Hi, a quick solution is to have a rule at the bottom that has a limit of 0 to block the whole of the network(s) that you have. If there is a rule above it then it's first rule that applies, that way anyone without a designated allowed ip gets blocked and anyone with an allowance gets allowed. JJOliv...
Also, can you tell us what our trying to achieve with RB1, is it accessible by other devices, any freq presences? Whats the noise like in your area etc etc. basically the diagram is great but doesn't give much detail.
Also, sorry I see that its a 5k link. Sorry.......
What EXACTLY are you trying to do? What equipment are you using currently? How is your current equipment set up? What have you tried that isn't working?
Are you trying to host? Are you trying to recieve existing content? Can you supply examples?
On the mikrotik wiki page, search proxy cache. At the bottom of the page there is an example of what you are trying to do. The page you want has looks like "Testwiki/proxy (cache)". I tried to copy and paste the link but it gave me the same site that I had already put, when I tried to foll...
Another question, Mesh radio A, B, C can ping each other? Laptop connects to Mesh radio A, at which point your laptop is unable to ping Mesh radio B + C. (correct?) With the laptop still connected to radio A, can mesh radio B ping mesh radio A? and A-B? B-C? What exactly is dropping out when you con...
Hi, This sounds like a big project, as you have asked for the 'pros' for help, and are designing something on a large scale presumably for a company setup I would suggest looking to hire a mikrotik consultant (I am not one!). Your question is quite a daunting one and not particularly specific enough...
Hi. I don't understand what you are waiting for. You have made a statement that you don't know how to use expression encoder with a mikrotik product. This is a nonsensical statement as expression encoder is a piece of software for making movies and has nothing to do with networking. Expression encod...
Hi. The screen grab you have put up only shows us that it's not working, and we kind of know that from your post. If I were you, I'd throw a simple queue in right at the bottom that has an unlimited (999M/999M) limit that is a 'catch all' on your network(s). This will help you identify one of three ...
Hi Brian. I'm unsure if we solved the problem, as he didn't come back I'm assuming he did. I suggest that you create a new thread (ignore this if you have!) and give as much detail as to the problem as possible, including sustained upload and download speeds cross network as well as across networks,...
Hi. I'm updating my installs as 4.5 has come out. I'm sadly unlucky enough not to own a RB750 or RB800. As I'm detailing all the packages for RB specific so I only take the files out I need when I need them (in the future) I'd like to know what install they are. Mipsle? Mipsbe? PPC? X86? Just for wh...
Hi Negge. Thanks for this. I'm newish to MT and know little about routing. Thanks for writing down your config in this forum. Can I make a suggestion that you also write a wiki on the MT wiki page as I think that will be longer lasting. People, like you yourself mentioned check out the wiki first. I...
Yeah that works. (Bit Torrent idea). As you've quoted me (i think), let me explain in a little more detail. Assuming you MT is taking a ISP connection and routing it through to a private network(s) create a simple queue that catches all the IP's of the private network(s). So if your internet connect...
When I worked in Uganda, getting high quality Cat5e cable was a pain, and we had to deal with voltage drop of DC along the cable runs. Obviously the higher quality Cat5 cable the better as in general it will have higher diameter cores and the voltage drop will be less. This is important because if y...
I don't use hotspot or a 1meg connection, but the simple answer is yes it will. I use a RB433AH with about 200 wireless clients connected to and span a large wireless setup for many users. I suggest if your totally new to MT though getting used to the manual / forum (which you've done) and perhaps e...
I think what people are saying is that there may be enough information for you to fix what you are looking to fix with the information you have already provided. Perhaps you need to tell us exactly what your issue is so that we can help you. Sounds like you trying to find a way to split packets that...
I set up several MT AP's / RB's up metal poles and such like. I added POE surge protectors on all the POE cables. We get lots of lightening. What's $20 if it saves a $200 RB or a $50 POE? Plus we have dirty mains supply (norm is 240v) but we get anywhere from 110-280v. If the POE gets a spike I wann...
Just a heads up, and I may be wrong. NStream and Dual Nstream has some issues with ROS v4. That is to say a percentage of people find the links made by Nstream unstable in the extreme and have had to disable the nstream links. The Dual NStream you are talking about is likely to also break your links...
Why don't you tell us how you are powering these devices? What ROS you're running? What bios version your are running? What you are doing with them? What is precipitating them 'stopping'?
Sorry, as I said before I don't have anything at home to test with ..... :( Figured the DNS mapping would work, sorry that it didn't. Just a little thought that may or may not be helpful, but it seems that whilst the Mikrotik is able to forward from the bridged interfaces to the WAN interface, there...
DHCP server is a server that assigns IP addresses and correct routing information to each user on the network (assuming they are set to obtain information from a DHCP server). Unless the devices on your network connect to the MT DHCP server they won't get the correct information to enable them to co...
