Re: v6.46.5 [stable] is released!

Hello, I have updated my 2 home devices from 6.45.1 - Hex S and cAP ac. There is no problem with Hex S, but cAP ac has rebooted several times since then: Router was rebooted without proper shutdown by watchdog timer. According to dude, these reboots occurred seemingly at random intervals (20, 6, 7.5...

Re: Minimum size of MicroSD card on hEX for the Dude? [SOLVED]

How much space is used up on your SD card (assuming you have it configured)? My gut tells me that it's not even going to reach 1GB, but I want to be sure. It depends on how many devices you would like to monitor. For example, I have 8 GB card in my hEX S at home and it is being reported as 7.5 GiB ...

Re: Accessing internal server using external ip address from internal network

You have 2 options: 1 - Hairpin NAT (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Hairpin_NAT) - basically, it would translate external address to internal address of the server when accessed from internal network. 2 - Use static DNS in router so that the domain name will resolve to internal address when called f...

Did you have a look at https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1036-8G ... estresults ?
According to test results, it can handle it under certain circumstances. With packet size of 1400 bytes, it should not be a problem, but packet size in real conditions depends on your scenario.

Re: Tunnel which generates least traffic when IDLE

Not a bad idea, but to get even smaller idle data size, another idea: Use scripting+scheduler to try to connect to special TCP port on your router (using telnet). If this fails, do nothing - only data sent is SYN request, just a few bytes. When you want remote router to dial in, simply open this po...

You could _make_ yout own dial ondemmand. You could make a script in remote Mikrotik to send HTTP GET request and based on the result you could enable tunnel interface (and thus dial the tunnel). Then you would have to schedule that script to run every hour or so and voila :) What I don't know is ex...

Re: Which RB devices are upgraded to have USR LED and MODE button?

Is cAP ac considered SOHO device? It has mode button when used with circle enclosure (the square one covers it with solid plastic so it is not push-able).
hEX S also has mode button, but it doesn't have wifi.

Out of curiosity: What is your use case for multiple mode buttons?

Re: HEX S settings on WAN

On WAN interface, you must set an address from same subnet as LHGs and set up correct gateway (to be able to use internet). If DHCP is used on WAN side, just enable DHCP client for ether1 interface. If not, set up address manually - for example 192.168.88.4 should work (if not used by some other dev...

Re: hap lite works fine but not reachable from LAN

I would expect an IP conflict - when your router assigne the same ip to a device as you assigned to your hAP Lite.

Try to connect to it via winbox by MAC address (you can find MAC address on a sticker somewhere on you hAP Lite).
