Did you find a fix for this? I just bought a Red Pocket SIM and am having the same trouble.

Is the 6Ghz product approved for use in the US? No, this is a licensed band in most countries, everyone needs to apply for a license first. It says so in the newsletter. I understand the need to obtain a license in the US, but I believe the hardware has to be approved by the FCC also. My question r...

Can you make "calls" to the Dude from outside programs (like a CRM with an API) that can add/modify Dude data and run scripts that can manage client radios, such as "turning them off" via shutting down an interface or masquerading? Or is a Dude API required for that? I would like...

I used Netinstall 5.1. It just tries the bootp protocol for a period of time and then says "kernel loading failed". Then it restarts and tries again. Only Ether2 shows a link when I plug a cable from my computer into it.. Ethers 1 & 3 appear to be dead.

wwalcher

I have an RB800 that continuously reboots. When I plug in a serial cable, it shows it booting properly, eventually giving a login prompt. However, you cannot type anything at that point. Then, the following message appears about 10 seconds before the reboot: MikroTik Login: PowerPC Book-E Watchdog E...

wwalcher

Agreed. I have been waiting on this for years. This really should be done. It will open up a lot of bandwidth for us. What do you need from the US users in order to get moving on this?

wwalcher

What country setting do you need to use to get use of the channels above 5825?

1. yes, it goes up to 6Ghz
2. yes, and it also supports 5MHz
3. yes, it supports nv2

4. yes, it's FCC approved but not in those bands.

wwalcher

Has anyone tested N in 10mhz and 5mhz channel sizes? I am interested in deploying it in a PTMP AP scenario.

wwalcher

Well, I would always welcome something priced lower, but I would prefer a higher powered card included at the same price level than a lower price for the current powered card. An N capable card that also supports A/G in 5/10 Mhz channels would also be nice, but I am not even sure if such a card exis...

wwalcher

A higher power version would be nice.

wwalcher

I just received notification from Streakwave that the RB411r is being EOL'd. Can anyone comment as to why? It has been a wonderfully inexpensive solution for our close-in links.

wwalcher

KillerOPS, are you saying that you setup two NS M5 links to the same location, put them in Bridge mode, connected them via Ethernet to MT routers, bonded them together and got 216mbps throughput? If so, is this 216mbps in one direction, or 100+ in both directions? Is this true real-life throughput o...

wwalcher

I will have to disagree with you there. Other than MT cards, I cannot ever remember having a card burn up because you did not have an antenna plugged into the port. But that problem is a lot less expensive than the one where they just quit working after you change the channel (even when you change i...

wwalcher

Some of the immediate burnouts may have been caused by not having an antenna connected. But the majority of them die while in service with default power settings.

wwalcher

I have experienced significant problems with the R5H cards. Several have died, some immediately when powering up a new board with them in it. You can smell them burning and see the burn mark in the upper left hand area of the card. Another problem occurred this week with two of them that were in ser...

wwalcher

Has anyone successfully deployed links in the US in the 5.4 Ghz spectrum using RouterOS and DFS? I tried it a year or so ago, with negative results. It would just continuously change channels and never stick on one. If you have deployed it, what country setting did you use? Also, please provide any ...

wwalcher

The last time I tested (a year or so ago), they would not connect to each other, but Ubiquiti products, (NS2's, LS2's and PS2's) would connect to either one of them in cloaking mode. Go figure.

wwalcher

I have installed them in 3 places where the customer was close to the AP. They have worked well in all three locations. No support calls from the customer. I wish they supported 5 and 10 Mhz channels, but they do not.

wwalcher

Does the Web Cache work on the 433AH, or is it supported in an upcoming release?

wwalcher

They are $99 here.

so there's a RB411, RB411A and now a RB411AH?

As the document says, same processor as the 433AH so this must be the fastest AP/CPE around.

