Hello all , I'm trying to figure out precisely how to set up my mikrotik firewall to permit zoom . I looked this up and they list a bunch of servers and thought it would take forever to add a firewall rule for every ip they list. I'm not sure how to configure a simple ruleset to pass zoom traffic ex...
Certainly , then why are others in the US able to use these frequencies but MT won't. Seems MT is shooting themselves in the foot when the competition is able to use more of the 5 GHZ spectrum that MT is ignoring.
I'm puzzled as to why MT does not support or provide usage of the extended 5 GHZ channels on the dynadish radios that every other manufacturer seems to provide. Could you not provide a software upgrade to allow this shortcoming. The original dynadish models had this feature. I still have a few in my...
Ok , I pulled another netbox out of inventory and checked it's settings and found the 10 mhz band accessible . If I try on the original unit , no matter the country code , as soon as I select 10mhz from the drop down , the channel goes to auto with no other option. Seems I have a flaky unit.
I just went thru and changed all clients connected to a given AP to a 10 MHZ bandwidth only to discover the netbox 5 won't allow a 10 MHZ or 5MHZ bandwidth in AP bridge mode. Setup is 802.11 , ap bridge , no-country-code .
Over the past year or so I've purchased a few dynadish to use as PTP links. The first few units I got were able to use the DFS bands. After a few went out due to storms , the replacements I ordered would not use the DFS bands which really hampered performance. In just checking with my distributor I ...
Ether5 is allocated ip address of 192.168.25.1 , the ubiquiti radio attached to this interface is a rocketM2 in bridge mode as access point with ip 192.168.25.2. I can connect to all clients gui on this subnet but not the ap directly connected to ether5.... I get no response from it but no problem w...
I have a powerbox with 3 ubiquiti radios connected to ports 2 , 4 , and 5. All traffic received from ports 4 and 5 are routed to port 2 , all ports are masqueraded and the radios connected to ports 4 and 5 are bridge mode. IP's are assigned to bridged radios. I'm confused as to why I can arp ping th...
New dynadish installed , router mode , wlan ip 192.168.120.2 , eth0 ip 192.168.121.1, natted to wlan1 , default route 192.168.120.1. Am attempting to connect winbox to eth0 192.168.121.1 , and is promptly refused , however when attempting to connect via wlan ip 192.168.120.2 , it connects just fine....
I've been running dynadishs on my primary backhauls since late last year with little trouble. We had some spring storms that took a few out and I ordered replacements. Well , the replacements I got were totally inadequate for the job. Seems the power levels were way down , the UNI 2 frequencies were...
Popped in here to see if it's at all possible to get exact replacement boards for the Dynadish model. I've got several with defective lan ports and it just seems a waste to buy a whole new antenna when simple board replacement would be all that is needed. The images of the 5HacD boards I've looked a...
Yep Tom, 3 towers hit ....lost 10 radios , 4 managed switches , and a core router...spring has sprung....but I still believe that if you purchased a lvl 4 license for a device , and that device is rendered useless , then you ought to be able to transfer that license to another device , after all , y...
Tower was hit by lightning , lost the lan connection to 3 dynadishes. Is it possible to transfer the license (using the mac address of the defective units) to retrieve the licenses to install on newly purchased replacements?
I just deployed an LHG 5 for a 3 mile link and these are a couple of issues that defy explanation. License lvl 3. No power adjustment...menu lists regulatory domain and nothing else.

Having an issue with a relatively new dynadish 5 in that it seems to have quit passing any traffic. It's running in ap mode and the other end sees it but apparently it's not responding to any ip transfer. The other end keeps telling me their is no route to host although the radio signal is great. It...
hmm...found a default entry in dhcp client settings for the 192.168.88.x subnet . Where/who is assigning this ip is a mystery as there are no other dhcp servers on this node , I can only assume that there is some mechanism in the OS that does this , but don't think it's a real good idea if it is int...
