They work as expected. You need a good LOS and work up to 200 meters at 1Gbit Full duplex. If you go for larger distances with wAP 60G you risk slower performance and disconnects in heavy rain conditions. For longer distances up to 1.5 KM use dishes.
I have been having stability issues with all my w60g devices since 6.47. The rate selection is erratic and have frequent disconnects. Going back 6.46.5 improves a lot the stability. I had similar issues even on 50m links I think this completely cocked up the stability. *) w60g - improved rate select...
BGP will help you select the best path to a destination aka shortest, but will not do per connection load balancing for you. You might though still be able to do such things if you consult the mikrotik wiki. It is not so recommended on an ISP level. It breaks some applications in the end and custome...
*) improved ipv4 forwarding performance on all boards with simple configuration by up to 30% THANK You THANK You, it rocks ;-)) regards So if you have a complex config the performance gain is not as good? Or you need to execute a simple configuration to make everything go faster? I am not sure this...
May I ask your antenna configuration? Spacings and such We got a guy that does our dual polarity feeders. Still testing configs but we are satisfied with a certain design that we are going to run a few batches. We tested those with 80 and 100cm sat dishes. I guess a dual polarity Pac can do the job...
2 channels = Extended channel mode. It means just that 2 channels. Instead of 20MHz you use 40MHz. The setting that MT has is above or below ( another extra 20MHz) the Base Frequency you used (which already occupies 20MHz).
Ahha gotcha... Periodic recalibration is Broke. Disable it to stop your links disconnecting. Here in Athens we got our Feeders production line started and already have 2 links in production and 1 in testing (3, 6 and 10+ Km). We are full on for changing most of our Backbone links to 802.11n First te...
2,4GHz P4 by the way. Its a 6 iface wifi router with another Virtual MT to do some other network routing stuff..
CPU is not a prob since a similar machine with no wifi works OK.
All P4s should work ok with all Xen Versions for paravirt machines
@ janisk CPU support issue? Explain please... To the others... only paravirt machines run on MT. Actually you do not need VT or AMD-V at all. I do not want to imagine a windows server machine on a ΜΤ router. Install a new Linux distro on a proper machine if you want XEN, install Citrix XenServer or ...
How about max station count = 40? :) will that make any extra clients switch to any other card available with the same SSID?. Haven't tried it... just an idea. Overall I agree with coplete2006 but with planning, everything is possible to certain extent. We have been running a large community network...
There is still an issue on this one... I set out this morning to track down what the problem is. I know it's been a long time since my last post but i thought i'll give it a go now that we have the stable version 3.17. The same problem again and a kernel panic gave me a warm welcome. Figured out tha...
I was wondering weather someone else has experienced this issue. It seems like 3.14 with XEN does not work on certain x86 hardware. The boot stops at a certain point bugging you about the console. The same installation on different hardware works fine... well it boots i did not get the chance to do ...
I have noticed something strange in this version. I don't know weather its a version thing or in a combination with the Xen package, since i have upgraded straight away including the Xen package. The CPU utilization has dramatically dropped and i do not think the measurements represent the real stra...
Yap that was it Thanks! I had plenty of free memory but still ... Anyways First VROS is UP ...I am a happy bunny now! Moving right on exploring this to the limit
Now here it goes... created an img, created a guest config, added a vif (network), enabled the guest and it throws an error: failed to setup vm. Am i missing something? a config.script? What should it be there that it's not? Nice work guys. In contrast to what some might think ... I can think of a B...
well , my point is: 11n is very useable for distance ... me and my partners have successfully setup links with 802.11n cards , just using single radio, turning off the 2x extra radios of the Ar5008 chipset in this case (there are also 2x2 RX/TX version available soon) ... with xscale based board an...

Have a look in this path.. C:\Documents and Settings\{currentProfile}\Application Data\Mikrotik\Winbox Under this dir reside folders referring to different versions of MT that you might have used. Those are the folders where dll files for winbox are stored. Delete the appropriate directory and have ...
