Hi 44alphabet

As a beginner I am impressed!
When you look with Winbox.exe are the servers enabled? you seem to have missed disabled=no from the howto /ip dhcp-server section

Let us know how you get on

Hi all Running hAP ac2 (6.48.3) as main home router from bridged modem to HFC internet. I would like to be able to turn on and off lte (auto configured) on the usb via script but have been unable to achieve this. Upgrade was faultess but I think the bugs had been removed before I did it reading the ...

Hi all

mea culpa as per usual. turns out seeing 0.0.0.0/0 and changing it to fixed ip in QuickSet not a great idea. It is what changed ether1 back to being WAN port. My apologies for not picking up my error.

Hi all I am trying to set up lte disabling enabling via netwatch (after checking to see if already disabled/enabled) the interface name is mylte. currently using 6.44.3 (stable) and hAP ac2 in terminal/cli /interface disable mylte and /interface enable mylte work fine however as scrips only enable w...

Hi all

upgraded to hAP ac2 to 6.44.3(stabe) and it does not remember which ethernet is attached to WAN/LAN on restarts, Defaults back to ether1 (POE in port so not available for internet modem). Addresses and routes similarly default to ether1 on reboot.

cheers

Many thanks for advice,

Have placed rule after default drop everything else rule and it does pick up some packets (to my surprise). Will check my default drop everything else rule is configured correctly.

Will try and see what happens over a day or so.

Hi Gurus Turned allow remote requests on (advice regarding something or other in forums). I was surprised to see enourmous outbound traffic (15 to 60 Gb per day) to the point I was notified by my ISP about using all my bandwidth. I re instated the firewall (using drop everything else rule) but when ...

Hi JazZSuperman oops my comments were for a lte interface, re read your post and realised that dynamic script should not be an issue. If you only need failover then:: Just set the ip route distance on ethernet2 subnet to be > than the route distance on ethernet1 (likely to be 0 or 1 as it will likel...

Hi all, quick work around script based via netwatch open to improvements corrections Simple guide to lte failover without load sharing for those of us with limited mobile data plans Assumptions Main provider is "ISP1" - DNS 111.111.111.211, configured on ether1 lte provider irrelevant as l...

Hi WeWiNet Are you sure this is right? Is not what is proposed in the PCC load balance (and failover is secondary to that). OP wants failover and when I put this in my system I continue to see activity on the lte interface, I suspect due to the default route taking precedence over any static routes ...

Hi all Bought another dongle and installed on spare hap ac lite (destined for boat far away dongle to be used currently on boat in third hap), and this one works according to distance set on lte interface not apn interface(both primary lte and apn have distance parameters to set. Works 6.4.34 and 6....

Oops forgot details
6.43.7 stable and hAP ac lite
sorry

HI Gurus I am very impressed with automagic lte usb dongle config but would like to adjust the route distance as the lte created has a distance of 0 in my route table and my primary internet defaults to 1.. I have briefly managed this previously but lost it on upgrades/reboots/interface restarts. Th...

Most non script efforts are defeated by MT dynamic route which does not allow for editing. If the distance of the failover let or whatever is higher then it only kicks in if primary wan down. For late use dhcp client as per spider web solutions. Set distance higher than 2. 3 needed on my hap ac2 Che...

Hi Zuku I had this issue with openvpn linux server windows client for backups (big ones several hundred meg) and synchronisation.. Have you tried a workaround eg rsync, allows partials, restart and compression but learn the windows switches (time stamps are different to unix and osx). Ports to windo...

Oops
Backup
Reset to factory default First!

For easier technique (for newbies like me) turn off router plug internet into desired port turn on router check the automatic configuration under bridge add ethernet1 AND make sure your new WAN attached ethernet port is removed from the bridge prettyness addition: rename your ehternetX port to WANet...

Hi Gurus/support and coding wizards

HAP AC2 upgrade went fine, love the removal of need for master ethernet port, bridge now makes sense to me and assigning alternate ethernet port to internet works automagically!

thanks
Chris new MT fan

Hi hardware gurus Have a steel boat and metal 52 ac will be on a metal pole clamped to superstructure (rather than built in mast). I have read the howto grounding linked from a newbie question about using them on a boat but am unclear how to access routerboard within case for mounting ground wire. T...

Many thanks for explanation

Hi gurus and other forum users I have a HAP ac2 acting as primary lan router with bridged internet modem currently on ether1 (I think this may be the only POE in port) I want to use POE to power the HAP from my UPS in another room (supplying a subnet router). Can I move the internet cable to another...
