I've just checked to confirm that all of my production servers are using OpenSSL 1.x, which is not affected. I do not know of RouterOS uses OpenSSL, or LibreSSL or something else as their crypto library though so checking in here sounded like a good idea. :) https://twitter.com/iamamoose/status/1584...

So I need to be able to tell if a given IP address is represented in a given /ip firewall address-list list. However, I know of at least three ways that can happen. add list="test" address="1.2.3.4" comment="Directly Mentioned" add list="test" address="1....

We're having a problem where private IPs in our office LAN experience an interesting set of bad network troubles stemming apparently from all NAT egress traffic packets getting duplicated. We have NAT working fine on other routers, but this one uses ipip tunnels to communicate through it's local DIA...

Yep, I don't even see the bootp packets unless I connect to ether13. :3 Laptop is Windows 7 with no VM involved, MT is either RB v5.x or v6.x.. but 5.x more likely. Though I doubt we're getting that far. I could look up the bootloader version but I feel like the packets not being responded to on the...

Good day, we are trying to netboot an RB1100AH using netinstall 6.39.1.exe. We have serial into the MT working fine, and can get the RouterBoot menu, but every time it tries to request bootp there is no answer from Netinstall application. We can run wireshark and see the bootp request packets from t...

I just noticed this problem on ROS 5.24. nmap of working router -sU -p161 says "161/udp open", nmap of problem router says "161/udp open|filtered". No other connectivity problems to router management IP, can winbox and access via port 80 and ping and ssh. Packet sniff on problem ...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I've run into this problem and just found a few short-term solutions on this related thread in the cisco forums: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2013927 The consensus appears to be, at least partially, that this is a bug (or unexpected behavior or ssh-server i...

Hey, I'm not saying it's not. Just clarifying the workaround someone else suggested to get previous poster, or anyone else who googles and finds the thread who may be in a similar enough boat, through the day.

webformix

(yeah, old, but Google searches lead here so it's worth answering the question) I assume you're using the virtual link to allow Area 2 to be adjacent to OSPF backbone area 0, correct? Make sure R2 and R3 can ping each other at their loopback IPs, via Area1. Create EoIP tunnel endpoints on R2 and R3,...

Confirmed issue remains in v5.14, we'll keep posting more data as it becomes available. Prior to 5.8 this was much easier to replicate on the testbench, but now it seems difficult to replicate anywhere but the production server so the data gathering and testing is a bit slower. It's possible that hu...

webformix

This is very similar to the problem fixed in v5.8 , but we're still seeing this in 5.12. Soon we'll be able to report if still seeing it in 5.14, but nothing else in the recent changelogs mention DHCP. Confirmed on one RB1200 router, and two different RB1100 routers thus far. No luck so far replicat...

I am seeing a similar issue on RouterOS 5.12. I understand 5.13 just came out, I am currently working both to boil down a testcase for this problem on the bench, and to confirm it's still occurring in 5.13. Confirmed on RB1200 router, and two different RB1100 routers thus far. We are converting our ...

Hey guys, how is it going? So we've recently upgraded all of our v3.x RB333 and RB433 backhaul gear to v4.5. No complaints so far, except that in some cases the devices appear to stop responding on their management IP addresses. They still pass traffic, but can no longer be pinged or managed on any ...

webformix

Any tips on upgrading via dragging to the files menu? I tried what you mentioned... the combined/NPK package transferred and appeared in the file list (it's the only file that was there BTW). I rebooted the Mikrotik, and it hadn't updated, and the file had disappeared, and the file list was empty.

Hello there, we recently upgraded our MT's to 3.22, and now we're having some issues upgrading to 3.23. We usually use the web GUI to upgrade, and use the upload feature from there, but it appears to be broken as of 3.22. I select the combined, stable package for my platform (routeros-mipsbe-3.23.np...

That seems to have helped some. Disabling ANI on both wireless interfaces appears to have reduced CPU load by around 20-30%. It still jumps up to 90-100% sometimes, but not nearly as often... it's no longer pegged. Thanks for that tip! Do you have any other ideas?

webformix

OK, ANI: Adaptive Noise Immunity? If yes, then it's enabled on both sides. On the parent it's set to "ap and client mode" on the wds/slave it's set to 'client mode'.

webformix

Please excuse my ignorance, but what's ANI, and how do I check to see if it's enabled/disabled via WinBox? I could probably look it up using the CLI, but I'm really rusty as I never use it. Thanks!

