MikroTik

rooted

@doneware Excellent, it's comparable to my current 3x3 AP which is definite progress as wireless has always been a weakness for these devices. Perhaps in the not to distant future I can replace what I'm using and be all mikrotik.

rooted

Thanks for the numbers.

rooted

Anyone have any wave2 performance numbers between the releases? I was just wondering if the performance is gaining or staying relatively the same.

rooted

Should see it soon.

rooted

so a packege specific to the IPQ4019 without the other stuff would probably fit.

I'm hoping to see this as well, it makes sense.

rooted

Updated hAP ac2 yesterday and nothing anomalous thus far.

rooted

I purchased other products (eap245)

I purchased this as well and 5ghz above channel 100 was semi-broken (super slow), also it didn't have DFS. I went back to using a ea7500 as an AP for my hAP ac2.

rooted

But it never hurts to read about partitioning...

I didn't know about this, so the old adage is correct.. learn something new everyday. Thanks.

rooted

I don't know the guy who wrote the tutorial and I'm not a network engineer, seemed in depth enough to help me so I thought it may help others.

Lighten up, I removed the post...

rooted

Removed due to complaining.

rooted

I'm not understanding these low speeds when the test emils did above was from a hAP ac² and was nearly 430 Mbps.

rooted

You can tell that to Cisco. With ALL their wizards for noobs. Right? ;)

Cisco doesn't make devices like the hAP lite or hAP ac² which are not business class devices, or if they do I'm not familiar with them.

rooted

Wireguard is included in the beta, that's awesome. Thank you to all the devs for the addition, looking forward to setting it up then I get home.

rooted

It won't work if it's DNS based by someone simply specifying an alternative DNS, it won't work otherwise by bypassing via VPN.

rooted

Sorry, but I use ROS professionally, I don't particularly care about non-proficient users trying to dumb down a power-user's network OS.
There are many options out there for those users.

It's a good thing you aren't in sales.

rooted

DID you know that WireGuard now runs under Windows 10, macOS, IOS, Android and MANY flavors of Linux
https://www.wireguard.com/install/

Amazing !!!

Part of what makes it so attractive, portability and ease of setup and use.

rooted

Subbing

rooted

That's amazing speed from a hAP AC², thank you for sharing the progress.

rooted

It's not an argument, how would something this large be implemented?

rooted

How large is the Nebula codebase? Wireguard is compact, this is needed in devices that are already pushing the limits of what can fit into the limited remaining memory.

(edit)
I just looked, the arm7 binary is 14.64 MB and nebula-cert is 4.23 MB

rooted

Personally I would much rather see vanilla Wireguard, simplicity and speed is all I need.

rooted

There seems to be testing but internal. We start 6.48 at version beta twelve. The flash write counter is a big problem despite it not be actual writes. It will decrease the resell value of your router because the write counter is extremely high due to this bug. This bug alone should have been tackl...

rooted

hAP AC² updated and so far everything is working fine, maybe a couple hundred kilobytes more free memory is all I've noticed immediately.

Will let it settle in and see if anything pops up.

rooted

Is ROS 7 still being developed?, I wonder since there haven't been new betas since February.

Maybe it will be a larger update vs incremental.

rooted

I don't think more +1's are necessary, it's being added

rooted

I'm using Beta 60 on a hAP ac² which is my home router, I've not had anything go wrong with it but my setup also isn't comprehensive of the feature set.

rooted

Thanks for the update @normis, it's great to know.

rooted

You should see what the log says in relation to the IP address of your TV.

rooted

Have you checked about the blocked MAC? What's the log say?

rooted

@scob What device are you running this on? I get several errors running it from a couple of Debian based devices. Maybe it's due to them being ARM based?

rooted

I know what he said, what I don't know is if this is normal behavior and if with the new power supply does it still make this noise...

rooted

He never got the chirping sound. Read carefully.

I took it down to test the power and realized that when the router is normally power cycled it does this series of chirps.

rooted

Are you still getting the chirping sound?

rooted

That's when you tell them to upgrade to a device with more storage.

rooted

Optional packages not installed by default wouldn't be an issue.

rooted

The hAP ac² would be a good option, but having basic knowledge can be a problem with RouterOS if doing anything outside of Quick Set. However Quick Set is similar to standard consumer router configuration and works good, I have a hAP ac² in a larger space and have no range issues. I think the RB4011...

rooted

The wAP AC has 3 5ghz chains.

rooted

Chirping is usually a sign of a faulty power supply.

rooted

If you have a DMM you could test the power supply to verify voltage, but you would have to open the case to easily test the voltage under load.

rooted

Wouldn't everything coming into the port the tp-link is attached to have the ability to be tagged?

rooted

@pcunite What about this?

