I have a Groove 52 ac (US version) that I am attempting to connect to a public wifi but it would not find the access point. After doing some research, I realized it isn't showing up because the public wifi AP is using channel 52 which is centered on 5260 and the US version of the Groove is locked to...

Does RouterOS have a Safe Boot or Minimal Boot method that can be enacted when a wireless radio is causing the system to lockup or reboot when initialized? If not, it would be nice to have a feature based on a method of power cycling the unit that it would do a minimal boot which would boot the rout...

Brad

Is there a way to set up RouterOS to attempt to boot from Network Boot Server for 5 or 15 seconds before timing out and booting like normal? When looking at the Routerboard Settings in Winbox, I see "try-ethernet-once-then-nand" but I want it to behave this way on every boot not just once....

add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=10.1.2.70 to-ports=1433 in-interface=Cox src-address=65.65.65.65 dst-address=98.98.98.98 dst-port=1433 protocol=tcp

98.98.98.98 is the static IP through the local ISP
65.65.65.65 is the IP I am attempting to trust to allow connections through from it

Brad

If I create the rule without a SRC address, I can telnet to the port. If I create it with the SRC address, I cannot telnet to the port even from the IP that is the trusted IP.

Brad

I tried that but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Brad

Is it possible to create a NAT that can only be used from a trusted IP or trusted range of IP's? I am needing to create a NAT for a SQL server on TCP 1433 but I don't want to open the port for the entire Internet, just from a trusted IP range where I am going to have a developer needing direct acces...

Will the SR9 card work in a RB112? I was thinking about getting a couple to setup a PtP link to do some testing but wasn't sure if the RB112 could provide the necessary power requirements for the card?

Thanks

Can someone (possibly from MT) please explain how the noise-floor information is calculated? I can run a snoop or freq-usage and find the absolute worst channel to operate on, setup my wlan on it and MT shows a -98 noise-floor and then change to a clear channel (low bandwidth usage) and it shows a -...

I have several AP's running WRAP.2C's with SR2's and most of them show "current-tx-powers: 1Mbps:26,2Mbps:26,5.5Mbps:26,11Mbps:26" which I would assume to be correct. I have one that shows: "current-tx-powers: 1Mbps:16,2Mbps:16,5.5Mbps:16,11Mbps:16" All systems are on 2.9.12 and ...

I setup a new MT box and am getting the following error in the system log on each boot:

failed to open DB: unable to open database file

I can't find any information on this error message in the forums or documentation.

My setup:
WRAP.2c
SR2 (wifi card)
128MB Flash
Basic config with Hotspot enabled

I omitted the SSID and MAC addresses of everything, I assume the frequency and signal is all you were interested in FREQ SIG 2412 -78 2412 -74 2412 -84 2422 -79 2422 -77 2422 -91 2427 -79 2432 -81 2437 -92 2437 -80 2437 -79 2437 -90 2437 -79 2437 -90 2437 -92 2447 -85 2447 -74 2457 -88 2462 -90 2462...

I upgraded to 2.9.12 on one of my production systems which uses an omni and seems to constantly be fighting interference issues to take a look at some of the new noise features in MT but they don't seem to be working as I would expect them to. As an example, if I run the Frequency Usage tool, it sho...

After making this change, I lost about 4-5 db across all my CPE. Is this to be expected with this change to make the card run more stable? I previously was set to "All rates fixed: 30"

I assume no response means this should be expected?

I spent several hours configuring dude for our network environment last week (v0.1 b14) and it ran fine all week being stopped and restarted a few times throughout the week. The computer that is running the Dude lost power due to a power outage and now when it boots back up, when I try to start the ...

This issue seemed to be related to a bad U.FL pigtail. When I replaced the pigtail on the SR5, the system started booting properly and showing the wireless cards.

Brad

I configured a Routerboard 512 with an SR2 & SR5. Connected pigtails, LMR, antenna, etc on the ground and tested everything. Everything was working fine until the equipment made it to the top of the tower and got mounted. Now when I login with Winbox, the only interface that shows up is the Ethe...

Brad

I see what you are talking about.. in 2.8, there was a TX bit rate setting and a seperate RX bit rate setting, you are saying to just combine both of those into the Rate Limit by doing 512000/256000? It seems like it was much more explanatory in 2.8 as it actually says RX bitrate in bit/s. Now it ju...

Brad

Can anyone from MT confirm the use of this feature?

Brad

In 2.8, I was able to set TX and RX rate limits per profile but in 2.9, that does not appear to be an option. Does this mean I will have to do my rate limiting on each individual user instead of just applying a "512k/256k profile" which already had the rate limits in it to the users?

Brad

What is the login for Winbox?

Brad

The customer needs to be able to have seperate public IP's that will be assigned to 2 different boxes both running web servers on port 80.

Brad

Is it possible to provide a range/block of IP's via a single PPPoE account? Assuming it is possible to do this via MT, do I need a special router on the other end to support multiple IPs? I have never seen a lower end Trendnet or Linksys router that would support NAT on multiple IPs.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad

I have always heard not to do any lower than -55 (at the AP) and don't do any higher than -75 on either end. Of course we have a few customers with -79 and one with -85 that have very few problems but do have some packetloss here and there. Doesn't affect basic web surfers. Would be interesting to s...

Can someone from MT please elaborate on the following change from the changelog for v2.8.19?

*) added - wireless disconnect workaround and better powersave handling;

Thanks!

Brad

I noticed one of the changes in the changelog for v2.8.18 was: "fixed - WDS disconnect/reconnect". Can I get some more info on this? I have a WDS link that has been fairly problematic but I always assumed it was due to the WDS client on the other end. What are the characteristics of the or...

Brad

My keep-alive is also set to 10. I am running 2.8.12. What version are you running?

Brad

I got it fixed. The issue was that I needed to assign the DHCP server to listen on the Bridge1 interface which was created during the process of setting up the WDS. I also had to set PPPoE to listen on the Bridge1 interface to get existing clients reconnected via PPPoE.

Brad

I have this issue as well and it drives me insane. My associations don't drop off, just the PPPoE sessions themselves. I will have about 10-12 of a total of 14 all drop at the same time and then they just randomly come back as a packet is sent from their connection that causes their router to reconn...

Has anyone had any luck doing WDS to an Interepoch IWE1100-T? I haven't ever played around with WDS but I went through the steps at "MT Manual - Section: How to make a Wireless Bridge, using WDS?" and I am not having any luck. The Bridge side of the IWE seems to be connecting according to ...

Has there been a solution found for controlling sector writes? We are just launching service and already have around 1093208 total writes on our RouterBoard system. It doesn't seem to be growing very fast now so it may have been something we done before, but it does seem to grow about 8-16 writes if...
