Change the radio for AP on hap.
Did a quick search but couldn't find anything. 

hAP AC3 used as an AP only (no direct mesh RF connection), I would like to change the radio used for AP access (LAN) to AC. 

Currently the LAN AP radio only seems to be using the N radio.

Currently the LAN AP radio only seems to be using the N radio.

How do you determine this?
I think AREDN firmware operating as an Access Point only does 20 MHz bandwidth.
If true;
I think there is only 1 exclusive 802.11ac Modulation Coding Scheme, VHT MCS8, 256 QAM, TxMbps 156.0 LGI or 173.3 SGI.
How do you determine that your AP/Client (is, is not) attempting VHT MCS8 ?

My 802.11ac AREDN devices seem to be only using ODFM modulation.
My maximum TxMbps is 54 TxMbps. :-(

Not knowing how to actually
Not knowing how to actually check via CLI via SSA.  I'm limiting my knowledge to speed tests. As you can see there is something very wrong with the wifi AP speed test results. Even the LAN test is about half of my speed offered by my ISP  

If the LAN AP radio is set to AC, there is definitely something wrong with how the router manages traffic.

VE3KOD:
The Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS0 to MCS7) for 802.11n (HT) is 
identical to the MCS for 802.11ac (VHT).
802.11ac (VHT) has 1 additional MCS (MCS8) using QAM264.
My hAP-ac3 has two 5 GHz Wi-Fi connections:
A hAP-ac-lite and my mobile phone.
Currently both of those clients have the same MCS connections:
tx bitrate:    72.2 MBit/s MCS 7 short GI
rx bitrate:    72.2 MBit/s MCS 7 short GI
( I assume 1 spacial stream is used or the same content in 2 streams
 because there is no match to 72.2 MBits/s at any other MCS except at 1 stream.)
I tested with a ssh connection to the ac3 from my desktop workstation
(ssh -p2222 root@nc8q-hap-ac3)
then issuing the command:
iw wlan1 station dump
Until you see a bitrate of 156.0 or 173.3 is no difference between
802.11n and 802.11ac modulation coding (at 20 MHz band width).

So, what connection speed is your hAP-ac3 reporting?

Thanks for replying Chuck

Thanks for replying Chuck.

I must be doing something incorrect.. When i issue the command iw wlan1 station dump as you asked, there is no data being returned (see screenshot). 
I need the AP on 2Ghz for now, I have a rPI in the attic for ADSB and it's connected to the hAP. 

issuing iw wlan0 station dump:

A few more notes, this is the same thing that is happening on two AC3's both of which started their lives with RouterOS 7.x. I took the PCB out of one of them to take some photos of the board incase anyone needs to see them to compare if something changed. 

73 - Appreciate your assistance.

I said::You typed
I said
iw wlan0 station dump. You entered:
iw wlan1 station dump

Sorry I must have

Sorry I must have misunderstood you, I assumed by you entering the command into your ac3... I would have to enter the same command.. (see screenshot of your reply below).

My bad, Sorry ( my Canadian coming out)..

Anyways.. I'm not sure what the way ahead is. Obviously there has been a change in something, maybe hardware or bootloader? for the ac3's with routerosV7x to behave like this compared to the routerosV6x... 

I'm not the only person reporting this issue either.. others in this forum are and github AND openwrt... 

Regret selling my acLite now HAHA.. 

Anyways, I appreciate your assistance Chuck

Ooopps, my bad, too

Hi, Jesse:
I got confused about which band you were using in your path to your internet speed tests.
I think wlan0 is the 2.4 GHz radio and
wlan1 is the 5 GHz radio.

I am ignorant about RouterOS and mostly ignorant about OpenWRT.
Typically when I receive an AREDN compatible device
its 1st power up is into TFTP mode then an AREDN firmware load.

No ... it's all good Chuck -
No ... it's all good Chuck - I really do appreciate your help and I am the same way with AREDN equipment so far.. The developers have done a marvelous job for us non-tech types that want to dabble, I'm not sure where to go from here though. No real way to submit a ticket, didn't receive any replies to my github post so I guess it's just status quo until more people purchase the ac3 and the voice becomes louder :) 

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!

I have tried flashing
I have tried flashing OopenWRT on my spare and managed to get it to work but no wlan devices are present. Looks like I need to add some drivers to the OpenWRT install for it to work (from what I found online). 

Here is the output of dmesg on the AREDN ac3:

OpenWRT speaks to the no
OpenWRT speaks to the no radio issue (on the ac3) down at the bottom of this thread: No Wireless Mikrotik RBD53iG-5HacD2HnD - Installing and Using OpenWrt - OpenWrt Forum

I had no radio (at all) when I initially flashed these hAP's from the previous stable build of AREDN 3.23.8 - no AP and no option to enable/disable the mesh network either. When I installed the previous nightly (and now latest stable) I do have radio functionality but there is something else going on with the poor performance. 

Let me know if I can be any more help.. I'm at a loss of what's going on other than there is something in the firmware that is beyond my scope.. I can give you access to the hAP via AREDN tunnel (not connected to local mesh) not sure if that can help or not.. 

Thanks for your help

The DtD lan port only connects at 100Mbps FDX, not 1G
