ax series lineup WiFi issues

maigonis · Sun May 14, 2023 2:52 pm

I see quite a lot issues reported in forums about ax lineup WiFi issues, lets collect them here whit possible workarounds and fixes.

I have notices these issues:

1.大部分已知的“拒绝,找不到PMKSA”。It affects my Samsung S22 the most, but I have also seen it affecting S10+ and my laptop whit Intel AX210 WNIC. This should be WPA3 related, if you disable it and use WPA2 only this issue should go away.

2. "association SA Query timed out" - it is 802.11w Protected Management Frame related. Looks like it started when i turned on FT (Fast BSS Transition (802.11r)).

Please don't post about slow WiFi speeds, that's another story, post only issues that make WiFi unstable or otherwise are software or hardware related.

Here's mine. Been meaning to send support an email and supout but keep forgetting to generate it. Gonna do that the next time it dies.

I have had very few "can't find PMKSA" errors. It's always "key handshake timeout" when the wifi hangs.

I disabled WPA2 and for now I'm only using WPA3 on ax2, and for now it's working without any problem, uptime 5d 6h. I was getting PMKSA errors only when WPA2/WPA3 was selected. I'm running 7.10beta5

I bought my routers before cap ax was released... So now there is no chance to explain my wife that we need yet another APs...

I was thinking about setting up capsman but i don't have third device that should act as controller... And that is just another layer of complexity... And just for roaming...

Wed May 17, 2023 10:27 pm

AX, AX2, AX3 and cAP AX can all be used as controller, even for their own radios.

Is it worth the trouble for just 2 AP ?

Topic related, two PMKSA errors for 2.4 GHz on ax2 after almost 6 days but wifi is still working, it didn't crash or anything.

Interfaces crashed? Like ax2 reported? Or device itself? autosup should be created if device crashes.

Certainly not.

I do use capsman at home for 2 APs, its a learning opportunity.

Thu May 18, 2023 12:00 pm

Oh but for learning there is no problem.
It's just not needed. I have AX2 and AX3 at home, no capsman.

I have toyed with it too (briefly) to see differences with legacy capsman (I used to have a setup with that for another place) but some of the quirks need to be ironed out before I will try it again.
Or is VLAN handling for ether-ports now sorted out properly ?
Last time I tried it, all VLAN handling needed to be disabled on AP-bridge, hence also for ether-ports.

gigabyte091 · Thu May 18, 2023 12:06 pm

Yea, i was thinking about that, just to try it, I saw some default configutations on Mikrotik wiki.

Sooo... I ordered two cAP ax... you know... for when drivers get even better...

I never had issues whit VLANs in general, but I did had issue whit interface dynamic add to bridge (so I did it manually). As I revisited config its now working as it should, but system is not perfect. Maybe I don't know how to do it the right way, but now, afaik, I have to tag interface in capsman interface list and on AP datapath. By logic I understand that server does not know APs datapaths, so this have to be set manually per AP, but vlan tagging should be passed from server, only server side configuration required.

When its wifi dies, the ax3 is still running. Switch, ethernet and containers all ok. Just that nothing connects to the wifi anymore. Logs show “handshake key timeout” whenever any device tries to connect. Nothing in the registration table. For both 2.4 and 5Ghz.

gigabyte091 · Thu May 18, 2023 7:09 pm

Does enable/disable of the interfaces helps ? Or you have to reboot the router ?

What does wifi scan app say? Aka, beacons are fine? Anyone tried sniff WiFi interface and station to see what frames are there?

Only reboot does the trick. Enable/disable no go.

I had that problem on ROS 7.8, but that is gone on 7.10beta5

Thu May 18, 2023 9:55 pm

I had that problem on ROS 7.8, but that is gone on 7.10beta5

Using WPA3 ? That was the killer for me on 7.10b5.

gigabyte091 · Thu May 18, 2023 10:32 pm

WPA2/WPA3 combo and WPA3 only. On 7.10beta5 i'm using only WPA3 and there are no problems at all. That is why i ordered cap ax, wifi on mikrotik, at least for me, is starting to work like it should and ax2 is needed elsewhere.

I'm still thinking about trying capsman but i don't know, multiple ssid, vlans etc... Only real benefit is roaming... but that i plan to solve by reducing tx power and using ACL. That seems to me like a much easier approach.

