Standalone wireless on Mikrotik is bad. CapsMan is even worse as it seems to hobble some of the standalone settings. Mikrotik are good at engineering routers but bad at engineering Wifi drivers.
I tried every which way to get Mikrotik wifi to work well, at reasonable speed, without dropping packets when roaming. No dice.
Now I have three HAP AC running OpenWRT, connected to a CCR for switching and a HEX S for routing, the latter two still running RouterOS 6. 5 VLANs, PoE, queues, several forwarded services, Solid as a rock.
(I've said it now... massive network wobble likely on the way).
