[MVMA] Mikrotik hAP Update

[John Westerkamp]

Hi,

Ever since I loaded the Babel version of the Mikrotik hAP ac lite firmware,
I have had all kinds of trouble with my hAP. Symptoms included very slow
response over the browser, dropping the WiFi connection again and again,
and uncertain connection status with neighboring nodes (even DtD nodes).

I reviewed some on-line help and checked the Syslog on the hAP and verified
that the hAP was indeed running out  of memory (the WiFi apparently really
eats up memory). Anyway, it looks like the regular hAP ac lite is
definitely showing its age with the new firmware. Note that I was also
running several service links and a tunnel on the hAP.

So, I went ahead and replaced the hAP ac lite with a new Mikrotik hAP ac3
and was amazed at the improvement. Everything is stable now and all the
connection issues are resolved. I am hoping this helps somebody else who
might be banging their head against a wall trying to figure out why their
hAP ac lite is acting up.

Thanks!

John