At my parents house is ax2, on ROS 7.8 and i leave only WPA2, older phones and i didn't want to risk potential problems with wifi

soonwai · Fri May 19, 2023 1:39 pm

ax3 wifi gone again. same old, same old, tons of "key handshake timeout"
19 May 9:16am. ax3 7.10beta5. Wifi uptime: 1 days 1 hr.

gigabyte091 · Fri May 19, 2023 2:27 pm

Try only WPA2 or WPA3.

Little update:

I recieved my 2 cap ax, those things are huge... My old cap ac looks like a shirt button when compared to cap ax

Little update:

So WPA3 only, phone connects to 5 GHz, but 573 MHz speed only (channel width 80 MHz) and laptop connects to 2.4 GHz, no error for now. For comparison, on ax 2, same settings phone and laptop connects to 5 GHz no problem.

EDIT: It was my stupidity... I forgot to set country... now all devices connects to 5GHz and full speed, no errors.

ajmxco · Fri May 19, 2023 5:42 pm

Ever since the 7.9 upgrade I'm have this exact same problem and am having to reboot every couple days. I opened a support request and provided my supout.rif file.

Quickly loosing patient with this problem, hopefully they'll fix it soon, and will return the product if I have to keep rebooting it for another week.

By default TX power is at maximum ? Right now I have only one cAP ax operational, another one is in the box.

I think that next weekend i will replace U6 lite with cap ax, i think that wifi is now stable enough for me. Only, i will have to leave WPA2 so my wife can connect to wifi with her laptop

Switching from 5 to 2.4 GHz works, i tested that today, no problems or errors in logs.

Still rebooting everyday and I have WPA3 disabled. Before the 7.9 upgrade everything worked great.

No response from Mikrotik support on my support ticket.

Would installing the 7.10 beta help?

Glad to here it all seems to be working out for you. I have my cAP ax (wpa2/wpa3 5G&2.4G V-7.10) upstairs and hAP ax (wpa2 2.4G V-7.9) in my living room. when I walk in the house from the Kitchen my phone connects to the 2.4G cAP ax upstairs if I then walk upstairs it switches over to 5G, if I then walk back into my living room my phone will then move to the hAP ax. So all good.
Stability is the best it's been so far in this product line!

我有一个问题我hAP ax,以前只是reboot itself for no reason. It turns out that the power socket/switch is faulty. I've ordered a new socket and will fit it in due course. In the mean-time I'm using the PoE Injector that was provided with the cAP ax for power. So just a little food for thought to waggle and check the power socket.

@ajmxco

You should try 7.10b5, it's much more stable WiFi, i try it on ax3, ax2, cap ax and i have much better wifi experience than 7.9

@ToTheFull

Same here but with my previous setup with ax3 and ax2 i decreased TX power on ax2 downstairs so my devices connects to the upstairs ap once i move to rooms upstairs. And that worked quite good, a little bit of testing was needed ofc and i didn't need to use acl or capsman, it was "redneck roaming" haha.

I think it's a driver crashing problem too and was hoping the 7.10b5 would fix it with the release note item mentioning "key handshake timeout". I updated my support ticket that this beta version didn't fix the problem.

I'll keep this forum post updated this week with my journey to get this fixed with support, if they help me.

PeterXC · Sun May 21, 2023 3:36 pm

I installed the 7.10b5 + firmware and it lasted a few hours before showing the "key handshake timeout" errors again so I had to reboot it.

I have a router that needs rebooting 1-2 a day and a support ticket with zero response from Mikrotik. Ridiculous...

I'll process a refund on the device this week if Mikrotik support ghosts me.

Have you tried to reset to factory defaults and manually configure it?
I had a similar issue: WiFi outage and errors after the SW upgrade. In my case, it helped.

No errors in logs. Still, the WiFi stability is not perfect. I have a ping probe to one of my IOT devices, and I can see it loses connectivity almost every day.

I tried to enable WPA2/WPA3 but as soon as I did that i get PMKSA error... Only WPA2 or WPA3 no problems on ax2 and cap ax so i'm waiting for another update...

ajmxco · Mon May 22, 2023 4:39 pm

Would downloading the 7.8 bits and downgrading solve this problem for the HAP ax2 until this getting resolved? Has this worked for anyone?

nonolk · Mon May 22, 2023 4:50 pm

@ajmxco, Yes it works fine for me on 3 (ax2 and one ax lite), I have 20 days of connection time for some of my devices without major issues.

