I spoke too soon!

I can Winbox to RoMon connected routers but no data appears in Winbox - all windows are empty.

I have experimented with changing MTU settings on the EOIP tunnel but nothing helps.

RE: !) package - fixed wireless package status after upgrade to 6.37 (extra reboot after upgrade is necessary);

IF two reboots are required does this mean we cannot upgrade a router remotely if our only access is via wlan?

What about a powerbox containing an RB260GSP? A simple PoE switch in an outdoor case for layer 2 networks.

Trisc

I am also seeing this but with identical MAC adresses - v6.34.2

Trisc

from v. 6.20 changelog:

If running a GRE tunnel between two routers must they both have this option enabled to prevent fragmentation? Will we see improved throughput on GRE tunnel if don't-fragment=no?

Trisc

Hi

Where can I find the antenna patterns shown in the tutorial examples? MT Metal, Groove etc..

Otherwise great work!

Trisc

Mangle rules no longer working in 6.11 - routing marks have no effect. Downgraded back to 6.10 and everything works again.

+1 with the quality control comment!

Trisc

I cannot enter a list of frequencies into wireless scan-list after upgrading to 6.7. Winbox interface gives an error.

Entering a scan-list in command line produces multiple drop down items in winbox - very strange behaviour.

Yup. 5.21 and 3.0 firmware

Trisc

Agreed - its happened to us also, not good if you are 20m up a tower. Very poor design. Will try to contact reseller.

Trisc

Hidden features: cable problems. Should this work on the RB750UP? Not seeing anything different here.

Trisc

I think I'll wait for the 'counterfeits' to flood the market before I buy any.

Why bother to counterfeit a $99 device

Trisc

Strange. It has worked fine for us for many years and we exclusively use PayPal on 10 different hotspots. Using a regular expression avoids having anything to do with DNS. It also allows redirection to secure subdomains like mobile.paypal.com if the customer is on a mobile device.

Trisc

Just came across this thread. Seems a complicated solution! :shock: The following dst-host entry :^.*\.paypal\.com$ in the walled garden seems to work for me! Also handles PayPal mobile site which the above scripts ignore. Use this regular expression for all secure domains you want in your walled ga...

Trisc

I'm also casting a vote for a 2GHz version. When it was first announced I thought Oho! a perfect mesh box! But it would really need dual radio/antennas with 5GHz for mesh backbone

We are using 802.11a, not ...

Trisc

Omnitik - 802.11a/b/g/n?

Just need to be sure - can I upgrade from 4.1x using wireless-nv2 package to 5.1 without having to install wireless package separately?

In our experience these boards will lock up under heavy use - you have to only install minimum packages and lock data rates down to no more than 18Mb on AP and clients.

Trisc

I agree, its misleading.

Trisc

About your current Nstreme setup, you might want to lower the framer-limit back to 3200 and try out dynamic-size or exact-size framer-policy. But better to use Nv2.

We even managed to upgrade a 112! So far all 133s are ...

Trisc

try to use station-bridge or station-wds mode if you want to use Nv2 or write to support to provide a test build of RC9

This fix doesn't work for PtMP situations. We have 4 clients in station-wds mode - only one will pass traffic when AP is switched to nv2 protocol.

Trisc

OK, I eventually managed to login to RB133. As suspected CPU is stuck at 100%.

All I did was change standard wireless package to wireless-nv2.

Trisc

We can just about load 4.16 with the minimum packages: ppp, dhcp, system, routerboard, security and standard wireless package, but replace this with wireless-nv2 and the board becomes completely unresponsive - cannot even tel...

Mikrotik - have you managed to reproduce this problem? As I said it is present in Wireless nv2 package on v.4 and also in v.5xx

PPPoE sessions through wireless interface will remain connected for several days then all disconnect for no reason.

We want to use nv2 but cannot if this persists!!

Trisc

There was a good paper on this at last year's MUM: http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/PL10/grittini.pdf

Also search for WMM in the Wiki manual

Trisc

So all laptop manufacturers will have to stop using uFL? Somehow I don't think so!

Trisc

The only way we have found to solve these random PPPoE disconnects is to briefly change the wireless protocol between any/unspecified/802.11 then the sessions reconnect.

As i said this only affects 2.4Ghz clients to AP with v5rcxx or v4 using the nv2 wireless package.

