is that like a mobil home idea but made out of metal containers? if yes - just make a central cable connection. where i worked, each mobil home had a lan cable going in together with the power cable, and we had a distribution point every 4 mobil homes (so about 60-75m in distance). each mobil home ...

250mbit is as much as mikrotik will give you.
my dyna5 link is as good as it gets and goes 200-220mbit with -55dBm signal.

i have 2 rb260gsp that i took to power my links. both behave the same - they don't turn on more than 1 lan port at a time. i have a hardwired passive poe HAP on the terrace - powered by POE IN and then 4 devices connected to each lan port - and they work fine but are limited to 100mbits. now that i ...

miko385

you're over-complicating things. forget basebox, antennas etc. and forget wap lte at any cost. IF you want to go mikrotik, use a combination of sxt lte (works best out of all their lower cost lte devices) and connect the sxt2 on the port2 on the sxt lte. sxt2 is "directional" but is actual...

miko385

i didn't say anything about 60ghz. you're confusing airfiber with AF60. airfiber is normal 5ghz. LTU is also 5ghz. OP is asking for 500mbit of bandwidth and i, working with mikrotik and ui gear at a local community, didn't ever achieve over 400mbit real life speed on mikrotik gear. PS - af60LR will ...

site to site i don't know how to setup. pptp proved insecure and had many login attempts. i didn't figure how to use non-standard port for pptp, it was 1723 and constantly attacked. so i turned that off. i have ROS 6.48, longterm. i could install v7 on router but not so sure about ptp links, they're...

miko385

there is no way any mikrotik gear now available to be able to push 500mbit of tcp traffic . ac @80mhz with 100% CCQ tops at 400mbits. and that only at about 100-200m distance. after that even with 866mbit sync and 100% ccq it will drop to 300mbits. so, no, mikrotik does not have any gear to transfer...

can someone advise how to setup access to remote aps that are not directly connected to my network? i mounted a few ptp links that are not connected to my network, but are connected to the internet. of course they are behind ISP routers and they're just bridges, not doing any routing. i'd like to be...

miko385

i must say i'm impressed. for test we put up the sat dish, and with a zip tie mounted sxt lite2 on the lnb holder. after some aiming, i got -67dBi receive, and speed is 100mbits on 40mhz channel. i ordered the ldf just so i can fix this more firmly and long term. can't believe that thru a forest i'm...

miko385

Hello again to the forum, i've got a recently installed rural link with junk found around town, more to test the feasibility than production, but in the end it stayed that way and operating successfuly. i have sxt lite2 on one end (AP side) + mikrotik metal2 with 24dBi grid on the other (client side...

miko385

hello , i ask for some advice / help. i have a hex poe lite with the problem that it's not passing over 50-60mbit of traffic between lan ports that are in bridge. the hex poe is "sitting" between 2 ptp links and is bridging together those links, PLUS it's routing internet for the person th...

miko385

i have a problem with rb260gsp , i have 3 devices on poe ports and 1 with no poe. sxt ac holds 1gbit for just a few seconds and then drops on 100mbit. if i force only 1gbit , then there is no link. the cable is about 25m long and i did NOT have such problem with rb260gs using gigabit poe injectors. ...

miko385

i have an ac AP that is now serving 2 clients. priority is high speed to the 1st client, and decent speed to the 2nd client. this was mounted around 2 years ago. ap is a dyna, the clients are ~800m and 1km away in the same direction (around 3 degrees apart from each other). one client is a disc ac, ...

miko385

i have a weird problem which i cannot bypass so i'm here to ask for help. tp-link re200 acting as AP in the living room. perfect speed, 50mbit on 2.4ghz and 95mbit on 5ghz. covers the entire living room,kitchen and terrace. i'm happy. had this toy for 2 years and with 2 laptops , 2 phones and a medi...

miko385

thanks, never used it but i tried and it works well. as soon the main ssid is not available, it connects to the 2nd one. didn't try what happens when the 1st appears again, does it reconnect back or it keeps being connected the 2nd ssid, but at this point it's not important.
thanks

miko385

is it possible to make a setup on a client device (sxt with level3 licence) to add a 2nd ssid the device would connect to if the 1st ssid fails? or do i need to have the same SSID on both aps? i have 2 aps mounted and running on different locations , and the client can "hear" both of them ...

miko385

i was getting some complaints from family that internet "lags" randomly but often. thought it was the 4g connection and didn't really care. after getting fiber and testing on my pc where i had no such problems , i continued to test till i found the culprit - it's the ptp link between us. i...

miko385

gotcha.
had to disable broadcast filtering.

