I updated a factory-fresh hEX PoE lite last night, going from 6.30.2 to 6.33rc37 and experienced an instant reboot loop. A netinstall down to 6.33rc36 resolved the issue. FYI. --Brad

There were numerous complaints about this in the v6.31 topic. I have not written to support, because I have only 1 affected device. It is not reachable (can't login to make supout) and I can not powercycle it. I am waiting for some power outage so I can log in and upload older or newer fixed router...

It'll be a resistor, fairly low Ohm value. I don't have a RB411AH immediately at hand right now, but if I happen across one tonite at the bench, I'll try to get you a more exact answer. But, if you're in a hurry, I'd probably consider replacing it with something in the 5-10 Ohm range. That resistor ...

Sadly the answer is always a "no" from mikrotik about this most requested feature. On the other hand, in every RouterOS release with new features, I wonder who the hell requests those new features which are useless at all like SMB. WTF ? Who uses it on a router ? And think about fastpath ...

Do not you think that there are firewalls? ovpn and is the only solution The top two reasons I use it between sites, as well as for remote access: UDP transport - stateless, with very few (if any) issues passing through a firewall Basic routing support - ability to push routes to clients or other s...

Too short? Since when can a cable be too short? This is new to me... :o Actually, the National Semiconductor DP83815 and DP838156 Ethernet silicon had hardware related issues with short cables. There is a setting specifically for those cards in ROS - see http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interfa...

I would agree that a RB1000 is overkill for the bandwidth you need to process for a satellite connection. I would consider looking at a RB450G or RB600A as cheaper, capable alternatives. You mention that up to 50 clients would be connected for the primary purpose of VoIP service over a satellite con...

I don't have another install to check this on, but I just ran into a strange issue with Dude. If I open a Mikrotik Device from the device tree (properly configured with both RouterOS password and SNMP), go to the RouterOS tab, and then go to either the ARP or Neighbor tabs, the IP is shown with a re...

This is a function that could be added via MetaRouter running a third-party image such as OpenWRT. However, it would require that other hardware interfaces (serial, parallel, USB endpoints) be allowed to be attached or exposed to the MetaRouter virtual machine. That could be the real issue, and I ha...

Agreed, it isn't a substitution for WiFi, but it is a suitable alternative to a wired USB or serial connection. The most obvious example I can think of is using Bluetooth to link (tether) a cell phone to a RouterOS box allowing the phone to be used as a modem "wirelessly". In this mode, th...

This is beginning to look a lot like a RouterOS bug. I setup a MetaROUTER instance under v3.23 and waited (and waited and waited) for it to start - it didn't. I tried to manually enable/start it - no joy. So, I deleted the MetaROUTER instance and downgraded my RB450G to v3.22. Once booted into v3.22...

bradg

OK, I could use some help here, either I'm missing something, or MetaROUTER, v3.23, and a RB450G is broken. I have a fresh RB450G that came with v3.22, and was just upgraded via the "all packages" method to v3.23. Packages gps, ipv6, mpls, multicast, ups, and wireless are disabled - all ot...

What is "current-ofdm-errors" and "current-cck-errors" ? Basically, CCK errors = 802.11b mode data rate errors, OFDM errors = 802.11g mode data rate errors Reducing the allowable data rates in both b and g mode may help your situation some, but the card proximity issues can only...

Howto solve problem with link degradation?

Don't run two radios in the same frequency band (2.4GHz) in the same enclosure or on the same board.

bradg

If you've been at this awhile (or intend to be), sooner or later you will find that having multiple (same frequency band) radios in the same board/enclosure isn't the pancea you thought it would be. I could see a PPC based 16 ethernet port RouterBoard being fairly useful in a MTU application, howeve...

Well, to start with, ROS *is* the OS generally speaking. You could run ROS inside a virtual machine running on Windows, but why? Search the forums for CDMA and EVDO, as well as the hardware compatibility list, and you'll find quite a bit of information. One topic to browse is http://forum.mikrotik.c...

To MT Support: Guys, listen up - when you have a confirmed issue with something as basic and widely used as NAT, it would behoove you to put out a new release - even if as jcremin said was the ONLY fix in it. I read the changelogs, and have noticed that this has been done many times before, so it's ...