Trisc

We also have the same problem, one RB433AH with approx 40 clients on 2.4GHz divided between 2 wireless interfaces and one RB600 with maybe 10 2.4GHz clients.

Seems counterintuitive to show available resources as a resource being consumed then, doesn't it?

I've no idea which OID other than the standard probe that the Dude makes on a Mikrotik device. How can I find out?

Trisc

Seems like the Dude is seeing available resources as CPU usage perhaps?

Trisc

A process called 'idle' seems to be using 50-75% of resources. What is that?

Trisc

Noticed this release has similar effect on RB600 - CPU usage has jumped from approx 30% average to 75% despite no other changes

Trisc

How about ability to scan for wireless channels when you are connected through the wireless interface? So scan for say 10 seconds and save results in winbox.

We have other wireless CPE where this is possible via web interface or management console.

Trisc

Looking forward to trying nv2. Unfortunately the nv2 wireless package in 4.13 causes PPPoE sessions on 2.4GHz interface to randomly disconnect, so reluctantly had to downgrade wireless package without testing on 5GHz interface.

Hi

I am testing this script and it is working for me, but one question - does rebooting/clearing queue data affect the running totals? I’m hoping not since this is why the queue comment field is used?

More realistic is some 8-16 port Routerboard (Swich ) with software controled POE output and software selectable 24V or 48V output voltage.

I second that!

Trisc

We have a lot of RB112s as client CPE, hotspot nodes etc. I can tell you upgrading to v3.3 has caused no end of problems with these boards. Its random stuff, but looks like insufficent resources mostly.

We are downgrading 112s to 2.9.50 - only when we can access the ethernet interface directly.

Trisc

I found a workaround. Replace the static IP with 0.0.0.0, apply it, then delete it. Now the client will get a dynamic address.

Trisc

Yes. If I delete the static IP, when I next log in to the router it is still there.

Trisc

We have an RB532 with two 5GHz interfaces that was previously routing between two networks, but I've now installed 3.0rc6 and changed it to a bridge. However the interface now in station pseudobridge mode is seeing packet loss to its peer. This was never a problem when it was just a station. We also...

Trisc

Would RB133 have enough CPU to run three wireless interfaces and 30-40 PPPoE clients?

Trisc

All 2.4 - 5GHz we only use for point to point and these are OK. I may have to downgrade back to 2.9 and hope that fixes the problem.

Trisc

Yes we are having similar problems since we upgraded from 2.9 yesterday. We have many clients (OSBridge) all showing good signal but PPPoE connections are dropping and some clients are unable to connect at all.

I too would like to know when the next release is expected...

Trisc

Actually its an RB133C - probably makes a difference.

Trisc

I cannot associate to a router in WDS-Slave mode, although it is connected fine to its peer. Is this a licence issue? Its an RB133 with level 3 licence.

Trisc

In what sort of ambient temperatures?

Trisc

the RB333 power supply will support the 3 cards, but your board will get very hot, that's why we have a Fan header there. make sure your Fan/-s support the incoming voltage. How will fans help if the board is in a small sealed enclosure such as the PacWireless above? You just end up recirculating h...

Trisc

This document warns that the amplifier could be damaged if no antenna is connected. What is a safe TX power to use while testing on the bench? Its not always easy to attach antennas when you are just configuring the boards.

I assume if the card is disabled there is no risk to the amp circuits?

Trisc

Nope. I can't get to it either.

Trisc

The second unit is a RB112 with 1 wireless card. The wireless card is set as "wds-slave". It has no possibility of connecting to the internet since it is 500 feet away from the nearest ethernet connection. It is a stand alone unit. Try AP-Bridge mode on the second unit as well. With WDS t...

Yes, that's more or less what I've been doing for that past 18 months but from time to time PayPal seem to change IPs and it breaks, so I have lots of addresses in my IP list gathered from reverse DNS lookups.

I'd really like a simple walled garden hostname that just worked!

Trisc

As well make sure that paypal pages are added to walled-garden, as it described here, http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_Manager/User_payments#PayPal If I enter the following from the wiki into my walled garden: / ip hotspot walled-garden add dst-host=:^www\\.paypal\\.com\$ dst-port=443 action=allo...

We have added this when working with the Boingo. When you create a new hotspot server and specify new directory -i t will create a new files which has the support for that xml stuff.

I tried running this script manually - but nothing happened apart from maxing out the CPU for 2-3 minutes.

Trisc

Storage space that fills up with log entries that I can't see a way of deleting.