Zahiy I'm glad you have identified the problem now, I enjoy the trouble shooting stage of identify the problem! If you don't have any queues then I have absolutely no idea. I'm very sorry but I'm unable to help any further as I don't know what may cause this problem. Sorry :( Hope you get this sorte...
May I suggest that there may be a more thoughtful way of running with a simple 2 DNS solution. If the purpose of multiple DNS is to create fall-over support should one fail, I would suggest that adding two DNS servers of the same ISP to be unwise, as everyone using that ISP will use the fall-over of...
I've brought several RB400 series boards and crossroads CPE's and they have come with RouterOS installed. I suspect that it's either a RB1000 specific issue or it's a misunderstanding of the new owner.
The problem is actually the way you've set up your home router (HR). Firstly you've not included the gateway's you've set for your HR WAN but I know that you've included the mikrotik (MT) IP and the Modem IP in the gateway list. If you hadn't you'd not be able to see the web page for the MT and mode...
I don't know anything about PPPoe connections so I can't help with that. I think you said that; Isp ----> modem ----> RouterBoard WAN ----> CPE's 10mb/s ---- 10mb/s ----------- 10mb/s -------- 300kb/s You said when you connect your laptop 'close' to the RouterBoard you got 300kb/s? I'm not sure what...
Hrm, I think that's a bit ambitious as far as i'm concerned (re: 150w). I've had a number of problems that are a direct result of POE limited power supplies. I've gone trough a number of POE supplies for a 433AH, using a brand new 2a 24v regulated active POE injector I kept getting power outages and...
why my clients dont get good internet speed? Hi, just a quick question but where is the speed dropping? You haven't run enough tests to be clear where the problem actually is. For example, if you were to connect via a CPE to a LAN based device and you still only get 80Kbps transfer you will know th...
Alternatively have the WRT54G as router as it IS a router, keep it simple . . . . <wireless> / <isp> ----> <wrt54g> ------> < \ <wired> Again I'll echo that this isn't really a Mikrotik issue. Set the WAN on the WRT54G to the IP of the ISP or if possible to receive from a DHCP server . . . . Set the...
I'm running a 433AH with a R52h and a Kingston 1000mw radio next to each other (due to the heat sink of the kingston it has to go on the topmost miniPCI slot and the R52h on the lowest). I'm running a 1km back haul on the R52h non-line of sight with about 20 trees in the way, whilst the signal stren...
Hi everyone. I love to keep up to date and now version 4.4 is out, it begs the question again. Why do the torrent files have to be so user 'un-friendly'. I happen to use crossroads, rb400's, rb600's and pc's across my network and I'm getting in a fluster as to what folder contains the files for the ...
You could also look at putting in a pci card, that may be easier but I'm guessing the reason you're asking the question is that you have a USB dongle already!
Hi David. You've asked quite a few questions in one place which is pretty hectic to try and answer. In truth it actually would be pretty near impossible for one person to answer them all in one go!!! 1. To test your internet speed you need to know a couple of real quick things . . . I'm assuming you...
Hi. I'm pretty new to mikrotik, but what seems to be glaringly obvious is that IP / Services which, forgive me for explaining, allows you to connect to the mikrotik in differing fashions via Api, FTP, ssh, telnet, winbox, www and www-ssl. What seems to be at fault is that you can only put a single i...
Thanks. Perhaps we should have a wiki page on powering router boards. I live in Uganda and have to get my RB's shipped from the US. I got a massive 24v 2a regulated active POE and it kept cutting out on my RB433AH + 2 wlan and a complete failure after 12 hours. Not helpful. I currently use salvaged ...
Good day sir. Here are the top two results from a yahoo search (is it just me or is google off-line today?) http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Mesh_wds http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Layer-2_routing_for_Mesh_networks It's always worth checking the wiki articles before posting here, as I'll I've done is do...
Alternatively just add another IP address of a different subnet. This should allow traffic between the two subnets that the interface now has. I have 10.200.1.0/24, 10.200.20.0/24 and 10.200.30.0/24 as subnets with my RB450G eth2 set as .1 on each network. Just remember that if you use traffic queue...
Hi. I have 3 subnets from my single RB450G, taking satellilte internet! What is your hard ware? How are you currently running two subnets, that way we can see how to join them. My RB450G is set up like; ether1=Public ether2=10.200.1.1/24 =10.200.20.1/24 =10.200.30.1/24 ether3-5 set master port = eth...
It may be helpful to see your nat configuration so we can comment on it. I'm new to MT and won't be able to help but it may save you some time to detail from the config what NAT you are doing already so others can see what's causing the problem.
sergejs; sorry, I don't have this problem, just pointing to the point that this is not an isolated incident, it appears to be effecting others as well. I'd love to have an RB600 though. I'm currently having to use a RB450G in an orphanage and hospital in Uganda, approximately 200 staff members use t...
