without your config and settings its impossible to help.
Try to explain your setup, which firmware the devices running? Are you using Capsman?

export file=anynameyoulike

and remove all sensitive information (serial, etc.)

h1ghrise

I found the misconfiguration.
Bridge on the caps had

protocol-mode=none

set.
After enabling RTSP, all issues went away.

h1ghrise

I had a similar issue with my IoT devices. They kept disconnecting at random intervals (mostly when DHCP lease was renewed). Issue was solved when I put a static IP address. I suppose (only my interpretation) is that some embedded systems (i.e. ESP8266/ESP32, which are common in IoT devices) are not...

h1ghrise

Exported also the interfaces from all devices (attached)

h1ghrise

Hi, thanks for your hints. I was reading a bit more and adapted my configuration. - enabled vlan-filtering on bridge on Capsman (RB5009). I somehow overlooked this setting. I noticed that the caps are listed as untagged for pvid 1 - is this normal? (VLAN filtering is not enabled on CAP`s bridge) For...

h1ghrise

Hi, i want to ask again for help, since I am not able to figure out my mistake. I moved to a new apartment, and changed my cap ACs to cap AX APs. the RB5009 was also replaced with another one, so basically all brand new hardware ;) Setup is basically identical. - RB5009 as CapsMan - 3 VLANs (IOT, WI...

*) smb - do not allow setting empty "comment" or "domain" properties;

Does this include fix to SUP-146116 (RB5009 crashes when accessing SMB share)?

h1ghrise

not necessarily. With CapsMan V2, you can set access list rules, whereby, for example a specific client, one can set a special password. This is useful for IoT devices, which do not have a (good) way to enter a password. So you do not need to weaken your overall Security (weak password), and still c...

h1ghrise

Since I have configured most of my IoT devices with static IPs, the issue seems to be solved. Weird.

h1ghrise

Hi again,
i have set a static IP in a couple of the affected devices. Lets see

h1ghrise

Thanks for your recommendation. I switched off FT and set N to the 2.4Ghz Configuration. So far all devices have reconnected. Is there a way to tell, which Authentication the client used (WPA/WPA2)? In regards to the DHCP topic: In the first place, I thought so as well. I made a Post here https://fo...

h1ghrise

Hi, I use capsman v2.
G is set for compatibility reasons. My AC for example is only g compatible.

h1ghrise

Hi, first, sorry for the quite generic title. Don't know how else to describe this phenomenon. Since using my Mikrotik equipment (RB5009 + 2 cap AC, located in each floor of the flat, running 7.14.3 and qcom-ac), I noticed that my IoT devices (mostly the Nuki Bridge and Shelly devices (Plug S, One (...

h1ghrise

Only the 5Ghz WIFI SSID is used for the Apple Devices. IoT on 2.4 Ghz is not known to them
Frequency is handled by CapsMan and not restricted. So, I should restrict the used frequency on both APs, and set it manually to the same one?

h1ghrise

This is it. As container gets stopped, api user is logged out and script terminated. Will try your suggested hack. Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.

Update: yes, its working

Update gets carried out as it should. Thanks

h1ghrise

Hi, thanks for your clarification. For now, I removed the function wrapper - I only want to update Home Assistant. Also, I have added some verbose logging, to pinpoint the issue: :while (([get $contId]->"status") != "stopped" && $sec <= $stopTimeoutSec) do={ :delay 1 $log...

Hi, yes - I had wireless debug disabled after roaming was working fine.

Thanks both of you for your hints and feedback. First, thanks for the updated version. In the OP, the $contComment was supplied in the script itself: :local contComment "CommentToIdentifyContainer" Now its supplied with an argument? :local contComment $1 Call me stupid, but where do i supp...

Ok maybe i was a bit too enthusiastic. I setup the 5Ghz main Wifi on all (Apple) Devices, which connect to it, again. forgot the network, setup password again and it seem to work, but now i saw this: 13:56:10 wireless,info 04:99:BB:57:C5:3F@Wifi-AP1 disconnected, connection lost, signal strength -87...

