Hi,

What happend to the signature? I says it can only contain 1 character and the one set doesn't seem to show up.

LucZWFM

Hi,

I installed ROSv7.11beta7 X86. After the system booted I was able login via local keyboard.
The router does not get an IP address on any interface, nor it is detected by Winbox.

What am I doing wrong?

LucZWFM

For me PPP is broken on a RB 2011, RB3011 and a RB941.
Anyone with the same issue?

LucZWFM

Hi all,

How can I change with a script, what interface the LCD will show?

Thanks!

LucZWFM

Please keep on topic, tnx

LucZWFM

Hi,

Is there a way to upload files from RouterOS via SFTP?
I have tried what I have found on the forum but nothing seems to work.
/tool fetch should be able to do it it seems, but I can not get it to work.

Any idea's?

Thanks!

LucZWFM

I would love to test this! How can I get the programme?

LucZWFM

For as far as I know, since firmware version ??? the two devices you want to run a test on must have the same firmware version.

LucZWFM

Yes that is what I mean... I want to buy one of these but didn't see any status LED's on the image so I was wondering...

Thanks!

LucZWFM

Hi MikroTik...

I am looking at the CRS326-24G-2S+RM but can't see any status LED's. Does this device have any?
Are they some kind of hidden?

Thanks...

LucZWFM

Yes, it was a misunderstanding :-) And no, you cannot export a single entry of a menu tree, text processing is your only workaround available if you limit yourself to RouterOS scripting (plus there is some maximum text file size which can be converted into a string variable and processed). You can ...

LucZWFM

You can use ssh to execute scripts on a remote Mikrotik, even using a key-based authentication and even from within a script, but unfortunately if you schedule such script, the ssh part of it fails (whoever can prove me wrong is welcome). Besides, if you write a script to export your scripts and im...

LucZWFM

/system script export file=all-my-scripts

import file-name=all-my-scripts

Same with /system scheduler or any other part of the configuration.

Thanks!

Can it be done with only one script or schedule?

LucZWFM

Yes. Use export and import commands.

I understand that, but I don't have any clu of them...
Syntax example please?

LucZWFM

And change all the passwords.

Of course, I forgot that...

LucZWFM

Is it possible to export scripts and schedulers and then import them in another device?
Now I have to copy/paste all the time so an export / import way would be very welcome.

LucZWFM

I would reset the device to factory defaults and load a recent backup.

LucZWFM

Put a switch between the devive and PC and netinstal will work...

LucZWFM

When doing netinstall, put a switch between the device and PC.. That will work...

LucZWFM

Why wouldn't netinstall work? Put a switch between the device and PC and try again...

LucZWFM

Upgrading doesn't help. It has this problem for a long time already, and no upgrade has ever solved this. Maybe a netinstall will solve it? To me it looks like a corrupted or missing .hmtl or .php file. I am not sure if an upgrade always contains te web pages of webfig? I'll try a netinstall tomorro...

Nice idea!

I shall follow this topic...

LucZWFM

Maybe this wil help you: (cli) Description of menu items in loader screen -- File New - Create new managed router list in specified location Open - Open managed router list file Save As - Save current managed router list to file Exit - Exit Winbox loader Found here: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Ma...

LucZWFM

Did you connect the device directly to a PC's LAN port? In windows this will not work
because the NIC doesn't come up due to that the the router's NIC isn't up. Connect the
router via a switch to the PC that you are running netinstall from this will bring up the
PC's NIC so it can do a netinstall.

LucZWFM

Hi,

I know of this command: /interface wireless registration-table print to get some info about the wireless interface.
What is does not show is the SNR value, is there a sort of same way to read the SNR value on the wireless
interface?

Thanks...

LucZWFM

I wonder if he found a solution over the past 3 years...

LucZWFM

-88 / -90 isn't that much signal strenght, this could be the cause...

LucZWFM

What are you trying to do and why? Do you want people to lose their data? If you are simply worried about data usage, why not just make download limit, instead of blocking important sites?

I agree with you, but he might have a good reason... I wonder...

LucZWFM

For Google drive you could try to block access to 172.217.20.78 by firewall. Not sure if will work. thanks for replay and idea just which ip adress google and apple ? Google drive uses at least 172.217.20.78. Since I do not own or use Apple devices I can not help you with Apple. I will try for Goog...

LucZWFM

For Google drive you could try to block access to 172.217.20.78 by firewall.
Not sure if will work.

LucZWFM

Yes, make it a habit to always turn on SafeMode when you connect to a device.
Perhaps it would be better if safe mode defaulted to On instead of Off then?

Not sure if every admin will like that, so I would leave it to the admin wether he wants to enable it or not.

LucZWFM

What exactly do you mean and what will the purpose be?

LucZWFM

Connect the device to PC via a switch and try netinstall again...