How can I delete these logs? I tried a script from another post but it did nothing.

Trisc

That's exactly why you should use X86 (a PC) for it.

That's not what it says on the wiki! If nothing is done to improve the way User Manager handles resources even a PC will run out of memory eventually!

Trisc

How come User Manager is no longer available to download for the RB500 series, but is available for the RB200? I was just about to purchase a 532A for this - should I not bother? :cry: User Manager just chews through resources - as the sessions grow, memory decreases. Memory is finite on any platfor...

Trisc

user manager is NOT recommended on routerboards. too little resources, too little space.

All routerboards? Isn't RB532 with 64MB RAM and maybe 512MB CF sufficient for 2.9 and User Manager?

Trisc

Will there be an option to customise the user page? I'm sure all hotspot operators would wish it to appear as part of their portal.

Trisc

So I have created a customer with public ID, added sign up, Paypal option and credit. Now when I click the link it takes me to the sign up page - which works - but the username and password fields are already populated with the customer's login :?: How can I make these blank so the user chooses his ...

Trisc

I am using .41 and if the user goes to the user page, i.e http://Router_IP_address/user?subs=publicID he sees a login page asking for username and password.

How has this been fixed??

Trisc

But in order to pay they first have to access the usermanager's user page. For this they need a password - no?

Trisc

we made it so that the customer is provided with payment options, pays, and the account for him is created automatically, and details sent to his email (provided along with payment). no confirmation is needed, because account is made and activated at the time of payment Forgive me, but I don't unde...

Sandisk Extreme 12GB and 16GB are now available - pretty cool for proxy caching!

So its not just me!

If I am the top level subscriber and I have a customer with a coffee shop who wants to print vouchers or create users, he should only be able to see his users, and nobody else's/ Ideally we would like to deny him access to routers as well.

Uldis?

I've probably got this wrong but I don't understand the Subscriber-customer-user hierarchy. For example why can one customer see all the details including shared secrets of other customers routers? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_Manager/Permissions makes it look like there is a lot more a custom...

Hi Uldis

Are we going to see PayPal integrated into User Manager at the MUM next week?

Trisc

Could be one of those with the titanium case. Look pretty but severely degrades the built in wireless! :lol:

Trisc

We're wondering if its possible to distribute a hotspot over multiple ADSL tails terminating on typical ADSL/VPN routers (Netgear etc) which the clients would be connected to. We would use VPN tunnels to the MT hotspot hosted by the ISP. Would we need EoIP or could it be done with just the PPTP clie...

If you mean www yes it is. There is no http service per se.

In 2.9 just add all the IP addresses PayPal uses to your walled garden IP list. To use PayPal I simply create a payment button on the PayPal website, copy and paste this to hotspot login page. The button code also redirects the user to a page of your choosing after payment is made. This should have ...

I just installed 2.9.26 with User Manager for MIPS on an RB532 - have added a user but can't access the web admin page at all.

No problems opening the web page on the X86 version so what is different here?

We have a number of identically configured MT hotspots - all but one work fine with our RADIUS server. The one that doesn't work is NATed through another MT on our network.

I seem to remember there was a work around for this but I can't remember what it was. Can anyone help?

Trisc

seems to work OK for me - although the interesting bits are restricted!

Here are my suggestions! Ability to pass variables to external (payment) server. Allow return variables to update users table - ie we could use customer's MAC address instead of username/password Ability for customers to roam between hotspots Credits have choice to break sessions within any predefin...

Hi Uldis

Will it mean a different RADIUS server at each MT hotspot? Can I offer roaming to my customers with this package?

Trisc

Many public hotspots operate roaming partnerships allowing customers of Orange, T-Mobile, OpenZone access using their prepaid hotspot accounts. I'm just starting to think how this would work in principle on MT hotspot.... If we had access to their Radius servers and add these to the Radius servers l...

The solution I found that works best is to do an nslookup on paypal then create mangle rules for all their IP addresses.

The Mikrotik has a WDS bridge with both ether and wlan1 interfaces in it. The duplicate MAC addresses are on wireless clients.

We have a RB230 on our tower (2.8.27) with a Prism AP serving maybe 20 clients. This AP also has two WDS interfaces to two other APs.

I have a RB200 up a tower using PoE. It runs fine until I try to connect a device to the data port of the PoE injector, then the power to the RB200 shorts and the router goes down.
