I am trying to provide wireless internet for a few friends homes near mine (100m-150m). I have a 10ft pole on my roof, which is higher than all the other homes in the area. Attached right now is a WAP using the 2.4GHz band, but range is very lacking at around 20m from the house. I presume there is a...

The several minute delay is "normal", however I was able to work around this issue by disabling dial on demand

Also check the APN settings for your provider.

What antenna are you currently using? I had some issues with my first antenna, now using a "generic" 2.4 GHz dipole SMA antenna without any issues. The last command you ran should return cell towers and the fact that it is not likely means your outside range, which a new antenna may help w...

Thanks, ended up getting it working!

1.) Your settings are correct for PPP. I have the same provider (1nce) and it is working. 2.) So far as I can tell, you cannot enable GPS while running the PPP interface. I think the init channel overlaps with the PPP interface. 3.) I've found that the initialization of the PPP interface can take ti...

Would love to see this!

You cannot click "info" while the interface is up - can you confirm the interface is down before clicking info?

jcbhltz909

Thanks for your quick replies. I have confirmed there are no loops in the network and that running the command works.

Is this perhaps a bug in the CRS?

jcbhltz909

ROS version 6.48.3 has default setting bridge-mode=rstp . And I guess that as with all handlers for protocols it might be buggy. And bug can be either in CRS or CSS. So you can verify SwOS versions on both your CSS devices, perhaps the working one is running different SwOS version than the one maki...

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, disabled seems to work. I am going to check for loops, but I do not think there are any - could it be something else?

My CRS125-24G-1S switch is losing networking whenever I plug in my CSS106-5G-1S. It makes all devices on the network inaccessible and I cannot connect to WinBox to troubleshoot the issue. The device is still powered on and does not crash/reboot. * The only device(s) that go offline are devices direc...

Any chance you could post your config? Just the defaults?

Recently purchased a Mikrotik Knot for automation testing and cannot get the PPP setup working. I have tried using 3 different SIM cards and only once was I able to get the setup partially working (internet was working, SMS was not). I really only want to use this for SMS sending/receiving and would...

jcbhltz909

I have the same issue. I've tried 3 different SIM cards.

Did your replacement SIM work?

My ISP provides fibre to the home via GPON ONT SFP connected to a Hitron Modem. Recently I had removed the modem completely and connected the SFP cable to a TPLink media converter (SFP to RJ45 connected to CCR ) which was working fine, but I was looking for more control so I purchased a GPEN21 from ...

Thanks for the reply - however this is not working.

The reason for hardware offload is that the CRS cannot handle 1Gbps tagging/untagging without it. Adding a VLAN to the bridge, so far as I know, will cause all hardware offloading to be disabled.

jcbhltz909

Hello, I have a CRS125-24G-1S which is offloading VLANs to the switch chip which are trunked from a central router, but I cannot figure out how to setup a management IP. The VLAN for management is 40 (also being used for MikroTik APs and other network device management) Any advice is appreciated! # ...

I have two wAP (one inside, one outside) and am wondering why when the first client connects there is a 5-10 second delay?

I presume this is because the wireless interface is not in an active state when no clients are connected, but this is causing issues with roaming between the two.

jcbhltz909

Thanks for all the replies! Tested with single stream on a few speed tests, in all cases is was above ~500mbps and in one it was full speed at 920mbps I will continue doing some tests but I suspect my ISP is throttling, but getting anywhere with this is difficult. I understand an ISP not wanting to ...

jcbhltz909

Thanks a lot! I will make these changes

jcbhltz909

My ISP provides a symmetrical 1Gbps line and I am unable to utilize the full speed. I know there can be a number of causes for such an issue, but I feel like I should be seeing different results based on the tests I've done. All of tests below have been tested individually on MikroTik gear, the ISP ...

Hello everyone, I have a pfSense router with 7 VLAN interfaces trunking to a MikroTik CCR switch, and everything is working so far as I can tell, but I had a difficult time trying to get an IP on the switch and am wondering if this configuration is correct? VLAN 50 is a management network with APs t...

Thanks for the reply!

I've decided to use different hardware, but still would like to know what that maximum realistic throughput of these devices would be in an ideal situation.

jcbhltz909

Thanks for the replies.

Decided to sell the Mikrotik gear on eBay and use something else - routers and switches are great from MikroTik but wireless is terrible IMO.

Looking to setup a few Mikrotik wireless access points, but I have been very underwhelmed with the performance of my test unit thus far (wAP AC) as I cannot get it running above 300-350mbps and have a 1Gbps internet connection. Do any MikroTik wireless access points offer near gigabit speeds? The ro...

jcbhltz909

If you're using caps, your speed will be significantly less than it would be otherwise.

The clients are running iPerf connecting to the gateway running iperf (debian firewall/router, connected to LAN). I've also tried public iPerf servers (I have 1GBit connection) and same result. When doing the exact same tests, in the same location of the room and with the routers plugged in side by ...

jcbhltz909

Yes, both testing devices are connected devices are 3x3 capable. Macbook = 780Mbps-80MHz/3S/SGI Mac Mini = 975Mbps-80MHz/3S/SGI Also, if I try to use both to run iPerf at the same time, the throughput is the same or worse than from a single device. The same devices, connected at the same speed to a ...

jcbhltz909

Thanks for your reply! I did all of this and the average did seem to increase by 20-30mbps, but still not where I am hoping to see this. I'm starting to wonder if this AP can even handle 400-600mbps, which is what I would have really liked to see. I did notice at 280mbps the CPU is at 42%, so I don'...

It seems that when there are no wireless clients connected to a WLAN interface, which is part of a bridge, that interface will be set to unavailable. This causes the first connecting client to have to wait for the interface in the bridge to come back, causing a DHCP request to take up to 15 seconds....

Please post config

Hello, I am wondering why my 5Ghz wireless speed is so much slower than it should be? When I setup the wAP AC device the absolute maximum I can push in a momentary spike is 399Mbps, but average is around ~200-240Mbps regardless of the device I use. The router is setup as an AP only and all routing i...