We have an issue here with updates that we are getting from peers. The log shows Malformed AS_PATH but whatever that means? As soon as we get a route update with such a malformed AS_PATH, all peers reset. We googled it a bit but i don't know how relevant are the references.. :( In what case is this ...
I am amazed! 5GHz-Turbo, Panels for 17Km links XR cards and speeds that are close to what you should get with a non-turbo link and proper parabolic dishes!
Glad I am not in your neighborhood...
Time to impliment this one in Winbox... I could not find how to set this one and it was a much wanted feature here! RC1 not bad at all! Just upgraded 2 closely monitored prod routers to give it a try!
I wonder if those devices transmit within legal limits... If they do not, I am sure that you can mention this to your local authorities... I find it hard to believe that a few of those devices can kick you completely out of a mast system. I know of nodes in our community network with a lot more than...
I am talking about the troubleshooting and the collaboration...
If 2.9.40 is the problem then OK i will do the upgrade again and post the situation... But i guess thats not the flaming point its just a version with a hick up..
I will arrange a setup just for you… It’s not long since new people have taken over the administration. As far as I know there was a mail which you should have received over a year (maybe) ago. I will talk to our admin team in order to get a set up ready to go for you. I believe that useful stuff wi...
everything is possible. you can even break things just adding wrong endries in /ip address :oops: It's not... just and because 2.9.39 works and upgrading to 2.9.40 doesn't... Time to get serious... :) OpenBGPd and Quagga are both as good and as stable... leaving out some specific versions with bugs...
Sorry but a simple config with 3 peers and 4 or 5 filters is impossible to go wrong. The machine is prod and we have spent enough time messing with upgrades and downgrades for the past year or so. Now I am back on 2.9.39 with the regular hung ups here and there (updates might go wrong sometimes). Yo...
BGP is broken :( Completely :( I have 3 peers... recalculation of routes shows to be broken as well as the update commands... I disconnect one and i get no recalculations. I connect it again and i get all the routes preferred by that source. To me it looks completely broken... Just switch to quagga...
Can you do some pictures of the setup? Are the feeders you used hand made? I am interested in general to see how people there in Cyprus do their stuff. Here are some pics from various more or less important nodes of our network. http://info.awmn.net/users/cpg/index.php?cat=2&page=1 Here is one w...
When I follow the example of the BGP Case study in the wiki for a very simple aggregate, the bgp seems to continually reset. I have 2.9.34 with routing test. I have 5 BGP peers which announce to me c classes of the supersubnet 10.0.0.0/8 What I want to do is to aggregate a few c classes to a subnet ...
Funny stuff… On the second router (with similar setup) that I tested the upgrade worked straight away no worries… On the first one that had the problems this morning it only worked the second time over… i.e. (upgrade-downgrade-and again upgrade) I have no clue what the problem was (haven’t changed a...
I will do with both versions 2.9.31 and 2.9.32... you might just spot the difference... maybe it's me? but then again why everything works with 2.9.31 and all previous versions?
I had a closer look … something has change and I can not get out of the local lan (nated) to the wireless network. 2 of my routers are nated (3 wirelless ifs + 4 wireless ifs to a Municipality network) and only one is not. I have not figured out whether this is a nat-firewall problem since I have no...
Big time problems... 2.9.32 + routing-test (BGP) It's routing (traffic flows), but you can not connect to the box (at times), can not go out from lan to wireless, neighbors (immediate peers) can ssh, and thanks god all the remote boxes (another 2) I have, had VPN Tunnels to one of the routers I have...
I believe that we came to a stage where troubleshooting for MT routing-test has evolved to a full time job and a really exiting knowledge quest that you get for a few bobs… More to come, ghost routes resulting to invalid AS_PATH attributes, million of routes on a peer, filters for every attribute, B...
We have 2 Test machines with routing-test. After a few hours with 2.9.25, we got bgp constantly renegotiating with neighbors. ??? downgraded to 2.9.24
Can I already smell 2.9.26?
turn off nstreme.for nstreme you need at least 800 Mhz x86 CPU I can not confirm that ... I have a P3 600 running 2 nstream 802.11a and 1 normal 802.11a just fine. No peaks at 100% CPU utilization with full blast traffic. What i have noticed is that if you turn on nstream, depending on CPU you use,...
