged=ether2-wan1,bridge1 vlan-ids=500


where:
VLAN50 is local LAN traffic
ether2-wan1 is to unifi modem
ether3-trunk1 is a trunk for VLAN50 & VLAN600 to another part of the house.

The Mikrotik AI bot actually not bad. No need for setup guides already.

I use this prompt.

"Can you help me with a script to setup my internet connection?
My ISP gave me the following info:
Internet is using vlan 500.
IPTV is using vlan 600.
Connection is pppoe with username and password for authentication.
WAN ip is dynamic.
Router is acting as the gateway and firewall. I'd also like a basic set of firewall rules.
My mikrotik router has 5 ethernet ports and the ISP modem is connected to ethernet port 5 and the TV is connected to port 3. The remaining ports are connected to my LAN.
Please use bridge vlan filtering."

The generated script seems to be OK at a glance. If "Please use bridge vlan filtering." is left out, it will use the alternative way of vlan & bridges.