So at least for now and if you are not using the ax2 as router (or without ipv6) this is a viable workaround.

Best regards,

@nonolk - thanks for the link and I'll downgrade later today and report back with the results to this forum thread.

ajmxco · Mon May 22, 2023 7:20 pm

After downgrading to 7.8 + firmware, the wireless interfaces no longer showed up in winbox so I factory reset the unit. This still didn't fix the missing wireless interfaces.

I upgraded to 7.9.1 + firmware and the wireless interfaces are still missing so now I'm in a worse state of affairs. Wow this is crazy...

I'll update the support ticket with my new problem now and include the support.rif file.

Mon May 22, 2023 7:24 pm

Manual downgrade ?
Most likely you forgot wifiwave2 package.

Care to try again ?

Thanks for the tip and, after reading through some of the documentation and learning how to install packages, I'm back to 7.8 with wireless working again. I'll let this bake and see what happens...

gigabyte091 · Mon May 22, 2023 9:40 pm

Meh, 7.9.1 is only security update, no real change for now...

ajmxco · Tue May 23, 2023 4:42 pm

Update - no issues since downgrading to 7.8 and support contacted me with an alpha release of 7.10 past b5 that might fix the problem. I hesitant to try this because I need stable wifi for the work week so maybe this weekend.

This issue is tricky. In my case, it was stable for 17 days and today it got back

Both WiFi were not accepting any clients. I had some time, so I tried to troubleshoot: I disabled WiFi for a while, disabled the security profile and also enabled debug on WiFi, but no luck. No obvious errors besides authentication.

升级到7.9.1 ROS和RouterBoard。ios版雷竞技官网入口我希望它will be stable. One more outage and I'm switching back to old AC Asus.

I installed a hAP ax³ late last week and upgraded it to 7.9.1. Last night, the SSIDs were suddenly no longer visible to clients and the indicator light for wireless activity was off on the device itself. Disabling and re-enabling the interfaces brought it back to life, but I saw no errors in the system log (i.e., no timeouts under the wireless topic). I didn’t have this problem with my ac³, but I also wasn’t using the WifiWave2 package on it.

Does not seeing errors but still experiencing what appears to be a driver crash match anyone else’s experience?

You should not get PMKSA errors, as it is WPA3 related. WPA2 does not have PMKSA.

7.10alpha237 worked great w/o a reboot for a couple weeks then yesterday the "handshake timeout" errors came back, the wireless clients couldn't connect, and I had to reboot again. I updated my support ticket and included the support file.

I'm not going back to 7.8 since 7.10alpha237 lasted for a couple weeks and that's fine with me; for now.

Support did say they've been able to re-create this issue on their end so that's good news.

Updated ROS to 7.10 stable, little bit of PMKSA errors at the beginning, after DFS check I needed to disable and enable wifi on phone and laptop because they didn't want to connect to 5 GHz WiFi.

Now we wait for another error, this one i will discard as router just booted up.

Same problem just happened again today after being stable for a couple weeks. Rebooting fixed the problem. Very strange indeed...

For my setup, I've managed to find a pattern that might be legit. I've noticed that for versions greater than 7.8, when a couple Apple wireless devices (iphone, laptop, watch) connect this problem returns. When there are no Apple wireless devices connected, this problem doesn't happen. I'm not 100% sure about this but I'll continue monitoring.

Unfortunately we all depend on Mikrotik to solve this issue with firmware updates and it's a shame to see people like you that bought Mikrotik's AP and then they have problem with that.

I myself have two Ubiquiti U6 Lite AP as I was forced to buy them because ax2 and ax3 failed at providing me with stable WiFi and they are miles away from Mikrotik ax devices for now...

Only advice right now for you is just what you said, buy new AP because right now i think that drivers won't be stable in some short time.

如。现在我有一个问题,我的电话没有反对necting to 5 GHz WiFi while i didn't have that problem with 7.10rc1

antonvovk · Mon Jun 19, 2023 8:18 pm

Recently I have updated to 7.10 Stable hoping that the problem would finally be fixed because it was mentioned in the changelog.

wifiwave2 - fixed key handshake timeout with re-associating clients;

Sadly the problem is still there and it looks like it occurs even more frequently than in 7.9.

I had to roll back to 7.8 again

应用程序lied to AX2 and AX3.
So far no issues seen.

gigabyte091 · Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:15 pm

Tested on cAP ax, ax2, ax3 with several phones and laptops.