We've run into this as well - the unit is associated, can be accessed from either wireless or ethernet, but absolutely no traffic passes through the NAT rule. All thus far have been RB133C units - we've not logged any calls from clients with RB411's. My counterpart swears that rebooting the unit fro...

Hello. Last night, I had to do a fresh install of v3.11 x86 on a Compact Flash card (WRAP board). It installed fine, and I could see the unit as a neighbor in Neighbor Viewer on WinXP, as well as from another MT unit on the same LAN. However, when I went to MAC Telnet in (from WinXP or MT), I was pr...

Connect Kn-50 / Kn-51 Turbocell with MT? No, that's not quite what was being dicussed here. SEC stands for "Super Ethernet Converter", and essentially acts like a wireless ethernet bridge - similar to the Senao CB3 units work. It was only available as a software load (under separate licen...

Another possibility is a bad SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) being presented to the output of the card. Meaning that there may be a problem somewhere from the RF connector of the card up to and possibly including the antenna itself.... eg: bad pigtail, connector, coax or antenna. True, this is possible a...

I am talking about the onboard amplifier on the wlan-card. I really doubt this is an "amplifier" failure. My money is on the diversity switch getting damaged - most likely due to ESD. I've had that happen to quite a few CM9's for various reasons - all more than likely due to improper or m...

What you're seeking is a "passive repeater" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_Radio_Link_Deflection I've seen it discussed before, but never heard solid confirmation of it successfully implemented for 2.4GHz or 5GHz applications. I've personally tried a back-to-back antenna arrangemen...

Incorrect, hardware retries are set to 15 by default. This is an old issue. The issue lies with Tranzeo or more specifically the Zcom radios they use although they deny it. Mikrotik attempted to make a bandaid fix with the hardware retries but it is really a fix Tranzeo needs to implement. Actually...

The "routing" package enables autonomous routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, BGP. Static routing is always available in any functional scenario. If you don't need automated routing on your network, it's safe (and I would say even recommended) to disable it. Brad What does the routing pack...

Hello, All. I have a question regarding hardware upgrades on devices monitored by Dude. I'm running Dude 3.0Beta7 to monitor about 40 infrastructure points in my network.

Can you give a hypothetical routing example? I'll give a not so hypothetical example - I'll give some details on the routing from my main gateway (behind the Cisco), to the external IP of the NAT'ed machine I'm posting this from, we have (all MT gear listed): xxx.xxx.28.76/29 - ether1, main gateway...

Ping. Anyone have anything to report on this issue? My only remaining boards to be upgraded to v3.3 are RB532's, all of them are in fairly important places in my network, and only one of them is "easy" to access physically. I'm impressed so far with the increase in wireless performance (ma...

A question to MT - has this issue been narrowed to a RB532 BIOS (firmware) issue, or is this triggered by something in the upgrade process itself? I did notice that the small number of RB532's I have in key places were running ancient BIOS (firmware) revisions, so I upgraded them and rebooted during...

Anyone have a followup to this report? I'm actually seriously impressed with v3.x wireless improvements so far, but all I've upgraded are either CPE's (about 50 RB112/133 units), or a couple AP's (WRAP's serving 900MHz and 2.4GHz clients) that are _not_ running OSPF (all running 2.9.50 right now).

To bridge wireless to another interface, you need to use WDS. Alright, Thanks for the info. I'll try this in the office tomorrow, one more question on the client side, and if set to station mode: 1. Do I need to set an IP address for the wireless iface? 2. Or, I set an IP on the Ethernet side only a...

Ok, I have upgraded to Lever 4. Now I have AP enabled, how do I maximize my SR5 output power? I'm getting an extreme low signal indoor with 23dbi antenna, so I'm guessing I'm running on a low power tx dbm. You have something very, very wrong to be getting an "extreme low signal" with a po...

I think we're gonna see 3.45 before 4.0 , unlike the mathematic fact that after 3.9 should be 4.0 If you think in terms of only two significant digits, yes.

do you have a volt meter ? connect the volt meter in reverse and see if you get +48. I would assume that as long as there is enough amps and you get +48 it should be fine.
