Found this at a client.
Nice try, but link bonding works a bit different...

congo

Which provider can do this? Dunaweb? :D No, but I don't know for sure who did the installation, so no names. :) This is a new client of ours, who had very low standards in IT before realizing it hurts the business. We literally find new kludges every day. Like this nice, twinned power cable. Having...

Another good find, an offset antenna with an "all purpose plastic connector box" used instead of a head.
Bandwidth reaches a lightning fast 1 Mbit/sec when the weather is fine.

Hello,

Does v6.13 contain the fix for [Ticket#2014050866000407] ?

congo

I wonder if this is fixed in v6.13. Cannot see it in the changelog...

Downgrading to v6.0 seems to be a fine workaround.

What port are you running PPPoE client on?
I am running it on ether1. I have RB2011s running fine at other sites with v6.10, where PPPoE client is on ether6.

congo

Hello, We have a serious issue with PPPoE client in RouterOS. At random intervals, the PPPoE client stops passing traffic. Seen from the PPPoE server side, it is still connected, but no data is passing. After a few hours it reconnects, then everything is back to normal. If disconnected from the serv...

On my home router (RB951G) v6.12 is crashing every few days, since installed.
I cannot recommend to use it in production.

It is nice to sell a rack enclosure, just to stuff equipment into it like garbage.
If the NAS does not fit on top of the PC, it will be okay to turn it 90 degrees.

Of course, delicate electronics have to be protected from dust, and other harmful effects.

Bump!

Anyone used OpenVPN successfully with incoming-filter or outgoing-filter?

congo

I'm glad someone understands my point

congo

I also think that RB250GS is a good product, however after using it for some time, I miss some features that other similar switches have. Forgive me, if it seemed that I don't like your switch offering, this is not the case. I would also like to see a MikroTik switch with more ports, and advanced fe...

Electrolytic Capacitors in general are just crap

high temperatures will kill them fast as well..

many manufacturers of parts have problems with caps.... very common.

Conspiration theories rock

congo

Would just like to throw in my 2 cents here, we would swap out all of our cisco switches if there was a 24 port mikrotik solution in a heart beat. So please do

Just for curiosity: why whould you do that? What type of Cisco switches are you using?

congo

dont solder in just any old cap... buy a good quality one. We are using YAGEO, because they are easily available locally. I don't know if they are really so bad. However, in one of the mentioned units, the only unchanged SU'SCON bulged, and our YAGEOs were intact. Nota bene: next time changing all ...

congo

I have some news. The first three RB450s that we changed caps in, around Oct. 2009, died this week, almost at the same time. They were running with different power supplies (I do not have the type or voltage with me now), and with the same replacement caps, which we bought at the local hobby electro...

congo

I have the same problem with upgrading the firmware. Already written to support. I suggest you to do the same.

congo

We have been changing capacitors on our failed RB450s for years, usually to 1000uF ones. The units work perfectly after the operation. Search on the forum, and you can find several topics about this.

congo

I also hope so, but people around me were clicking with cameras and phones like crazy all the time, so someone should probably share their photos of the slides

congo

I gave up, and stopped using MetaRouter for anything. It is interesting though, that some people in this forum still recommend running stuff in MetaRouter for production use.

congo

Please share your AP settings with me, because sometomes we see the speed drops to 1Mbps-SP. I would be very happy to have it constantly on 48 or 54Mbits...

The only "N" issie I have seen is that with 5db ant and card turned up, the client cant be too close to the AP and the client seems to get swamped.... the client can see the AP but can't connect... I usualy maintain a 2 foot rule... any closer and it gets wierd.... I get very good range, ...

congo

Hmm, checked on another computer with same IE and it looks okay. Must be some glitch with my computer. Sorry, my bad.

congo

Rudy,

Sorry for hijacking your topic. I wrote here because I'd like to join to your post regarding the lack of best practices in the manual.

congo

IE8 fully patched.

congo

For me the contents box in all Wiki articles is blue.

Example:

congo

Set strong password, disable unneeded services, create good firewall rules.
Use good VPN solution. IPSec and OpenVPN should be okay depending on the settings. Perhaps SSTP in RouterOS 5 will be better.

congo

It seems we are eager to read ALL of the new stuff

Now MikroTik has to come up with something for us for the 3rd page...

congo

In the PDF the page numbering says 1/3 and 2/3 but there are only 2 pages

congo

Did anyone say anything about actually using a Routerboard with R52n indoors? Because some people have outdoor point-to-point .11n links running fine (from all the comments it seems they are the minority :) ), and they say it should be okay indoors too. Has anybody tested this with for example noteb...

