Re: Factory resetting a mAP lite: button and netinstall woes

OK, thanks everyone. After another 20 tries or so I got the device to show the Mikrotik-XXXXXX network, allowing me to get in. First thing I did was (a) to set passwords, (b) to configure the firewall to allow Winbox (port 8291) from any port, so that I'm less likely to be locked out, and (c) to set...

Factory resetting a mAP lite: button and netinstall woes

I have here a mAP lite that I bought from a reseller in Latvia, but I can neither configure nor reset it. I would like to set it to factory defaults, but I can't. I've tried connecting via Winbox using the MAC addresses printed on the device, but nothing happens. I'm running OpenSUSE Linux on my Thi...

Winbox display scaling on Linux/Wine for HiDPI screens

I'm using Winbox via Wine on Ubuntu 19.04 on a Thinkpad X1 with a 2560x1440 HiDPI screen. The display resolution is set to 192 dpi. However, I'm having a hard time to get Winbox displayed properly under Wine on this display Unfortunately Winbox is unaware of the Linux display scaling. As a result, w...

OK, so I've been experimenting a bit and the problem seems to be related to the country settings.

Re: CAPsMAN - can't get 5GHz band on wAP ac to work [SOLVED]

Your 5GHz is running on 5785 MHz (157 Channel) - not all devices and not in all countries support channels 149,153,157,161. Try changing to 5150 – 5250 MHz Interesting, thanks. When I try to set the channel manually, it looks like the change never gets pushed to the AP: [admin@MikroTik] > /caps-man...

Check the status tab of the 5Ghz interface. Is it in state running-ap?
Both are in status running-ap. The 2.4GHz interface has last link up & down times, the 5GHz interface doesn't:

CAPsMAN - can't get 5GHz band on wAP ac to work [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm using a RB750Gr3 as CAPsMAN and a wAP ac as CAP. I have a problem getting the wAP ac to broadcast on both bands. Devices can only the 2.4GHz SSID. I've been following the Wiki and threads here ( this , this ). I am trying to provision the two radios separately. See the CAPsMAN configuration ...

Re: Netwatch never invokes script

One of the routerOS updates KILLED the ability to run a script from netwatch.

Solution... put the entire script in netwatch in the up or down field.
Thank you. I'll try this as soon as I get back to the device in question.

It would be really good if these things were documented.

Re: Netwatch never invokes script

OK, so instead of using Netwatch I now use the scheduler to invoke the tunnel endpoint updater every few minutes.

It works, but I would still like to know what the problem with Netwatch was.

Netwatch never invokes script

Hi everyone, I use a RB750Gr3 running 6.42.6 for a home network. My ISP provides IPv4 only, so I use a Hurricane Electric tunnel to get IPv6. I configured IPv6 according to the instructions in the wiki . Since my IPv4 address is dynamic, the IPv6 tunnel goes down every time the IPv4 address changes....