We have (2) sets of RB433's, each with (2) XR5 cards acting as a dual backhaul to two different locations (each Mikrotik/RB433 board, has (2) XR5's, and serves as a backhaul to 2 different sites). We're using ROS 3.22 on these backhauls. We've noticed that even though these units are not pushing tha...

How is this post relevant to the Mikrotik forum?

The solution is easy; just download removal software or have a professional clean your computer of spyware and viruses. You might have to re-install your OS.

webformix

Hmm... I might be experiencing something like this, but I'm very skeptical that it would be the router board causing this. Could you try putting a different RB333 in place to see if the problem comes back?

I've posted a screen shot of winbox with a single 802.11B AP, with 106 users connected, pushing just over 6mbps traffic. Some keys to getting these kinds of results: -Relatively low noise floor -Almost all clients are connecting at 11mbps RX/TX with short preamble -We use RTS/frag settings of 512/10...

webformix

From what I understand, the RTS/frag settings are set on the client side. You would never set this on the AP. Also, RTS/frag settings seem to be in the realm of voodoo science... some swear by it, others never use it and do just fine. As mentioned above, with nstream preventing the hidden node probl...

Why are you using NAT? There's no need to. Just make a flat bridged network. Make sure that on the AP and stations, that you create a bridge and have both the ethernet and wireless interfaces added to them. Your AP should be set to 'AP bridge', and your WDS set to the name of your bridge interface, ...

802.11A/G translates to roughly 1.25 bit per hertz spectral efficiency at the highest modulation (54mbps). So a 20mhz channel width, connected at 54mbps will provide about 25mbps net throughput. If you use a 5mhz channel width, and are connected at 54mbps, you're net throughput would be about 6.25mb...

webformix

RB433+XR5+5ghz wide-band 2foot parabolic dish on each side will give you approx. 30mbps of HDX, TCP throughput on a 20mhz wide channel. I suggest a wide-band 5ghz dish so that if you get the custom frequency license you'll be able to run on any channel in the 5ghz band (in case you run into interfer...

webformix

You're power -49dB is too high. Try turning down the TX power by 5-8dB on each side and see if your CCQ and throughput improves.

webformix

You'll see quite a bit of attenuation, but it will work (just not very well). There won't be any damage to the radio or antenna however.

webformix

I forgot to answer RK's question. No, the slave/client unit didn't lock up. After rolling up onsite and using my laptop/winbox to access the Mikrotik box, I found out the ghost channel issues. Only after changing to a 20mhz channel width did the issue go away. I would have done more investigating bu...

I witnessed this strange phenomena today with one of our 5ghz back hauls. We use XR5 cards, with nstream enabled, and ROS 3.17. We tried using a 5mhz channel width and after a few days of stable operation the link when down. When we checked out the client side of the back haul, we found that it was ...

I know this probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but limiting P2P, or any specific protocol or traffic is a never ending job. Bittorrent in particular can use random, encrypted ports, and in some cases plane old HTTP, so it's very difficult to match and throttle. In addition; from a moral sta...

I've submitted this issue to Mikrotik, Tranzeo, and Ubiquiti. Their responses: Mikrotik basically said it was a Tranzeo issue, and they couldn't do anything about it.

We usually do the same, that is make sure we're in good with the tower owner so more equipment won't be put up that might interfere.... unfortunately, there are many towers on this site, so they just threw their stuff up on a near by tower (100m away).

A 15dBi omni will have a 'pancake' like radiation pattern.. e.g it will be very flat, meaning that if you mount it up high, the signal may go 'over' the clients you're trying to hit (in a typical WISP PtMP setup). Also, omni's tend to perform quite poorly in high-noise environments because they're r...

It largely depends on the what type of antenna is being used (i.e. sector, directional, etc), and where the desired coverage area is. These variables will help to determine how high up the antenna needs to be mounted. As SurferTim mentioned, if you put it up too high, or don't use the correct tilt, ...

Not sure what you mean by 'change back to 15'. I tried upping the hardware retries to 5-10 without any positive results.