congo

If he has more customers than public IPs, it is understandable. Because there are a limited amount of ports to use for srcnat, if there are lots of customers with many simultaneous connections, you must NAT them to more than one public IP.

congo

It seems versions created only for support of a given platform only come with the hardware.

congo

how do you copy them, please describe the process so we can try to repeat it Double click on the firewall rule, then click the Copy button. Make some adjustments in the new rule and click OK. When the problem appears, the new rule is not editable after clicking Copy. Also I have to add, there are n...

congo

I had this issue from several computers, and with several routers. IMHO it is a problem with winbox. I cannot reproduce it on purpose though, seems to be completely random, but every now and then when copying lots of firewall/nat/mangle rules, I bump into this.

congo

Worked for me also, with winbox downgrade button. Maybe your 4.x package is broken. Check log after reboot.
works _only_ when try downgrade to 4.6 or below. problem was when i tried downgrade to 4.7

I downgraded to 4.7 and it worked

congo

Oh, and why do you think so?

congo

I also experienced this symptom, when being connected by IP, not MAC, with the newest Winbox. It happens mostly when copying firewall rules. Even the closing of the copied firewall rule doesn't work, the X in the corner is not clickable. Changing to another running app and back to winbox makes the X...

congo

You could try 3.30 pal. I also agree on v3.30 being the best (real) stable version (we have some routers still on 3.19 which was our former standard), but in this particular case we want to use 11n :) I had some serious headaches because of this RB411AH/4.x/R52n office AP not working properly and n...

congo

This SFQ bug is veeery interesting. Could be the cause of our several months torture with our office access point. I hope v4.8 will be out soon.

congo

Today I upgraded my RB450G to v4.7 because of the MetaROUTER fix mentioned in the changelog. Interestingly 4.7 for RB4xx is not available for me on the web, but I changed the version number in the URL of 4.6, and it worked. (One mirror served a corrupted file with the correct size so I had to downlo...

congo

I would also like to know that, regarding an office setup. We are using two MikroTik AC/SWI rubber ducky antennas with the RB411 indoor case.

congo

We are using RB411AH with R52N in an office environment. It is very unstable. I have written several times to these forums about this, and have been experimenting since buying this bundle with no success.

congo

Sorry for the question, but do you run ROS4 on the board? (3.x does not have support for 11n cards.)
OTOH, please share your experience regarding the R52n card. We had to throw them all out, because the performance was unacceptable.

congo

Hi!

Is there any update on this issue?

congo

I have the same problems. See http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=38437 I have been struggling with these issues for several weeks. The users of the MT AP are complaining all the time, because the performance is unacceptable. We had to put our flaky old AP back into service. I will mak...

We have also seen this.

Since the RB450G has minipci, and the R52N is also minipci.. it should work right?

Where did you get the info from, that RB450G has minipci? Sorry to say, but it doesn't have any slots to add a wireless card.

congo

I have similar problems. I think this is a configuration issue in my case, so I'm trying to experiment with hw.retries, adaptive noise immunity and other advanced settings (after successfully picking a fairly free channel). This ap is indoors, with notebooks connecting from a few meters, so I think ...

congo

The current ones are 560uF and 6.3v, so would these be OK?

Maybe someone with more knowledge on electronics will jump in, but I think the values are the same, so it should be safe.

Mine has been running with the replaced caps for 95 days now

congo

Hello all! I would like to commission a new access point in our office, and swap the flaky ProCurve 530 AP that is currently in place.

also, limit BT to some values making cpu load above 50 but below 70 or 80 percent. Today btest was running for about an hour (~60% CPU), it did not hang during that.

older version that 4.4 will have other bug that was fixed when you router just crashed and was rebooted by watchdog timer. It's back on 4.4 now.

While in the "hanging" state, the system did not answer ICMP packets (RouterOS or OpenWRT) and also did not react to key presses on the serial console. After the said time of up to 60 seconds, the system ran normally, but nagios (running inside the OpenWRT/Metarouter) showed extremly high...

Nice

I'd also like to know, if these are isolated issues, or some kind glitch with a particular series of RB450s - we have many of them in production, and this was the first one we sold.

congo

Okay Jim, good luck!

congo

The capacitors have been changed. The local electronics shop could not give me capacitors with the same capacitance, so I bought 1000uF ones. They are also slightly bigger, but just fit into the indoor case.

The board now boots okay, I can log in, so I suppose it works perfectly.

I have 450 routerboard, about 1 year old, and it appears to have died! The symptoms are that when first powered up the blue LED comes on for about half a second, and then goes out.

I had the same problem. E-mailed support and they upgraded to a test version of 3.24, that is unreleased. It works OK now.
MetaROUTER doesn't seem to work on RB450G with 3.23.