Running default config, only thing changed is country and cAP ax is in bridge mode, no router function, channel and frequency is set to auto (I had this manually set but i want to see how will mikrotik handle it on auto).

Before connecting devices to WiFi i forget network on all devices, just in case they maybe remembered wifi1 as unstable interface and i waited for DFS check to be over.

All devices connects to wifi1 (5 GHz) no problem and I didn't get PMKSA error like on 7.10 stable.

I'm glad and I think it's a good thing Mikrotik decided to release this alpha version to us for testing.

ToTheFull · Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:47 pm

I'm testing the hAP ax with no changes at all. 5 hour uptime all devices, no devices dropped or giving errors so far so very positive today.
I didn't want to jump in and say it's all good but I feel it needs a mention for anybody thinking of testing on a hAP ax2 I would be happy to say go ahead.
Ok so I know @maigonis didn't want us to mention speed but I'm seeing an imbalance TX vs RX rates... anybody else?

Yes manually set just to check what I was using like for like. I'm updating the cAP ax tomorrow if the hAP ax2 keeps behaving itself.
pretty impresed so far, I will then start testing auto and the dreaded radar frequencies to see how that goes now!

off to watch film...

I will setup ax2 tomorrow along with cAP ax and some devices will connect to ax2 some to cAP ax, it's not ideal as they are 1 meter apart... But for testing it will be fine, i will manually assign channels.

Slowwly been moving around using Auto which has just kept moving me down in frequency to my delight. The reason I fixed the frequecy previously was because being kicked all over the place due to radar detection, we live on a big hill. Glad to say that now for some reason seems far better.

Hello!

Just my report.
I have same issues with key handshake timeout since (probably) 7.9
After upgrade to 7.10 this issue became annoying: I had to reboot router something between 10 minutes and 12 hours.
Today I gave up and downgraded to 7.8, will report how it goes.

Update: almost forgot. I also had to switch from WPA3 to WPA2 to make it work, but I did it on 7.10, not sure if WPA3 is broken in 7.8

gigabyte091 · Mon Jun 26, 2023 6:26 am

Compared to what ? On my tests ax2 performed better than U6 Lite. And I'm not biased, I switched to Ubiquiti because Mikrotik wireless had a lot of problems back then...

7.11 stable could be "the one", no problems so far, everything is working like a charm(knock, knock, knock so i don't jinx it)

I totally agree BUT did anyone manage to get VLAN Slave interfaces (for guest wifi) up an running via capsman?

If I set the VLAN tag in the capsman configuration it is NOT passed to the cap interface and therefore this is not dynamicly added to the tagged vlan of the caps bridge.

local interfaces without capsman work fine this way…

FurfangosFrigyes · Mon Jun 26, 2023 8:48 am

I add the guest interface to the bridge manually and set up the VLAN. It is not a nice solution. If i change anything on CAPSMAN side the name of the slave interface will be changed on the CAP and i have to reboot the CAP to restore the interface name/numbering otherwise the bridge config will be failed.

gigabyte091 · Mon Jun 26, 2023 10:37 am

Only reason I'm thinking about CAPsMAN is roaming... but i think i will skip it, to much trouble for 2 AP

Rox169 · Mon Jun 26, 2023 10:44 am

If ROS is working there is no much trouble with capsman. I have it for two AP too

Roaming is soooo awesome! I have 3 CAP an CAPsMAN running on my 1100ahx4… Found out: running CAPsMAN on a CAP seems not so to be a bright idea.

I will try it your way unless this is fixed.

You can select and add ALL dynamic interfaces into the bridge. Then, when new/changed guest intrface is created, it is added automaticaly to the bridnge.

I do not want to do it automatically!

I still have ocassional wifi drop every few days but this time nothing in the log, it just says client disconnected.
It's on latest beta 7.11.

After reboot everything works again, On 7.8 there is no problem, everything is smooth.

Kitsok · Mon Jun 26, 2023 4:59 pm

Hello!

Just my report.
I have same issues with key handshake timeout since (probably) 7.9
After upgrade to 7.10 this issue became annoying: I had to reboot router something between 10 minutes and 12 hours.
Today I gave up and downgraded to 7.8, will report how it goes.

Okay. It failed on 7.8 after some time. There are "key handshake timeout" in log and >20% CPU utilization.
I've disabled 80MHz channel width (20/40 now on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz), enabled FT, disabled WPA3 (now on WPA2) and upgraded to 7.11b2.