Hi Mikrotik Community. im using the Community Script to update Containers from this post (https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=1053882&hilit=container+update+script#p1053882) to update my Home Assistant instance. This works really well, when executed on the Mikrotik (RB5009) itself. In Hom...

h1ghrise

In Capsman V1, I did it exactly like that. Put the txpower with a fixed value (10 in my case). Now there are different approaches. txpower = radio transmit power - gain So, if I raise the gain, I reduce the TX power ? As both values are unset, raising the gain would efficiently lower the txpower by ...

h1ghrise

How to lower txpower efficiently? when using txpower in wireless configuration, it is mentioned it is unset per default. Value is an int between 0 and 40. So 30 would be a reduction by 10 dbm?

h1ghrise

I was doing this in capsman v1 as well, but heard that this is not necessary anymore. Can't find the thread, but bottom line was, not to mess with radio power distribution/settings.
Can you kindly share how and where you reduced txpower? Its highly dynamic as it depends on location of aps, walls, etc.

h1ghrise

Hi Mikrotik Community, I have switched to new CAPsMAN a couple of weeks ago. My IoT Devices are (mostly) happy, and overall reception is way better than before. Im running an RB5009 and 2 CAp ACs (running qcom-ac driver), all on 7.14.3, with 2 SSIDs. one purely on 2.4Ghz for IOT, and another one pur...

h1ghrise

My support ticket got closed, stating that the issue I reported was fixed and the fix will be included in a RouterOS release in the upcoming days. So lets see about that ;)

h1ghrise

Hi, thanks for your reply and that you share your experience on this. Are the radios transmitting on different channels (preferably 2412, 2437 and/or 2462)? My experience is that the channels are equal when all (my) access points are provisioned at the same time. yes they are. 0 MDBR name="IoT ...

Hi, im running 2 CAP ACs with CAPSman (CAP 7.14.1 - wireless package, Capsman 7.14. RB5009), and I noticed, that some clients in my IoT Network, are not choosing the AP, which is providing the best signal/noise ratio (in my opinion). Best example is the AC unit (below listed as item #7), which is in...

h1ghrise

Hi, the TX Power you need depends on your individual circumstances, for example walls, other obstacles, channel congestion (neighbors), other Wifi Protocols (Zigbee), etc. I'm running 2 Cap ACs and my TX power is setup that way, that if a client moves towards the 2nd AP, the signal strenght is about...

h1ghrise

I raised a ticket to support. its working after disabling encryption on the share (require-encryption=no).
When it's (officially) fixed and confirmed, I'll update.

my RB5009 just crashes on 7.14 when I try to access SMB share from my MacBook

h1ghrise

great

thanks a lot for your post. Will give it a try.
I found a different way to access my HA config.
Idea was, to access it through an SMB share. Unfortunately, my RB5009 crashes immediately when I try to access the share (after upgrading to 7.14)

Hi, I recently migrated my hexS to an RB5009 and im quite happy with it. Now, the next step is to migrate my Home Assistant instance + AdGuard Container from my Lenovo M900 to the RB5009.

wow. It felt like a timetravel back into the early 2000's when visiting the forum today. After reading this announcement, the mild shock disappeared :D

h1ghrise

Adjust firewall rules appropriately:
- Allow only defined devices/subnets access to router services (input chain)
- block everything else (whitelist approach)

Hi Anav, thanks for your point of view. My configuration is pretty simple. I run 2 CAP-ACs in CAPS Mode, Manager Forwarding mode, both having a SSID for 2,4Ghz (PVID20) and 5Ghz (PVID).

Hi, sorry for this maybe obvious and easy question.

After updating to ROS 7.8 this solution is no longer applicable (no multicast package exists for 7.8 - at least for my mmips HexS). Therefore I went the route of least resistance and removed the SONOSNET by disconnecting the ethernet cable from one of the wired SONOS Speakers, updated them to latest...

I could solve it by creating a "dummy" RP by using a loopback bridge interface:

interface bridge add name=BR-RP
ip address add address=10.10.99.1/32 interface=BR-RP
routing pim rp add address=10.10.99.1