If you are getting a good signal like you said, I'd consider taking the box apart and build from the beginning, start with just 1 radio and one sector. If you get a great signal from one sector only and network speed is fast then build it up slowly, one change at a time. Obviously that only helps if...
Yes I have several very similar setups, though I do not use the UAH, just 433 with or without AH. The problem with the valemount radios is this, they have 2 connectors, MMCX and ufl. On the physical card you will see that printed on the board by the MMCX is the word 'main' and by the ufl 'aux'. This...
I use that Valemount radio as well. I'm assuming here that the radio is plugged in via the MMCX cable (the big one). For some reason the ports are mislabeled. In winbox try switching (under the wireless page on the radio) the antenna mode to antenna b.
If your board is fully functional, why change the power supply? The RB433's in my experience should be run at a higher voltage, this is because what you really need is watts into the device, as watts are a factor of volts multiplied by amps, a 12v 1a power supply is half the power of a 24v 1a power ...
Thanks for everyones help. I've been playing around with it for the past 8 hours and found a 'work around'. Again I'm using all simple queues here, but I've added 6 rules to supersede the others; Admin - wireless network. Target address=10.200.1.0/24 dst-address=10.200.20.0/24 upload/download max li...
I really enjoy the series of books 'for dummies'. That may say more about me than it does the books but they are really easy to understand, I haven't read it but they do one on firewalls, if you are after learning from the beginning then moving on. http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Firewalls-For-...
I'm flying off site to a different continent within a week and would like to train the local team how to use the RB450G's, but I can't do that until it's all fixed.
Hi. I'm looking at doing a similar thing for my RB450G. There are two things to note. The manual says that the RB433UAH has a microSD slot. . . http://www.routerboard.com/pdf/rb433UAH.pdf That means that a microSDHC card will not work. The HC for SD cards stands for High Capacity and needs to have s...
Hi, Winbox is only ported to windoze ATM. There are threads asking it be ported to more OS, I use OSX so I understand your problem. That it works well with wine in some distros of linux is useful though. I've used Lenny and wine to good effect for winbox. Sadly I don't have crossover for mac so I'm ...
Hi I'm attaching some screen shots. The reason I'm doing this is that I suspect that the problem is that the mangle rule isn't working. q1.JPG q2.JPG I'm wondering if I've made a mistake somewhere along the line as neither shows traffic on the queue Lan2Lan. Also I'm not seeing any activity on the J...
Hi KARABAYA I have a 450G that I'm using for my router. Whilst I don't have a fast internet connection, I am seeing through put on the LAN at 7MBytes/s so the through put of the switch chip at least is alot faster. I have serveral subnets on the LAN and my queue list is limiting the tx, with the que...
Missed that step. We run POE's with 2.5mm power cable from one end to the other, so we don't suffer from voltage drop, we also run POE surge protectors, and ground the boards this way, so we couldn't do it, but it may work for you eben!
Well, that's a question for a solar system expert which I am not. Your solar panels have to go through a charge controller of some description, the high end ones have the ability to regulate and step up / down voltages to your battery bank, I have 74v from my solar panels which go through a MPTT Cha...
eben; You have three options. 1. Get a 'charge pump' to do a voltage step up from your 12/24v system to 36/48v. I've googled quickly for you but can't find one that fits what you are after, but I'm sure they exist. 2. Run your batteries in series and have a system voltage of 48v (this is what we do)...
Okay, I tried both. The second one works the best that I can see however, I'm still getting a red limit on traffic for the local webserver that i'm pulling from (10.200.1.5) and a red limit on the IP pool i'm pulling from (currently just a simple rule for the 10.200.30.0/24 traffic), limiting traffi...
Hi I was wondering if someone could help. I've spent 4 hours searching both forums and wiki's on how to use the mangle function to mark packets. I have a very slow internet connection which may be why, if this information is already available I haven't found it. Whilst I found lots on mangle, nothin...
I've been trying to help out in IRC. As far as I am aware, unless the eth ports are bridged together, data won't flow between. Bridging them all together, makes the board act like a switch. In this mode packets (regardless of tags) get passed from one eth port to another, without any packet strippin...
Hi I've been given a crossroads board and have updated it to v3.23. The way I want to use the crossroads is to wire it into my LAN switch and have it broadcast as an AP so computers can connect to the internet via the crossroads 14db sector panel. I've bridged the Eth1 and Radio, I have added the ga...
Hi I'm racking my brains trying to work out why my mikrotik Crossroads is not functioning the way I want. I have a small wired network and have the crossroads wired to the network. I have given the crossroads internet access through my firewall (192.168.0.1). When i log into my crossroads box via th...