????...oddly I've just installed an rb750 at another location and reassigned the ip addresses , cleared and reconfigured the dhcp pool and upon reboot that default subnet (192.168.88.x) reappeared in addition to the reassigned ip for eth 1. I've used mikrotik device for several years , so I'm not ex...
I am the OP .. things seem to be working as I have just decided to use eth5 as the "spur" network and set the DHCP to that interface , working.. . The thing that was/is most confusing is why the 192.168.88.X subnet pops up on the switched ports (1-4) when DHCP is attempted on it. I reassig...
Ports 1-4 are switched by default , with the dhcp server assigned to interface 1, and am using interface 3 , but given that those ports are switched..it shouldn't matter should it? Odd thing is some devices pick up the right subnet while others don't..rather baffling...why does the 88 subnet even ex...
I have configured this device with a dhcp server , however , the addresses handed out are not the correct subnet , they are factory default addresses in the 192.168.88.0/24 family. That was changed during setup to 192.168.254.0/24 , but it insists on handing out 192.168.88.0/24 addresses...That subn...
Posted this in general but maybe this is more appropriate. I just finished deploying a Dynadish5 and upgraded to 6.34.2 and the latest firmware... my wireless interface has completely disappeared. I had assigned an ip address prior to the upgrade and now it's shown in red showing "unknown"...
I've just deployed a dynadish 5 and set it up with a lvl 4 license to be an ap. Oddly it's passing traffic but the wireless section doesn't list any wireless interface , likewise the ip address listing shows the address in red and lists the interface assigned as "unknown". Yet it seems to ...
Trying to connect to a dynadish on the other end of a link from a RB411GL . They see each other just fine but when I attempt to mac telnet into the dynadish it just immediately disconnects. I've shut off all firewall filters but it makes no difference.Anyone else seeing similar behaviour?
I would like to know the total EIRP possible . Sure , it has a 25 dBi antenna , but what is the radio power output? Logging into unit and looking at TX power I see 17dB as default. Is that the maximum?
The toughswitch is gigabit lan capable , the rb411GL is gigabit lan , the run is barely 1 m ....wondering why these won't hook up at the full 1000 mbps...
Hello, I've made some changes to my gateway to try to facilitate higher throughput , but it seems I've eased one problem and created another. I have 7 radios on the tower , all ganged through a tycon 8 port poe switch. The gateway is a ccr-1009-8g-1s cloud core router. I have eth1 thru 4 bridged wit...
I have a 12 mile link that registers on both ends incorporating a 433AH on one end and a 411GL on the other. The oddity is the 433 can ping the 411 but the 411 will not ping the 433. I find this very strange. I can Mac ping the 433 but nothing else. And yes , they are the same subnet , else I couldn...
I seem to have an issue whereas some clients on my network have become infected with a dnsbot. My firewall filter rules specify the ports used and to "add src to address list" , naming the list "virus2" with a following rule to tarpit it. However , no list is ever generated to en...
Type of infection (if known): conficker Source Port: 1308 Destination IP: 149.20.56.32 Destination Port: 80 How do I : 1. Identify the source 2. drop all traffic to this IP The port number seems to vary and I've gotten 4 or 5 notifications from my ISP of it's presence. I've tried to manipulate the f...
I have a problem that seems to defy all my efforts to remedy. I have three backhaul links that continually , wildly , vary their throughput. It may go from 20M to less than one in an instant then to 10M , then to 2M . This causes unhappy clients. :( I've been through all the diagnostics ( interferen...
no , this is a thought experiment to address the problem of poor throughput. I currently am set up with what you suggest. It ain't working My options are limited.
Not much experience with this , but I'm getting some wacky behavior in some links and would like feedback from anyone with any knowledge of this. I have three backhaul nodes all sending and receiving to the same geographical point. Over the past few weeks the data rates on these links have varied wi...
