Building My Fully MikroTik Home Network! - Part 3: cAP AX & CAPsMAN

In today's video I'll be continuing my project to migrate my home network to run entirely using MikroTik hardware by installing three MikroTik cAP AX access points and configuring them to be managed by MikroTik's CAPsMAN controller software running on my RB5009 router. We'll take a look at the hardware, run through my software configuration, get them installed on the ceilings around the house and then wrap up with my thoughts and some discoveries I made along the way!
