If I'm not doing Winbox from WAN, do I need the rule "add action=accept chain=prerouting dst-port=portofwinboxserviceprotocol=tcp" from BartozP's rule set? After making some changes, I now have the following firewall ruleset with everything set to interface lists. /ip firewall address-list...
Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look and make some changes. As it is right now, none of the bruteforce/scanning rules are showing any traffic anyway.
Hi everyone, been a while since I've done a new config on my router so I figured I'd post here for a config review. If you see anything obviously wrong, missing anything that puts me at risk, or just likely to kill my my overall internet throughput performance I'd love to get your feedback. This is ...
I think that this is more of a general question than wireless, but please feel free to move this thread. Especially with the current issues with infected Internet of Things [IoT] (aka Internet of Shit) devices forming massive botnets, I want to segregate, isolate, log, and monitor all traffic to my...
So I'm a bit paranoid about data backup and was thinking about setting up a site-to-site VPN between my house and a family's house so that I can have my new server at my house (2TB and growing) and my old Synology NAS at the remote location for replication. At my house I have a Mikrotik 450G. It is ...
I don't know exactly what combination of settings I had done incorrectly, but it was more than just antenna mode as I had tried multiple settings with no luck. I must have had some things set that forced something not to want to work right. I do recommend something like this. It has been working gre...
I've had decent experience with RocNoc for ordering Mikrotik stuff. Granted, I've only placed two orders, but they were there when I was shipped an improperly setup RB411AR and helped me ensure it was not damaged. (antennas hooked to the wrong outputs).
Hurray! Well I completely reset the unit again and took advantage of the "quick set" feature to do the initial config and it now works! Great range of B/G and N. Whew. [admin@PEBWiFi] > /export compact # nov/05/2012 22:27:58 by RouterOS 5.21 # /interface bridge add l2mtu=1526 name=bridge1 ...
Alright, I'm back with the hardware setup properly, with the above described antenna on the onboard port of the 411AR. I get about double the range, however, double 5 feet is only about 10 feet. D'OH! Tested with a laptop, android tablet, and iPhone. All worked well all over the apartment with the p...
I enjoy DIY, but it seems you always learn the most by blowing stuff up right? :( Let's assume that the board is not fried (because if it is I'll replace it). I now have a "2.4GHz 7dBi Omnidirectional Rubber Duck style antenna" on its way to me for connecting to the RB411AR connector. On t...
The provider (roc-noc) built it and connected both antenna to the N card, and I had to specify that I wanted to buy antennas. It by default came with no antenna despite being a pre-built solution (base was RB411ar + Case + power supply). I hooked the antenna up tot he 411AR AUX antenna port and the ...
About a week. I just disabled that interface now. I'm pretty frustrated that none of the documentation that I've seen specifies that this requires an external antenna. The provider that I purchased it from didn't say anything either and despite purchasing the unit with 2x MMCX antennas, both were ho...
So I recently got a RB411AR and a 52Hn card and got it all configured with a 2.GHz B/G network and a 5GHz N network. The N network is great. I have two external antennas for it and the range and speed are good. The B/G network however, I can't really connect to it with any device unless I'm standing...
Ah, I knew it was something simple. Ok, so I went back and reset to defaults, deleted the IP for the ether1, then created a bridge and assigned the bridge as the DHCP client. Then I setup the SSIDs for each AP, and assigned each device to the bridge group. Immediately traffic started passing and I w...
This is basic, but I'm sure that I'm missing something. I just got my RB411AR (built in B/G card) with an additional R52Hn card. I've got it setup on the network, but am having trouble getting the access points setup. I've followed the tutorial in the Mikrotik Wiki, but at the point where it says to...
I have a RB450G as my main home router and have been more than happy with it now that it is up and running right. Super stable and reliable. Much better than anything that I've ran in the past. I also have an ok Netgear 5ghz N access point, but I've been needing to restart it more and more lately de...
Thanks for the reply. I ended up figuring it out last night before this topic was approved. The problem is that I was making the assumption that a dstnat chain needed to be setup on the IP>Firewall>NAT tab so that I could set the port forwarding with rules on the IP>Firewall>Filter tab. In reality, ...
Port Forwarding setup frusterations with Dynamic IP (home service) on RB450G I'm very new to MikroTik gear and having a heck of a time trying to get simple port forwarding working on my RB450G. I'm using this as my home router after getting sick of crappy home level gear failing and crashing on me (...
