Re: RB450 ROS3.10 Kernal failure / constant reboot w/10mb

So the rb450 can be used however I wish (not in bridge or switch mode) so long as the eth1 is not 10mb? I can live with that. I did a new install last week, two RB433 and an RB333. All three on ROS 3.10. All three at 10MB on port 1. The RB333 was fine, both of the RB433s exhibited the symptoms desc...

Re: CPE-Antenna alignment via customer / Application available?

Ehm, now I'm lost somewhere ;-) ... What script for a "special username/password" do you mean? The thread here was about an app for CPE alignment... Perhaps there are two different applications being discussed on this thread? The software was written to run with our own-brand hardware, bu...

Re: CPE-Antenna alignment via customer / Application available?

cmit, are you still active on this thread, and if so, are you still offering the script? I have downloaded your application, and would like to try it on some of my mikrotik routers, but need the script to do so. Is that script to create the special username/password for this application available an...

Re: L2 mesh and winbox caution

No so much a bug... but rather that winbox always lags a bit behind the cli feature set. Usually, winbox laging just means that some new features are only available through the cli. But in this case, the lag can unexpectedly mess up settings done through the cli.

L2 mesh and winbox caution

Just to possibly save others some frustration... As of ROS 3.10, winbox does not know about layer 2 meshes, so the cli must be used. One of the cli settings that you will be setting is the 'wds-default-bridge' setting on the wireless interface; you need to set it equal to the mesh interface you crea...

cmit,

If you are still giving out the script to create the special username/password, I'd sure appreciate a copy.

Thanks!

Re: Deleting expired users

Thanks for the post. I read that thread, and it appears to pertain to removing the connection of an active hotspot (or ppoe) user. That's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking if there is a means to remove a user from the usermanager database based upon them having no remaining uptime credits and a la...

Deleting expired users

In a given hotspot installation, it is very likely that many users will drop by, purchase a specific credit package (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week etc.), and at some point move on and never be seen again. Think of a coffee shop, or hotel etc. where travelers use the hotspot. Very quickly, the usermanager da...

Re: Multiple WEP keys, HOWTO?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Out of curiosity, what are 'private-algo' and 'private-key' in the Access List rules for, if not for assigning encryption keys to individual mac addresses?

Appreciate your help!

Re: Trendnet tew-421 cardbus does not see MT DHCP server

I don't see how it is obvious that the problem is with trendnet and not with MT. Trendnet could just as easily, and correctly, say that their card works with every AP except MT, so it is obviously a problem with MT. Be fair... we know there is an interoperability problem, but at this point we don't ...

Re: Trendnet tew-421 cardbus does not see MT DHCP server

Oh, that's helpful. So every client using my hotspot who happens to own this card, and can use it on non-MT hotspots, will be very happy when I tell them to go buy a new adapter if they want to use my, or any other, MT hotspot. I would like to find out why the trendnet adapter works with non-MT dhcp...