I estimate the price to be about $120-$130?

wwalcher

I totally disagree with the the above three or four posts. I own a wireless internet service provider company. I have one MT router (Intel-based) at my connection point to the internet that does not do wireless. I have hundreds of MT Routerboards with wireless cards functioning as AP's and CPE's on ...

wwalcher

Cool. Interesting thing to know.

wwalcher

Hebeda,

What was the channel size of your test? 20 Mhz or 40?

wwalcher

This same thing happened to me last week with an SR9 setup. The client quit working, and when I visited the client site and did a scan, it showed three frequencies from the SR9 at the AP. I changed the client card out and it started working normally again. So, your XR3 card may be bad.

wwalcher

One of my RB333's started locking up every 10 minutes today, almost to the second. The only way to fix it was to power it off for around 15 seconds and then turn it back on again. I tried removing some of the cards, turning off the watchdog, changing the password (thinking Dude might be affecting it...

wwalcher

Trying switching to a 24db grid and to a Ubiquity XR2. Raise the antenna up as high as possible. Hopefully, that will get you a 10+ db gain and a salvaged client.

wwalcher

hmm... Everytime I tried to test it, even when the Mini PCI card was not hooked up to an antenna, it would think it was finding a radar on every channel. I wonder why it does that for me and the earlier poster, but not for you?

wwalcher

[quote="karyal] We use DFS as well,as we're in europe too, and i can tell you that it does work as supposed to (to be true, sometimes we do need a larger separation between channels and need to set up the appropriate scan list, DFS tends to use the closest possible channels). There are no setti...

wwalcher

I don't think it works correctly. On what basis? [ On the basis that, even testing in my office, when I turn on DFS, it supposedly "sees a radar" on every channel, continously moving from channel to channel in the list, never staying on one. I'm not saying that DFS itself does not work co...

wwalcher

Hi, I'm using 5.480 to 5.700 GHz frequencies and I have to use DFS and radar-detect to comply to my local regulation (Europe). It seems to me that radar-detect has a weird behaviour because my AP keeps saying through the logs that it detects radars on every frequency it tries...and then my APs neve...

priorities explained:

1,2 = background
0,3 = best effort
4,5 = video
6,7 = voice

In the bandwidth control manual it states that 8 is the lowest priority and 1 is the highest. So which one is correct?

wwalcher

I still don't understand what you don't like about the semicolon thing? Can you use the "semicolon thing" to make a number of changes to move a user from one AP to another. I would need to change their SSID, IP Address and Default Route. Can that all be done on one line using semicolons? ...

wwalcher

is 9v enough for sr2 ?

Sam

I doubt it. You should go with a higher voltage power supply. I use 15v 1.2 amp on cable runs of less than 75 feet and they work well.

my downloads are around 2-3 Mbit and uploads are 15Mbit I tried every single combination of cables/antennas but I can't get over 2-3 Mbit download speeds I really need Syncronus speeds is there a limitation in my setup or is it RB112 ? thx I have had the same thing happen to me on several client in...

wwalcher

I've got the same problem on a RB112. I can access it via the Serial port but it will not boot into RouterOS. Are the boards recoverable from this state?

wwalcher

The problem is probably that you are maxing out your CPU. If it is at 80% to begin with, doing bandwidth tests will likely max it out. I have a new Celeron MB that I am testing with just one radio that maxes out the CPU when I do a bandwidth test running at 66 Mb/sec.

wwalcher

How do you get your CCQ values higher?

wwalcher

That did it! I lowered my signal strength down to around -40 and achieved 66 meg. At least, when the Intel machine was sending the data. The Via machine could only push around 57 meg. Both showed 100 CPU usage when they were sending the data.

wwalcher

I can't come close to duplicating these numbers in a test environment. I have a new Intel Celeron MB with a CM9 connecting to a new Via 2 Gig MB with a CM9. Signal strength is -20. Running 2.9.26 on both, in 5Ghz frequency. Running a bandwidth test from one to the other, if I am using regular 5Ghz,...

When using the v2.9beta14 and Prism cards in the AP mode, a significant minority of my wireless customers would not connect. I downgraded to 2.824 and the problem went away. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or is there a fix to it?

wwalcher

I have not done it myself, but seem to remember reading a post on this or another forum where someone was saying he was successfully running WDS on a Senao CB3 and a Mikrotik Router.

wwalcher

I don't think you will be able to bridge with a non-WDS AP. The only possibility would be to do Ethernet over IP from your local Routerboard to another MT router on upstream somewhere.

wwalcher

Does anyone have a source for DS3 PCI cards that work with Mikrotik? A guy posted something on the mailing list a number of months ago that he had some for $200, but he did not respond to my recent email.