I have a serious throughput issue. This is an idea for what it's worth. You tell me. I am going to try to use 2 hpn cards , bridged , on an RB800 , both in station mode with same ssid. The thinking is if one radio is interfered with to the point of a few kilobits throughput , the other may not neces...
Modified unit (cox wireless mod) feeding 3 rockets over 200ft. of cat 5 , using 28 v 3.5 a power supply . 750 poe out monitor very very erratic. Rockets in AP mode and are said to be @ 6.5 watts , but I'm seeing monitored spikes up to and in excess of 12w which is crazy. All new units, the only thin...
Ok , replaced PS with 28v 3.5a unit. reboots have stopped for the most part , however the 750 monitor for the poe out on all three used poe ports (eth2,eth3,eth4) are still all over the place , no stability at all. Power out readings can go from nothing to 12w in a heartbeat . There is just no consi...
Just bridge 'em. Invisible ethernet cable. winbox into unit 1 , select bridge , create bridge 1 , add wlan and eth to bridge , assign ip address to bridged interfaces. winbox into unit 2 , repeat , with another ip in same subnet.. This is how all the other RB's are done , I assume it would be the sa...
I've modified this unit w/ the cox wireless suggestion as I have others that seem to be rock solid with the mod but this one is feeding 3 rockets which spec out at 6.5 watts each but I'm seeing 750 monitoring spikes all over the place well in excess of 6.5 watts per channel. Software bug? Supply is ...
Same results , latest upgrades . 5.22 , poe v. 3.0 . 200 ft. / cat5 24v poe to 750up . NBM5 on eth2 , Rocket 2M on eth3 . Random power cycling on both ports. No matter if auto /forced. Long poe checked for eth1. Still same results.
I usually start by setting up a straightforward ap/client link in standard 802.11 mode ( ap-bridge-> station or station-bridge) and making incremental changes till I get the desired result. Check for interference and obstructions.
I have a vlan ip address set up on eth1 along with it's normal , routed ip address. I want to bridge it to wlan1 which already has a non-bridged ,routed ,natted ip address.Do I need to set an additional vlan for wlan1 in order to bridge these two interfaces , or will the bridging automatically assig...
I've been monitoring bit torrent usage and have over 4k listed in my firewall address list. My question is how can I perform a bulk delete of all these addresses. It'll take forever to delete them all individually.
Under /wireless tables/registration , in NV2 mode , P throughput is not displayed ,however , in A(802.11) it is. Why is there no displayed parameter in this mode? RB435G.ver. 5.18
Actually what I'm looking at is the throughput parameter in the wireless/registration/P throughput display as it shows the "pipe" size regardless of any data flow. This all stems from an issue that's recently cropped up for some as yet unknown reason.This particular link shows great throug...
I'm beginning to believe this is routeros software related , I took this screenshot of a ping speed test over this link. Look at the average...impossible. This is not photoshopped or any other image manipulation. It is a direct screenshot of an active test. http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy178/g...
Mikrotik , how is the P throughput figure arrived at in wireless tables registration? As I've stated , little to no data transfer results in high throughput figures. Executing a flood ping or ping speed test , the throughput drops off substantially ,as much or in excess of 90% of pre-test execution....
cpu less than 10%.... Changed the SR-5 to SHPn...no change , no stability , rates all over the place. The other end of this link is a brand new SHPn Metal. Arbitrary peaks were impressive though , nearly 70M , it just won't sustain. Settles around 10M but also drops to less than 1M. It's just all ov...
I've got a RB800 loaded with 3 SR-5's. One link in particular is acting quite bizarre in that as long as there is very little to no data flow the throughput seems stable at around 25M-30M as viewed in the wireless tables. Radio signal is in the low 70's with little to no variance. However , once I s...
Hello, I have an issue I suspect is related to possible interference but can't conclusively prove it. What I have are six radio's mounted on a tower all using completely different frequencies but 2 seem to sporadically and drastically reduce throughput and are pointed in generally the same direction...
