It's just a reflection to what could be the cause of the problem: Hum... it seems that there is a problem with the way the system is managing the connections for the clients, since Routeros let's you tweek all of the settings, it seems that by default the managment is somewhat not apropriate for mul...
Yes, it all deppends on how much work load you are going to give your routerboard, if it is to much work load, then you should get a PC to do the job. Remember that it is allways better to over-kill than to under-kill... otherwise, you are going to have to spend twise the ammount of time and money ...
---- yes. i suggest you, first time to login in to your router is better when you are using mac-telnet mikrotik's application for. with default id username: [admin] and password: [empty] regards Hasbullah.com ---- hi, i just purchased a routerboard 532a. from my understanding it has an OS already i...
In your hotspot profile try leaving the DNS Name blank Same problem my freind , no login page Yes, this problem is because both hotspot and web-proxy use the same port: port 80, and when they are working at the same time, the nat rule that redirects the traffict from port 80 to the web-proxy is res...
I don't think you can run Hotspot and Web-Proxy at the same time. It can be done :wink: Steps: 1.-Upgrade to latest version 2.-Set the ip for the interface on with the router is goin to run hotspot, like: 192.168.0.1/16 Yo can skip this since I have not done this, it's just an Idea: go to webbox an...
can u give the command? Shure¡¡¡ sorry I took so long, I did not know how to use the Command line before, now I know :D chain=hotspot action=redirect to-ports=3128 in-interface=local dst-port=80 protocol=tcp the interface is the interface on witch the hotspot runs. I know there is a better way to d...
Hello¡¡¡ I am really Happy to see all the posts in this tread¡¡ 8) I did some testings and here are the results: We have the Routerboard 532 with the two cm9 cards in the tower, the antennas are 5 meters apart and connected using LMR-400 cable, we did testings with the sectorial antena, we bypassed...
The basic-rate should be only 1 for 11b and 6 for 11a/g. You should change this back to default and probably reset everything to default if you have played with anything else. If you change any of the more advanced radio settings, you can get no/bad connection and even burn your amplifier and ruin ...
Hello, I got a Routerboard 532 enclosed in an outdoor metal box with 2 cm9 cards, each card has a 30 cm hirose to N-female pigail both pigtails have a N-male to N-male addapter each is connected to 12 Volt DC-injectors and each has amplifiers one is 1 watt and has a 12 dbi omnidirectional antenna an...
Normis, Sorry abbout the odd title name :oops: :oops: I promise It will never happen again. I fixed the problem¡¡¡ I typed on console: 1.- [admin@Mikrotik] > export file configuration 2.- Then I used winbox to download this file (configuration.rsc) to my computer. 3.- I oppened this file with MS-Wor...
Out of all scenarios, out of all bad things that can happen to my MT-BOX... this is THE WORST¡¡¡ I got a Hotspot up and running, It was working strong¡¡¡ but then... I was remotely monitoring the network data flow using a netflow monitor when all the sudden... ALL THE TRAFFIC DROPPED TO CERO¡¡¡¡ I a...
Its hard to put all the steps in here, tell me what is the problem so i can hellp you, give me more details, if posible, post your mikrotik configuration here
Yes, Have your tried this??? Posted by skillfull: "change IP/services/www port to something other than 80. Try 808. Now access usermanager on http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:808/userman" When you have the transparent proxy enabled, all of the incoming stuff to port 80 redirects to the proxy, this b...
Hi... could you explain in general what kind of setup do you have??? Like what kind of services you have enabled, like if you have transparent proxy?? or other feathures. I solved this Issue by changing the service port and the using that port like I descrived above. I know Router Os is kind of comp...
Hi, I got a Router Board 532 with 2 CM9-GP Wireless cards. I am triying to make an Access Point with this. I whant to be able to ping all the Pc's connected to the wireless side of the Ap from the wired side of the ap. In other words, Imagine that I whant to turn this Router Board into a regular AP ...
Yes, I totally agree, User Manager Needs expiration Date for Customers. Rigth now, the customer only gets billed by his uptime, but there is no way to bill him for lets say one month of service. So far that is the most notisable thing User Manager is Lacking. Best Regards: James Edward Sowell Escoth.
Ok dude, your call, if you whant to go with the cards that's fine, but make a test first, get a lap-top or a cpu with a card allredy installed and configured and check if you get a good link, if you get a good link... Congrat's¡¡¡ but if you are not satisfied with the performance, get the ethernet w...
