Its the issue that an AP would stop passing traffic for some reason. I have just installed this version on three APs to see if it is fixed.

Also can confirm the no passwords by script bug.

I sent in two supouts on the Mikrotik stops passing traffic issue. Looks like there is a very noticeable increase in memory used just prior to the stop. So I sent in a high memory supout then and after reboot. Boards have been 433AH and 411AH with XR2s. APs in bridge mode. I have had three of them d...

ssid is missing in export compact. In webfig, the terminal doesn't always format correctly. Letters run down the side instead of the same row like a sentence. I have a ticket turned in on this one. tk PS: sorry, meant this to be in the 5.15 release notice. If it can be moved there that would be good.

In webfig, the system name is missing from the top right. Looks like that went away in 5.12.

On the cpu at 100%, in my case I use Zenoss to monitor the network. Zenoss re-models each device every 12 hours which uses snmp. At those intervals, I see 100% cpu warnings coming from the 5.7 ROS devices. I didn't see that in 4.17.

Can't paste into a terminal brought up from webfig. Would be useful, used it all the time in winbox. Using OSX and Safari or Firefox, current versions.

just wanted to throw my two cents in. I am very glad to see webfig. I use a MacBook and a motorola xoom and it works great with them. I use links from other programs to access routers and again works very well. Thanks guys for getting this going.

Anyone know the mib for the freq an AP such as a 411AH. I found it on the station in the private section, 14988.1.1.1.1.1.7 but that doesn't exist in the AP. Would be nice if there were in the same place so I can use the same template to monitor both AP and station in a point to point.

I will be another one to add my vote for this. I cannot find anything in snmp that shows this and right now I am having issues which my upstream reports as CRC errors.

tk

tlkhorses

You will need nstreme2 for that. I have 18.5 mile links and am running 30+ meg through them. Good signal strength is needed though, in the low 60's is the best. I have found that over 10 miles it is best to go with 3 foot dishes to get that speed.

Above is correct, Mikrotik followed strict 802.11 which does not provide for station bridging. If you upgrade to 3.x there is a pseudo-bridge for stations there. That works, I have some running.

Your remote mac entry in the nstreme dual interface on one side should be the mac of the rx radio on the other end.

I guess I am dense. I have tried to upgrade to RC8 on a RB333 which came with RC4. Uploaded the files via ftp and did a system reboot from winbox. Terminal via serial tells me it can't upgrade. So which version of software am I supposed to download to update the powerpc chip on this board?

Well, I have heard that Senao 1511 is being phased out. Anyone else heard this? Know of a prism alternative? If it is true and no alternative then its back to Atheros and the same problem.

I have since replaced the SR2 on one of the APs with a Senao 2511MP. This seems to have resolved the issue to a great extent.

On the 2.9 example above I get an error on the line adding the queue tree. I assume this has to do with parent=WAN. Something goes in the place of WAN? I assume this would be one of the interfaces. For instance on a wireless ap connection, the wlan1 would be LAN and the ether1 would be LAN?