It worked for more than 24 hours, but now it failed again, so I gave up and added a reboot script to be ran every 10 minutes on the home server.
It should be installed onto Mikrotik itself, but I'm not good at writing scripts for MT.

#!/bin/bash REBOOT_CMD="/system/reboot" MT_HOST="main_router" MT_USER="secretuser" MT_PORT=123456 LOG_LIMIT=20 DEBUG=true log() { local ts=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M) [ "$DEBUG" = "true" ] && echo $ts : $@ logger -t "check_mikrotik" "$@" } num_syslog=$(cat /var/log/syslog | grep wireless,debug | tail -100 | grep "key handshake" | wc -l) log "num_syslog=$num_syslog limit:$LOG_LIMIT" [ $num_syslog -gt $LOG_LIMIT ] && log "Limit exceeded, rebooting" && ssh -p $MT_PORT ${MT_USER}@${MT_HOST} $REBOOT_CMD

Rox169 · Mon Jun 26, 2023 11:09 pm

what failed again? Did you send supout? If my router restart every 10 minutes it would make me crazy..better to insall 7.8

sudanking · Tue Jun 27, 2023 6:46 am

I have to reboot my hAP ax3 every hour to fix wifi problem....I get back to 7.8

Rox169 · Tue Jun 27, 2023 7:44 am

what problem? there are more problems...did you send supout to MT?

Devices started to reconnect, key handshake timeout messages started to fill log. It wasn't after 10 minutes, at least now I see devices that connected 8.5 hours ago and still up.

I have tried 7.8 and faced the same issue.

Update: I've also noticed that enabled 80MHz on 5GHz increases the instability (reduces time between fails).
Another observation is that Apple devices (iPhone and MacBook) stayed connected while Android phones and my Linux notebook failed to connect (with "key handshake timeout" diagnostics in wireless debug log).

PeterXC · Tue Jun 27, 2023 10:55 pm

它looks like they finally fixed it in 7.10

Rox169 · Tue Jun 27, 2023 11:22 pm

no, not even in 7.11

dewitpj · Wed Jun 28, 2023 12:08 am

Yip, Same here - still have to reboot quite often to get Wifi to work...

Kitsok · Wed Jun 28, 2023 12:30 am

I will able to confirm or refute it tomorrow, but looks like access list is causing wifi driver to fail with "key handshake timeout". Will report.

没有帮助。正常运行时间提高到8小时,但后来它failed again.

I have no access lists and it's broken

epkulse · Thu Jun 29, 2023 1:22 pm

I had the failure with "key handshake timeout" again today, 2 nd time in roughly a week. I run CAPSMAN wifiwave2 with 2 HAP-AX3 and 1 HAP-AX2. Suddenly one HAP-AX3 refused connection on 5GHz. However, I was still able to connect to 2,4 GHz on the same CAP, where I use WPA/WPA2 security only due to old devices. Tried to disable/enable 5G-wifi, no luck. Changed from WPA2/3 to WPA/WPA2 on 5 G, no luck. Changed to AC-only on 5G, no luck. Eventually rebooted this CAP, woks fine again.
Ticket raised with supout to support...

Rox169 · Thu Jun 29, 2023 1:29 pm

on which version of ROS? 7.10 or 7.11beta?

epkulse · Thu Jun 29, 2023 1:42 pm

Sorry - 7.11 Beta 2...

gigabyte091 · Thu Jun 29, 2023 9:55 pm

Interesting... I will try CAPsMAN this weekend, RB4011 as controller, 2 cap ax as CAPs, no VLANs, basic for now, just to see if it will be stable. For now i don't have any problems.

Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:11 pm

I have a setup with RB5009 as capsman server, 2 cAP AX and 1 AX3 running for quite a while (11 days and counting).
No VLANs for now.
All on 7.10.

Apart from 1 SW update (otherwise it would be over 20 days already), no hickups whatsoever.
There is even a network enabled machine connected for over 8 days straight, no problems with it.

Only noticeable entries I see in log are related to devices coming in and devices going out of range.
No deauth errors, no PMKSA errors, nada.

gigabyte091 · Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:42 pm

Sooo, maybe I retire U6 Lite soon and go back to Mikrotik wireless again. I don't see any errors in logs whatsoever.

I mean, im running basic setup but i don't see reason the reason wifi will not work with vlans.
