Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've set up hotspot for a small network and its working. But the only way for a device to login to user manager is to set ip binding to Bypass hotspot. But that's not the behavior I want. I want to be able to login to Usermanager via any device once I login to the hotspot, without necessarily bypass...

maxcuban

Thanks, it worked.

I thought of that but never bordered to try because I thought that will only upgrade the system I've installed with no additonal packaged installation..

I was wrong.

Thanks again

Hello, I jx set up my license for an x86 router I'm setting up. But I realized that during installation I didn't select to install the hotspot package so now I don't have the Hotspot option - which is the only purpose this router is supposed to serve. I would like to know how I can get the option to...

Hello MattyD, I am the original poster who started this thread. If you are still having this problem, I have a solution that may work depending on the setup you have from your ISP. If your internet installation came with a modem/router, and you able to login try and replace the DNS provided by your ...

Hi everyone, I would like to make changes to one specific error but don't know where to search. Over time we delete some of our vouchers to free up space on the router but occassionally a customer will try logging in with a very old voucher which is already deleted but the hotspot will display: User...

I'm trying to buy a RouterOs license and I've seen some websites selling them below the price listed on the official mikrotik website. For instance a level 5 license is quoted by Mikrotik as $95. But it is quoted on another reseller I've dealt with before as $80 which is understandable since they ma...

When booting your server choose network boot from the BIOS boot menu. I really wish you would explain this in more details.. Let me elaborate on what I think you meant..

Hi everyone, I was able to recover a routerboard by reinstalling the OS using netinstall which had a lot of handy tutorials around to get it done. Now I have an x86 system that I can't have access to because I don't even remotely remember the login details I used since I left it for a while and woul...

For anyone who may have this kind of problem with the rb2011uias-2hnd-in routerboard, the surest way to get rid of this problem is to get access to the router through netinstall and downgrade to v6.10. That is what I did and that is what i have currently which works perfectly for me. Thanks to Honza...

maxcuban

DONT forget - only old revision rb2011 without "i" in the name works with 5.26. Newer revision only with 6.x that's a huge bummer for me because I jx checked and mine is the new type rb2011UiAS-2hnd-in meaning my router is effectively worthless as it stands. The thing has been rebooting s...

All 6.xx versions of routerOS has been causing reboot loop for several minutes to several hours during any power cycle for my RB2011. I've spent countless hours searching on this and it seems to be a problem no one had a definite solution for. even the official mikrotik support response has always b...

What type of load balancing would you do? If PCC, it is possible, but a bit difficult, not to mention the using multiple gateways can disrupt some https website. . As a newbie, what do you think is the easier approach? If I get another RB to do the load balancing then connect it to my current route...

edit: Did you get your router's dns working? If this still fails, you are going to have problems. Upon reading this I decided to place the Google DNS right inside my ADSL router and check. So far everything works well as expected but I'm still monitoring to see if nothing misbehaves but it's being ...

/ip hotspot addresses-per-mac=253 253???!!! must be 2... From my experience, if you have an AP connects a CPE and you have addresses-per-mac to be 2, only two devices from the CPE can connect to the AP. If you want as much devices to be able to connected via the CPE then you can set it to 253 so I'...

Have you tried accessing the internet by ip rather than domain? May be a dns issue. Check your "/ip dns" settings and insure you have "allow-remote-requests=yes". I have allowed remote request but it seems the problem is still coming from the DNS setup. Because 1. when I try to ...

I have managed some hotspots on 5.25, so you should be able to get it working.

hello everyone, I recently bought an RB2011 and I’m expecting my ISP to install a second connection. Can I have the load balancing as well as hotspot setup on the same router?

Thanks mystry7. that is something I wanted to do; update to the latest routerOS and download 'All packages'.

I tried but it didn't work.

Anytime I set up the hotspot and choose 'bridge-local', the router disconnects and I'm unable
to connect via winbox again and have to reset it.

Can you be of further help?

Thanks

sorry, I've been able to make out your instruction and have gotten it working but
I have a different problem and don't know whether you could be of help.

Hi, I purchased a new routerboard RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and when I set up the hotspot, the login page never appears even though it is the same process I've used for all my earlier MT routerboard.

Thanks.

Does this affect all the customers simultaneously or just one clients at a time?

besides, am not even using the built-in wireless and have it already disabled.

maxcuban

i honestly don't know anything about DFS mode but i did a little check and means Dynamic Frequency Selection. From my understanding this mode will scan for the best frequency and the router will associate with it. I don't know how to check whether I'm using DFS mode or not. Neither do i know which o...

First of all, your OS version is rather out of date, that probably doesn't have anything to do with this, but official support, if you chose to use it, will tell you to upgrade to the latest version.