hi, i've upgraded my house equipment to aruba instant aps (iap-207, iap-305, iap-515). they're setup as easy as possible with just 2 wifi networks in pure bridge mode with no vlans or anything fancy - just 1 ssid for 2.4ghz and 1 ssid for 5ghz. (aruba calls that employee access network, unrestricted...

miko385

Please advise, i have 3 omnitiks (in a line - central being the AP on a tower, the other 2 are clients to that omnitik) + i have 1 sxt that is client on the main omnitik. i run normal 802.11n network on a regulatory domain freq, so that i have compatibility with mobile phones. this is not main usage...

miko385

just curious, is the separate setup still "a thing" in AC systems? are there any losses or signal degradations when using ac modulation with "external" antennas? to ask in detail, will a jirous 24dBi antenna + rb922 (922UAGS-5HPacD or similar ac rb) work as good as a normal LHG 5...

miko385

thanks, didn't know about this detail.
so every 497 days it restarts the uptime count, good to know.
i was eager to see 1000 days uptime.
M5 is now in 797 days, will do a screenshot after 1000

miko385

the date in the log is correct - the router rebooted on may 16 / 2020 and has been up since that date. the last item in log (like winbox login) shows today date. but uptime in winbox is reset for some reason. it happened on other machines too, where uptime is reset and starts counting from 0, but de...

miko385

i noticed on 2 of my long time running mikrotiks that their uptime time has been reset, but the devices themselves didn't reboot. noticed that my LHG shows uptime 4 days, while in fact has been running for about 1.5 years. same with another device which has been running over 2.5 years without reboot...

miko385

Hi miko385! I have some trouble to reach that kind of speed in a ptp (https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=177916&p=875846#p875846), can you post your configuration? which models are you using? straightforward , no config at all. reset config, add bridge, bridge ports, and setup a...

miko385

i need advice, on a 8km semi-urban link (center of the city till village-house) , is it better to have MIMO with weaker signal ( 2 x SXT 16dBi) or SISO with stronger signal (1 x SXTsq 5+ 23dBi SISO antenna with metal 5HPn)? needed bandwidth is minimum 15mbit. or maybe SXT + disc5 ? the "AP"...

miko385

tested with sxt ac, but for real outdoor link will use disc 5 ac. minimum price increase for 5dBi better antenna.
ros last long term stable.

miko385

I've been testing mikrotik outdoor ac devices at home (inside the house) and came up with some nice speeds that were quite stable. on screenshot is 802.11ac 80mhz link that is very steady at 420-430mbit. with nv2 i was able to get that a bit higher (450-460mbit peaking at 500mbit). this was done in ...

miko385

@SiB - how do you fit the EM12-G card in mikrotik ? with pci-e to m.2 adapter or you buy a em12 card that is native in pci-e format?
on aliex i found only m.2 card.
thanks

miko385

today i tested that zte modem - no, mikrotik sxt don't see the lte modem at all. no lte device. pity, because the modem is capable of b3+b7, b7+b20 and b7+b7 intraband. i returned the r11e modem and it continued to work normally. with some tweaking i was able to get up to 85mbit downlink. quite happ...

miko385

stumbled upon this topic - i have a similar problem with both of my hap ac lite units. ssid is just not visible. i have it on 2 locations, it takes hours before any client device (staying in the same room) finally see the 5ghz network and then connects. on both routers the freq is 5180, 20/40 ce cha...

miko385

i pulled a pci-e modem out of a cat6 zte router, there is not much info on the modem itself - just "e99006 type2BL".
do you think it could work inside mikrotik too?

miko385

thanks for info, i was looking on wrong places (ebay). i will consider the cat12 in the future. it supports 256qam and is more future proof. sxt is only 100mbit lan, but has 2 x lan ports. so i believe i can do a trunk, eth1+eth2 on sxt, and do the same on hex lite , and this would get me 200mbit la...

miko385

that mini-pcie card is even more expensive than the r11e-cat6... it's waaaay out of my budget. i'll keep the current setup for a while, will see how speeds will be during summer, i hope b7 won't get crowded. we're slowly getting fiber and my street is in plans for 2021 so i plan on getting fiber as ...

miko385

mine is sxt lte , product code RBSXTR, it's the 2g/3g/4g sxt with r11e-lte card inside, but that one is not doing aggregations, it's a cat4 modem. it DOES go faster than ISP routers but i think mostly because it sits outside and has better signal (and it's outdoor device, so much easier to mount out...

miko385

This is how this feature work. Your ISP Public IP is at your main router not as /32 but bigger subnet for pass it to you. LTE unit fix this on his side and this is how they do the trick. Watch more here: Passthrough | Make your LTE interface shine I must say i didn't get anything , the guy was just...