However, my concern is that in other posts, I saw that the "bridge" method ATT offers out of the box forces you to use their small NAT tables on the ATT gateway...is that still the case with this "dumb bridge" method?

rooted

The Unifi AC Lite, Unify AC LR, and Unify AC Pro are well liked and tested, the Unify nanoHD less so.

Given the above options choose the one that fits your needs.

rooted

Are you getting anything in the log when on the same band and attempting to cast?

rooted

Right, with Comcast you can disable it but with my ISP Cox you can't.

rooted

No with the gateway bridged it wouldn't be double NAT, I purchased my own modem because my ISP gateway not only costed an additional $11/month but even bridged it still provided a wireless hotspot which I could not disable. This hotspot allows customers of the ISP access to free WiFi all over the co...

rooted

You could bridge the gateway I had but I didn't try it, I would rather have my own modem.

rooted

Not that kind of control, but most cable based ISP apply their own firmware to your cable modem without any control on your end anyway so truthfully we can't know what data they have access to. But through NAT router side they certainly don't have access to each device.

rooted

Cox, Comcast (and others?) already have similar control without this change for everyone using the CGM4141 gateway, it tracks each device on your network, bandwidth usage, websites visited, etc and the ISP has the ability on their end to block devices, limit bandwidth, and other such things. I had o...

confused me, in thinking the cable modem was transparent. But it seems to do NAT for your LAN. The RB3011 is doing a second NAT towards your devices.

It has been a while since I purchased any, thanks for the information.

Why do you care? He started this thread.

rooted

The thing I don't like about the audience is some of the channels are locked for use only by wireless backhaul with another audience, these should be unlocked for those not using it in this way.

I think both are so new no one will have a direct comparison.

They are developing a client, it's mentioned in this thread a few posts up.

I think you would have to go with PC level hardware at this time. I don't see MikroTik targeting home users with more than gigabit internet since it's such a small market.

Routing that would cost twice as much.

Nice comparison, literally lol'd

rooted

So bye bye all hardware offload.

Wireguard is still faster than AES with offload on the same machine, CPU usage is low as well. The situation I could see this being an issue is with a lot of wireguard sessions, for the typical user needs there is no downside.

rooted

Personally I wouldn't worry about a router with wireless, AX access points will likely be MikroTik first offering anyway so if they have a non-wireless router that suits you I would just go ahead.

I know a lot of people in China use shadowsocks:

rooted

Interesting notion, they could make it compatible with an adapter and sell that adapter under the MikroTik name. It would be then worth their time to do so.

rooted

Are you asking if it's possible?

rooted

Yeah I'm not sure what MT was thinking making all these devices with such small flash when 128MB wouldn't add but a few dollars cost and save a lot of headaches for some people.

rooted

The option "auth sha512" isn't supported I don't believe.

rooted

Try changing the protocol version, if using v1 try v2.

In the wiki it states "RouterOS only supports SMB v1.0 and v2.002", they are specific in what version of v2 is supported.

The page also says "SMB1 Extended security" is unsupported.

rooted

Yeah but why would you buy such an outdated device when the RB760iGS plus switch has 4x performance for less money?

Or get the hAP ac² with switch for even more performance plus dual band wireless (unless 128MB RAM isn't enough)

rooted

That's not relevant since he said queues needed and mangling possibly needed, no fasttrack.

Yes you're right I mistook it for the same device, their LTE6 devices just go by bands not international or US.

rooted

With that in mind, I was trying to see what it would cost to switch and what the operational differences would be. Looks like I will be sticking Unifi for now. MikroTik doesn't really have anything to compete directly against the AC Pro (I guess), the cAP AC is close but not really apples to apples.

rooted

It will only knock a few seconds off loading vs a good SSD.

rooted

To test new features?

rooted

I prefer a plastic toy (Asus, etc ....) as a "professional" MKT device that will not hold the connection.

You could disable the wireless on the Tik and use an external AP, then you have all the great features of RouterOS with wireless that doesn't give you issues.

Maybe you could use scripting conditional statement to disconnect client if quota is reached:

What makes you want to choose those over the hAP ac²?

With the hAP ac² you get better wireless (dual-band/w AC), much better CPU performance, in a package that isn't noticeably more expensive.

All RouterOS devices (with multiple Ethernet ports) can do what you want.

ISPs have been offering 1Gbps for a long time. SingTel started residential 10Gbps in 2016.

That is certainly a valid use case [emoji6]

Ovpn on Mikrotik is a non starter for connecting to other hardware. Mikrotik's version of OpenVPN is the older TCP protocol. Pretty sure Nord is going to use UDP.