Why did you open another thread asking the same things and of course the obvious! Performance is much better on an AMD64 since its different and more advanced architecture. After all generation wise it’s newer than a P4. But your problem is not there…. I believe you have to check your config Hardwar...
I didn't understand why you are pushing 150 Megabits, but now I understand that you are pushing 20. Still, that's a lot of traffic in my mind. I run a large wireless ISP and am pushing less than 8 megabits most of the time. There is a good reason for that and mainly it focuses on bad BGP routing de...
It would be nice if you told us what processor you are using to push 150 Megabits...would like to see the graph too. 150 Megabits though...wow, what the heck is your application? It's a 2.6GHz P4... the application? whatever do you mean... loads of stuff going through that machine. p2p, voip, games...
what sort of traffic you want to push hci? It's funny that a P4 2,6 is not enough for you? I can post you a nice jpeg from a live System that i have access to with 10 CM9 running at 802.11a with minimum 24/7 traffic forward at 17-20Mbit. Top mark seen forwarding was about 150Mbit ... still i think i...
How do we declare the subnet(s) we are going to announce through BGP… in routing-test BGP will only annouce routes in the routing table... Sam I think that the network command is in the specs of BGP. It is not wise to set static routes and announce them instead of setting the nework announced. For ...
How do we declare the subnet(s) we are going to announce through BGP… in routing-test i.e. / routing bgp network add network=10.1.1.0/24 In the mainstream routing package syntax I found that with a static route 10.1.1.0/24 to one of the Intrefaces does the same thing but only if I redistribute stati...
Can I bring this question up??? We run a 10.0.0.0/8 network and since it is a municipality network based on volantiers that support their own nodes we need to get those prefix-lists working since anybody can inject by mistake routes of the 192.168.0.0/24 or 172.16.0.0/12 type. How can we prevent tho...
I would suggest you do an upgrade. I remember back in 2.9.6 if the BWTest server was left on and somebody did an nmap to the routers ip, it would simply crash and reboot after a few minutes. I think that MT dev team is dealing with phenomena like this from time to time and the newer versions do not ...
Policy route voip calls to one of the lines (you could even use one static route for your sip gateway) and nat its public addresses to the voip adapter…
See this post... http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=6899 If you extensively use BGP do not bother with 2.9.14 …. Stick to 2.9.12. It’s the last known version with BGP working. That being said, at some point in time MT has to change default settings of keepalive and hold timers to something el...
Ohh.. Thought so but was not sure if somebody told me that or if we talked about it before… it shows... different in function… But who is the good boy in atheros…? I wonder….hihihihi
45 users waaaaaay to many for an AP... it's not only the data bandwidth and traffic... it has to do with radio... 10-15 people permanetly connected might be OK on an Interface and this only when they respect your AP... low tx power settings, directional antennas so on and so forth... Try more interf...
The making of it can be a “secret” … But the works of it should be known so to operate it… Unless you promise this one is going to be THE brand new one of killer routing protocol. Anyways… We here are very eager to try out this protocol rigorously when it comes out of your workshop… I could settle j...
A MAC level mesh is in the works. Probably beta in two months. John Sorry if it’s going to be a daft question… but can you explain the above? What sort of method-protocol you are planning to use? Give me a little inside info so I can break the news and do some reading just to get ourselves ready fo...
Where do we stand with this issue… I believe that an OLSR addition, at least in the routing-test package, is quite easy to implement. Municipality networks that have hundreds or even over a thousand wifi backbone links are an opportunity! In those sort of networks backbone links are set by amateur i...
thank you so much csickles... ur infoz were very helpfull .. thank you but i was wondering about the range of the AP wil be ... is it depending on the mini-pci wireless card..?? :?: :?: Not the right place to ask this sort of stuff but well… Range is quite substantial and it depends on Transmitting...
Problem after Upgrade to 2.9.3 from 2.9.2… Default ACL on Wlan IFs was set to reject… I could not change it to whatever no matter what…. Always reject! MAC Filtering DEFAULT ON and Reject ALL??????