miko385

Hello, i have switched to LTE access and mounted an sxt lte in my location. the easiest way to continue using my network with minimum re-config was to set up sxt lte to use lte passthrough. everything can be seen on the screenshot. i've setup a vlan interface, and selected that vlan to be on eth1 po...

miko385

i re-did the config again, but this time i resetted the hap to factory default with no initial configuration, so it's completely empty. did only minimum config: -dhcp client on wlan1 -wlan 1 in station mode. result: can connect to wifi, hap get IP. then i put wlan1 into station-pseudobridge. it conn...

miko385

edit post: while writting there was another reply... here is the post i wrote before the last topic reply: your explanation is likely correct, but it still didn't help me to fix my problem. i'm not that expert on this "low level" networking stuff as i'm not doing it for a living. it's quit...

miko385

regarding the dhcp client issue - i tried assigning a fix ip to bridge like i do in all my other mikrotiks - and i coudn't ping it anyway nor access the mikrotik via ip. i tried to put only wlan1 and wlan2 in bridge (wlan2 is AP-bridge), and my phone (connected to hap ac lite) wasn't getting the ip ...

miko385

it's station mode ... all interfaces are in bridge. You cannot bridge wireless interface in station mode. You can configure that, obviously, but it won't work. is this some new limitation with new ac devices? on EVERY mikrotik wireless device it was possible to bridge interfaces and connect their w...

miko385

it's station mode. station-bridge is only for mikrotik-mikrotik links, and station for mikrotik-other vendors links. i wasn't 100% clear in the 1 st post - the hap itself connects to the wifi , but there is no communication whatsoever. i resetted it to factory default twice , i was having some rathe...

miko385

please advise - i have (borrowed) a hap ac lite that is meant to be used as wifi client on 2.4ghz and AP on 5ghz , directly connected by cable to my pc and tv box. but whatever i do, it's not connecting to existing tp-link AP i use at home. i noticed the same behaviour in the office where i have the...

i tried to netinstall a remote rb931 (just sitting in a home with easy access but i wanted to try to netinstall it from the far part of the network). anyway - 3 wifi hops away (6 devices) i managed to netinstall it. but i wanted to ask - how long a device will wait in netinstall mode? if i reboot a ...

miko385

tnx, it worked.
upgraded via netinstall from win7 .
i have an even older LHG with v6.34 but on that location i don't have access to the cable so netinstall can't do. it's a wireless relay point only.

miko385

When you do have direct access to the cable running down, you can also set it to "try ethernet once then flash" bootmode, then connect a PC with netinstall and powercycle it. Now you can netinstall it to the current version and configure it from scratch. This way you do not run risks of c...

miko385

hello, i have a sxt mounted up on a pole on a tall building with difficult reach and didn't have courage all these years to update the thing. is it safe to upgrade from that version to current? i have been reading on the forum that there are glitches and bugs in various firmwares and that devices go...

miko385

a bit of a beginner question , i never thought about it. let's say i have a ptp wifi link , does the remaining "stray signal" that goes beyond the client AP interfere with other networks far away or is considered noise? i ran into a problem that someone made a PTP link that is crossing min...

miko385

i'm planning an upgrade on my location, switching in the near future from vdsl to fiber. right now i have a ptmp link (omnitik + 2 sxt). max speed is 90mbit tcp on a 40mhz channel. (sxt -> sxt speed is max 40mbit, usualy 35). the location is getting fiber soon and the slowest package will be 150/75m...

miko385

I have some used LHGac, SXTsq ac, we took down in the last weeks, because of
unsolved problems with ARM Boards, if someone want to get them, feel free to ask,
otherwise we throw them away.

can you send me a mail to miko.sakic (at) gmail dot com? i can't contact you on here.
thank you.

miko385

i'm trying to port forward to all my APs so i can reach them out from network. i have ddns, and can connect to the main mikrotik router that has pppoe on it. when i forward ports, i use dst-nat and enter inbound port, outbound port and ip. that way, for example, i can use ddns.address:port1 to conne...

miko385

and spend 100+ eur ? more like i would like to get info why is omnitik acting so bad? come on, 150m, -50dB signal and it can't go even 100mbit tcp on wifi?? also, mikrotik bw test from sxt to sxt is giving me now cca 30mbit tcp speed, but when i do a speedtest, i can't go above 15-17mbit. even worse...

recently after my direct-link (p2p with 2 x sxt) went dead because of trees getting folliage (it dropped from 25mbit, to 1mbit) , i contacted a local company which owns the tallest building in town, and mounted on the roof an omnitik. i have clear LOS, 1 sxt is 150m from omnitik, the 2nd sxt is cca ...

miko385

nobody? with so many users and years of usage, nobody say anything? it's so nice to have quality support , right?
see the log and comment. as said, signal is around -65dB
