Wireless Networking • Re: Sudden Wifiwave2 issues

Hi together, I run a following setup:

- RB5009UPr+S+ as the main router + capsman
- hap ax3 as a cap
- hap ax2 as a cap

All of the sudden, around new year, the hap ax2 has stopped airing wifi. When I look into the status of wifi interface, the state is "Disabled" although it has run a DFS Scan and shows itself being managed by the capsman.
The hap ax3 with almost identical config runs just fine

Could someone please look into the configuration as I am not able to find an issue? Could this be a hardware defect? I have tried performing a factory reset etc., yet had no success of bringing the interface on air

cap ax2 (not working):
- when I open the status tab on in winbox, the state is "Disabled" and there is in fact also no signal coming out
- also, I had to change the certificate to "none", otherwise it would just show "no connection to capsman" and had to turn off certificate requirement on the capsman as well in order to get it work even slightly. I can rule out firewall issues as I have tried temporarily disabling all blocking rules, however I still got the "no connection to capsman" error. Setting the certificate to none got it working again

The devices have also been updated to the latest 7.13.1 and have all the "wifi-qcom" package, even the RB5009UPr.
I am really losing my mind over this.