Hi , I've got a couple of links that I think are sporadically being compromised by interference (I believe). My question is can a single radio be told to use a specific primary route , and if the throughput diminishes below a threshold , use an additional alternate route. The primary doesn't actuall...
I got 2 but only one deployed so far , and unfortunately a ubiquity SR5 is on the other end of that link , so it still just running a 20mhz bandwidth. Should have the link completed in a week , if I could find a routerboard that can use more than 2 of the mini-pci versions , it would help. The heats...
I picked up a couple of these to check out and to my dismay , because of the profile , they will only fit on rb 600/800 boards , and then only 2 of the four slots. Are there any plans for a routerboard to accommodate more than 2 without resorting to a daughter board? I resorted to a RB153 , but am c...

Yes it is enabled. After a few minutes the motd appears but no prompt. No direct telnet access ability. Simple direct upgrade from 4.16 , now all kinds of mischief.

Upgraded from 4.16. to 5.1 to a RB433 and now there is no terminal response.?? Terminal comes up but can't type any input and nothing is displayed in the terminal window.
Yes have seen this quite a bit. I attribute it to moisture (in cable assemblies) and freeze thaw cycles throughout the day. I believe that a somewhat mild ground air temperature inversion may also play into it especially if the ground is snow covered and overnight temps fall below freezing. Then the...
Hello, I'm trying to reduce the effects of high latency and grossly exaggerated pings to clients from a 433ah w/60-70 clients spread over 3 radios to some reasonable value and would like consensus on what a reasonable number of connections per client might be. The default is 100 but this results in ...
I have some suspicious activity on an ap that has worked flawlessly for quite a long while. But in the past few weeks the connection traffic is slowing and I've racked my brain trying to determine if it's interference, weather , or whatever. Needless to say my customers have noticed it too! In looki...
The intent is not to equally divide bandwidth but to "slow down" chronic heavy users to let casual usage continue unimpeded. Otherwise 8-10 netflix users could effectively shut out/delay all other traffic. Does this config accomplish that , or does it slow down everyone on that interface d...
The "public interface" , the interface closest to the internet, would be ether1. The "local" of which there are 3 wireless cards/subnets, is how I interpreted this for my particular situation. This AP is buried 3 hops away from the actual internet gateway.

Hey all, I've been browsing around the forums trying to find some info on traffic shaping but don't seem to find anything that would pertain to my particular situation. Suppose I have 50-70 clients connected over three sectors. Further, assume all sectors are connected to three cards on a 433ah and ...
As I understand CCQ , it's only viable during an actual data transfer. Now , not knowing the environment your in (i.e., competition in the area , background noise , yada yada..) I'll assume your running 20Mhz bandwidth on your antennas. Bump them to 10Mhz and 5Mhz and run scans to see if possibly yo...
Hello to all... I run a smallish wisp and I'm beginning to encounter a situation that is not uncommon in this field. That being throughput and latency. Now most are aware that wifi is half duplex. A radio can't transmit and receive simultaneously. Mikrotik has several examples of how this could be a...
Which is exactly what I want. Any wireless client being relayed through the wireless interface gets forwarded to another wireless interface serving as the backhaul ,as does the client connected through the lan port. It's so no client either connected wirelessly or via lan port has any advantage in b...
I have several access points set up and some are set up at private residences that use the ethernet port as their access. Most are 433's but a few are soekris X86 boards, all running mikrotik.

having been doing this for quite some time (6 years) I am puzzled as to why my 433ah has quit registering any client ip addresses. The hostname shows up , but no ip address. Ip scan of the subnet shows nothing but the ap its generated from. What in the world would do this? Cured....an oversite in en...

The microcells are effectively just another client to the sector , and yes it is dynamic ACK. I may have found a contributing issue in that I've discovered a couple of clients using bittorrent ,which I had created a filter rule to log then drop the packets. There were over 10K ip's listed in the log...
I've been looking for info to explain why an particular AP I have in service seems to intermittently give me astronomical ping times to random clients.
