I see a box for enable-nstreme in the Nstreme tab of Wireless. I don't know what it's supposed to do. If I set the bridge side of a PTP link to nstreme in "Wireless Protocol", it looks like I get nstreme regardless of whether or not this switch is checked, so what difference does the switch make? Th...

I think maybe I didn't state this entirely clearly. If you have a :local in a script outside ALL curly brackets, its behavior is nondeterministic. For deterministic behavior, put one set of curly brackets around the entire text of the script. And yes, once you have a nicely deterministic variable, i...

Figured out that, for whatever reason, on RouterOS 6.43.7 on an RB4011, it will fail that way if run in verbose mode. If I don't run in verbose mode it works fine. If anyone has an explanation that would be great. I've seen weird things happen in verbose mode that didn't happen when not in verbose ...

@man: You can always create completely new user and disable/delete original "admin". +1 I agree. Deleting "admin", even if it has a pwd from hell is that much more secure.

Somehow, this doesn't feel "solved"... :( I'm trying to use the MikroTik link calculator on a pair of existing QRT 5 ac units, to make sure the results agree with current reality before doing the calculations for a planned upgrade.

It looks like I'm going to have to walk the greater part of this complaint back. Although the problem occurs sporadically on other USB/Ethernet adapters, it seems my particular problem was caused by one containing the AX88179 chip.

I see a particular failure mode in netinstall very often. The router model comes up, I select it, I select the packages to load, I hit the install button. A fast message blips on the bottom line and immediately disappears, words to the effect of "sending proposal to router" (sorry, I don't remember ...

The NATting shouldn’t make a difference one way or the other. In a home network, any device can choose to use any DNS server; they all go through NAT, and it all works. The only difference in your configuration is that you have a device that needs to be fed a custom DNS value instead of having an op...

The registration strength information you published is for the AP side I believe, from the board ID in the window header. What is the same information from the CPE? If you have 15 users on Nanostations and only one exhibiting this misbehavior, change out the CPE. It's not worth beating yourself up o...

macsrwe

Yes, I understood all that. You have a lovely layer-2 connection with no layer-3 connection at all. That’s why you should look at your routing. I would treat the frequency thing as a red herring unless I made double sure that the CPE was connecting with the same AP in both cases. Sent from my iPhone...

macsrwe

Very cool solution, if it works reliably. The wiki doesn’t even hint that this is a possibility, or that the networks will necessarily be matched in order of specificity. But I will certainly remember it.

I haven’t personally tried this, but I think the cleanest way to do it is to obtain the MAC address of your IPTV box, assign it a static IP address in /ip dhcp-server lease, and set the DHCP-options field according to the IANA standard (link provided in wiki) to denote a custom DNS server for that d...

macsrwe

How strange. When I read your symptom, my first thought was that you just had an incorrect routing table in the CPE that was causing ping responses to get lost. But the information about frequency ranges complicates this diagnosis. I see that you have WDS active. Is there any possibility that changi...

I purchased 20 PowerBox Pro's and on my taller towers I am having problems with POE output on them when I get above 2 ports powered by the box. Why has Mikrotik not commented on this?

Resolution: I replaced the 100' armored CAT5 POE cable carrying 24VDC with 12ga armored "parking deck" cable fed into the barrel power connector. System health now reports 23.8V and port 5 problem is now gone.

What IP address are you testing from ? I can look at the fw logs and see if your IP address shows up in there.

Strange, I found out, if I disable fast forward then fast path packets are counting. I suspect this is hardware related.

With low voltage poe there is a limit - 1A (1000mA) thru ethernet port/cable. If you power your power-box from another poe-out device, than this limit clearly apply to your case. Also I see that you have only 20.6 volts on poe-out-voltage. Do you use stock power adapter (24v @ 2.5A, you should see ...

macsrwe

That's a good question. I think it's via port 1, but there were some cabling changes about five months ago and it's possible we switched to the jack. I'm about 75% sure it's still the ethernet POE in.

I'm not sure why this would make a difference, so please enlighten me as to why you asked.

Last night, I had a short-haul link go out (SXT lite5 ac, powered by a PowerBox Pro) that's been running fine for about a year. I found that it came back if I forced POE on, but I don't understand why. It is, in fact, on the last interface on the PowerBox, suggesting power budget triage, but I can't...

The only bootloop possible is one caused by the new bootloader not being properly written. Which didn't happen to me on 30-40 RC updates. MikroTik put out a release about six months ago where the "new available firmware" field always showed up as blank. Boot loop. I use a more cautious approach in ...

It is equally "stupid" to assume that he is claiming that a routable IP is not available at his edge router, else remote maintenance of his network would be problematic. If he can administer it, he can install Dude hardware inside it. You have a nice day, too.

"Lack of public IP" is an ambiguous phrase. Sometimes it is used to mean "RFC-1918 address." Other times it is used to mean "addressable but not static." /ip cloud solves the latter problem; if your public IP can change at whim, you cannot solve this problem using only port forwarding. My suggestion...

macsrwe

It solves the "lack of public IP" problem. Solving the NAT problem is simply a port forwarding rule. I run systems configured just this way, it's not difficult.

macsrwe

/ip cloud is usually used to solve this need; set up once and forget.

It has improvements in security, responsiveness and expandability.

Are you sure it’s not a customer machine downstream somewhere that is infected? If you are NATting, your ISP is just going to see it coming from your MikroTik device, and he will have no way to realize that it’s coming from somewhere else inside your network.

How is bandwidth allocated if I don't explicitly use some sort of a queue? Let's say my router has 10 Mbps available to it (provided by my ISP), and 5 computers are connected to it, and all five are downloading files from a source that is capable of serving more than 10 Mbps (i.e. enough to saturat...

macsrwe

Tried everything you suggest. Didn't help..

After you download, the packages should appear in /files. Verify this. After you reboot, are those packages still in /files, or are they gone?

I have seen this happen if the NTP server is returning funky values or if there are multiple alternate servers that are not synced.

macsrwe

If he’s trying to create a wireless access point, as he agreed, setting the wireless interface to station mode isn’t going to help him.

macsrwe

Don’t expect to ping anything or get anywhere from inside the 912. Like I said, it’s a dumb bridge, it doesn’t have any routes, and it doesn’t know how to get anywhere. But everything that connects to its wireless service will find its way out to its ethernet, and that’s all you need. Certainly ther...

Let me restate your problem to make sure I understand it. You’re trying to add an RB 912 to your current SOHO router as a wireless access point. If this is true, you are just overthinking the problem. Configure the 912 with its wireless and ethernet ports bridged together. Don’t configure any routin...