LucZWFM

Connect the router to pc via a switch and try netinstall procedure again....

LucZWFM

Very hard to say... If there is no logic reason related to configuration, I would try anohter power supply.
I have seen defective power supplies causing routers to reboot or freeze before. No harm in trying.

LucZWFM

I think that nice feature would be to have Webfig's menu at the left fixed so that it does not scroll
out of the screen when one is going through a long page like the log. It avoids having to scroll back
to go to another menu item.

Or am I just lazy?

LucZWFM

There also is the undo feature b.t.w....

LucZWFM

Yes, make it a habit to always turn on SafeMode when you connect to a device.

I have learned the hard way... But still I have to force myself to use it...

LucZWFM

I'd like to request you add validation against the remove function across RouterOS.
So that, idiots like myself won't accidentally remove important objects in their router.

You can use safe mode for that...

LucZWFM

I ended up manufacturing custom fins, works for both CCR1072 and others.

Looks very good and solid...

LucZWFM

Feature request: please disable/hide partitioning menu in Winbox on devices, which don't support partitioning. Q: What happens if I create partition on device, which doesn't support it? (I'm afraid to try, but I'd like to know...) I have been thinking about how nice it would be to hide unsupported ...

LucZWFM

A: you will get error message and nothing happens. Don't be afraid and try it.

LucZWFM

So I still would check DHCP... let’s say I didn’t have enough lease, or better, let’s say I didn’t have a DHCP server at all. Why would it prevent client to join the ap? Wouldn’t they be able to join letting them configure an ip like 169...... ? IP's like these are giving to an interface by Windows...

LucZWFM

DHCP etc is not a concern.
You should check what is the WiFi speed. 60 devices connected to one AP .... expect low speeds.

His issue is that no more clients are acccpeted, not the speed. So I still would check DHCP...

LucZWFM

I have noticed that when I update our DNS via ChangeIP, the user agent is identified as
Mikrotik/5.x while we run 6.41.2. Of course this is not a real serious issue. I just wonder
if this is caused by the DNS tool or by ROS. It would look better if it identifies it self correctly.

LucZWFM

We use DC converters on our HAM radio repeater sites to power some Raspberry Pi's
and never experience any problems with it. Most of these converters can handle
upto 24/30 volts on their inputs... but to be sure, always check the specs before you
apply power to it...

By links over water, just choose the biggest Antennas you could mount, if your Budget allows that.

Over the Water you will see thermal effects that interfere your link!

This indeed is true, many people don't know. A friend of me recently experienced this thermal effect on his over water link...

LucZWFM

That file is almost 4 Megabytes. Many RouterOS devices have 16MB total storage size.

Does the file need to be on the router? I know dd-wrt have this feature to see a vendor behind a MAC...
I guess they check it somewhere online... ??

LucZWFM

Kackele was banned already for 1 day. Hope he will stay calm after that.

Thanks...

LucZWFM

What do you guys think of adding new feature in Winbox which would check first six signs of a MAC address and display which company is bound to this MAC? I'd would see this as new column in DHCP Server for example. This would be great timesaver! Builtin OUI search within Winbox. MAC address databas...

LucZWFM

P.S. I could also tell how RouterOSes without passwords are found and "hacked" so quickly, but for that information I would require some little gift from Mikrotik. Like an SXT LTE or maybe something cheaper, dunno...

Yeah right...

LucZWFM

There is a script somewhere on the internet, for beginners or something, that creates a full user "router", puts admin in write group, but doesn't change admins password! That crap should be taken down! I have seen a ton lame routers like that on the internet, with roque DNS servers and V...

LucZWFM

Post IP.

No.. don't...

LucZWFM

Even if that is possible, that would just be plain stupid.

Well actually using an omni-antenna is too...

Using an omni antenna is deffenitly not stupid at all, think about situations where clients from various locations have to connect to it.

LucZWFM

Every product has it's pro's and cons...
It's simple, if you don't like a product then don't buy or use it...
One should adore MikroTIK for their products against these prices...

LucZWFM

LucZWFM

Today, after upgrading to 6.41.2 my RB2011iL-RM is in a bootloop. There is no
way of recovering it. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I tried netinstall but
the routerboard does not show up what ever I try.

Any idea's?

LucZWFM

What modem? Why 192.168.0.1? The default IP for most Mikrotik's devices is 192.168.88.1

The reset button is the problem not reset contacts. This is a well know design problem.

LucZWFM

If there is no visible damage, there is no specific suggestion.

I have already checked for specific damage and did not find anything serious,
so I am afraid it's a hardware defect. Memmory chip?

LucZWFM

Do they lose some settings, or all of them? Is the device like from factory, when you reboot it?

You can use some PCB cleaner to clean it, or, if there is heavy corrosion, maybe some solderin...