It is close distance, any card should do, but.... I would strongly recomend using an ethernet wireless bridge instead of a pci or USB card, you get much more flexibiliti and reliability from an ethernet wireless bridge, something like a: linksys wrt54g or a wap54g, or an exterasys wap 253 wap 254, o...
Hi, I did not use command line to do this, I used winbox, I solved the problem implementing this: get your web-proxy up and running set it up to transparent mode, then in the firewall you redirect the trafict from port 80 to the port of the web-proxy and you use chain: hotspot. There is documentatio...
Yes, as far as the security issues involved in using wizzards... Why not have the wizard explain you that in advance?? Router Os is a great platform, but it does requiere a good knoledge of networking. It would be really cool if there could be a Cd you put in a pc this cd contains a setup wizard wit...
Hi, I have read that rigth now user manager does not support expiration date (it only supports uptime expiration). Witch it means that when a user is created and lets say he has credit for 30 days (1 month) those 30 days are actually the total ammount of time the user is allowed to be online (uptime...
Can the hotspot clients access the User Manager web Interface? I got the User Manager and the hotspot configured, but when I try to acces the User Manager Web Interface (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/userman) from one of the Hotspot clients, I get this: Error 404: Not Found. If I disble Hotspot, then I can...
Yeah, I bougth the same software: Radius manager, I installed it succesfully, but then when it came time to test it, the radius server would recibe the data from mikrotik, but mikrotik would not recibe the data form the Radius server, in order to fix this issue, you have to firt establish a connecti...
Yes, configuring a router involves a lot of tecnical knoledge, and it all starts with "What are you going to use your router for?", -It could be just to hide some machines from the network -use it like a hotspot -....... the list is virtually endless but there are certain aplications witch...
I was wondering If You guys at Mikrotik could develop a setup wizard for the most common and basic configurations. Something friendly that eaven a novice could use to quickly setup the most common and basic configurations. My Idea of this would be something with a nice graphical interface, real simp...
Hi, I Bougth a flash module with level 6 licence. I have made several testings, and tried all sorts of things... and... RouterOs Outperforms anything¡¡¡¡ I am really curious... How did the Mikrotik proyect started?? Who started this?? How did this wonderfull software came to birth?? I whant to promo...
Yes, I can see in Winbox for the user-profile that it has a transparent proxy option, but witht his option enabled or disabled, I can't see any difference or improvements when I oppen the same web page twise. In the other hand If I use the web-proxy feature, I can see a really great improvement in t...
Hi, I solved my problem.... My Radius server is a Fedora core 6 running freeradius+mysql and some php scripts. If I try to use the freeradius server ... you know... I run radiusd -x or radiusd and and then from another computer connected in the network try to login the hotspot with an account that i...
After a lot of strugle with the hotspot, I found that these steps should set up the initial configuration for a hotspot to work: assuming that your router has no configuration (assuming that you reset it) If you have an internet conection that sends DHCP then in the interface that connects to your I...
Hi, I am triying to implement transparent web-proxy+hotspot+radius authentification. I got hotspot+radius atentification working great¡¡ :wink: but... when I try to implement transparent web-proxy.... The status of the web-proxy shows no activity and It's reflected when I try to oppen a heavy web pa...
Hello, I am triyin to use transparent web proxy for the hotspot clients. I redirected the trafic from port 80 to the web-proxy port on chain pre-hotspot (This is the only thing that would work), but after this configuration is done, when I log out of the hotspot and try to log in, the login page wou...
It could be defective hardware, double check the cables, How long are the UTP cables?? remember that usually 100 meters with out power ober ethernet is the max but with power ober ethernet you can use something like 70 meters
Hi, I am setting up a Hotspot using Freeradius on Fedora Core 6. when I log in the Username and password in my internet browser the following happens: --Freeradius running on Fedora Core 6 with SELINUX and Firewall disabled: 1.- Radiusd -x displays that it it receiving the username and password from...
I have the same problem here, but I cant find the solution. Free Radius is recibing the request and sending the reply to MIkrotik, but Mikrotik is not accepting the reply, You can see the connection in the firewall conection monitor, but mikrotik does not respond to this reply, I tried so many thing...
For the signal strength in your link, I would strongly recommend not to use any cable such as lmr-400 or such, I would recommend to place the card rigth next to the antenas on both ends of you link see... if you use coax cable this will result no only in signal loss but most important it will result...
