Is it really even working on your other machine? What I mean is, if it is an x86 (PC) where are the +12 and +5 volt rails? what is it monitoring in the voltage? Also, what the heck is reading at -2 degrees C, is this board outside in the snow? Sorry, I know this really doesn't help, but it seems str...

Steve0

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you need a routerboard for this function to work. Maybe also your chipset is not supported.

Steve0

First of all, is cost an issue? A base 493 with case, 2x wireless cards, antenna's and connectors, will cost around $265 USD. Do you need/want Gigabit ethernet (add about $50 for 493G)? I don't believe you can combine 2x wireless cards for better speed, (at least not for consumer devices, I.E. Lapto...

I use a Parent-Proxy too.

Steve0

Now what Normunds?

Blame the messenger...

Steve0

Does the same for me on a RB450G.

Note: Should this not be RouterOS 5.12RC and not 5.1 Stable?

Steve0

I had a simular need/want. I run 15 - 30 clients/devices. I have a RB450G (I did not want to upgrade if I needed more performance.) All wired connections are 1Gbps, and I use a well known rival to MikroTik for my Access Point(s) . Your off-the-shelf router, if conigured properly should suffice as an...

Steve0

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

If i'm not mistaken, as long as the DHCP server does not lose power, the lease is still active, and the client MAC Address does not change, when the client reconnects it will get the same/previous IP Address.

Hope this helps.

The quides at infodotnet seem to be from 2007 and use version 2.9.43 of RouterOS. I suspect this as an issue, since there have been improvements to RouterOS since then.

Steve0

Upgrade to version 3.30 or better.

Steve0

it's quite easy to get mentioned brand routers for that price. depends on what you need.

one of the reasons why RouterOS is still the best

Exactly, ~$100 routers with the support that goes on here, Well worth the occasional bug...

But... bashing will... and, does happen.

Steve0

RouterOS 4.7 working on my RB450G with no problems. As matter of fact my only problem (ROS 4.6) with the "Torch bug" is fixed. For all of you with problems/complaints, here is a quote from another forum: I haven't found any piece of IP equipment without it's problems in all the years I wor...

Trial and error is going to get you most of the way. Search the forums and wiki for each topic/feature you want to setup. If you need it fast, you probably need to hire a consultant. What version of RouterOS are you trying to setup?

Just put the user in a class of "abusers"

Steve0

Ok maybe I'm spoiled, but its clear as day @ 1920 × 1080 on a 52", @ 1680 x 1050 on a 19" and @ 1280 x 800 on a 15.4"

Maybe a bookmark would work for you then.

Steve0

haha, sorry Normis, I was just a little faster

I did not think of the link at the bottom though.

I have a theory however. I think it's the modems fault. I believe it needs a couple of seconds to start after receiving power. I don't know exactly how much time after starting to receive power, the RB provides power through the usb. /system routerboard settings set boot-delay=9s I have no experien...

Steve0

I believe this would set up the interfaces for your networks /ip dhcp-server add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 authoritative=after-2sec-delay bootp-support=\ static disabled=no interface=ether2 lease-time=3d name=dhcp2 relay=\ 192.168.2.1 add address-pool=dhcp_pool2 authoritative=after-2sec-delay bootp-su...

Steve0

So this config worked for you? Did you use same/similar setup config? Any tweeks you found helpful? As I said I'm still learning RouterOS and Linux myself so I'm curious.

Steve0

Try downloading a large file from a site known to be slow, then you have to get the file out of your local cache on the pc downloading this file, (or move to another machine) then download file again and see if you get it at full LAN speed. Depending on how your squid server is setup you could check...

Steve0

Intriguing idea, I kinda thought it might work as a sort-of port expander for a 750G or such. I do wish it was a RB280GS, 8 ports if I understand naming convention right. As far as it running off of 12v, I don't see why not if the specs say 9-28v, 12v is somewhere in the middle.

Steve0

(off-topic)

I would recommend that if you want a proxy-cache to use a squid server. I found I get better performance from my cache, more storage, and some nice logs.

Steve0

Not to be rude, but... http://forum.mikrotik.com/search.php There are may posts on this subject. I dont know your needs/config but you could try also blocking any unnecessary ports (IE leave only HTTP, DNS or such). I don't know if this works though, I think I read somewhere here torrent might just ...

Steve0

More info please.

Steve0

There is no true-fire way to block torrent, search the forums and you will understand what I mean. I admit this is both good and bad, in that torrent has it's advanages in lowering server load from the main host, but kills an ISP bandwidth.

Steve0

I too had problems with the micro-sd card only being found some of the time, reboot worked sometimes, try this: /system routerboard settings set boot-delay=9s I actually changed the boot delay to make the router sync up with my cable-modem after complete hard reboot of both devices, but it seemed to...

We sail not only routerboard but also power supplies and technical services. The users always consider that our prices aren’t expensive because they don’t compare the prices with which they find on Google. Thus the users easily accept our prices and it’s much more beneficial to the products’ market...

Steve0

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think what we're talking about here is rebranding, (ie trying to pass it off as your own work) not whether you can make a profit from selling/setting them up.

Steve0

Unfortunatly, it seems (to me) you just have to try the card to see if it works. I am using a 2GB PNY card in my 450G that cost me $2.50 USD (got in a pack of 2 for $5 USD) and it works fine. Xymox posted their 2GB PNY didn't work although.

Steve0

I use a PicoStation 2HP and a RB450G. (Very stable) Like the above poster said, you might not be able use such a high power device in your country. A standard PicoStation 2 and a RB750G (unless you only need 100Mbit) would do fine for a beginner Router/AP and not break the bank. (Approx $115 USD)

Steve0

Not a joke...

I thought MikroTik knew about this, but now maybe not. Looks like MikroTik products to me, and who knows how much they charge.

Steve0

I'll try -the ip of squid is the same range, physical port with other clients? My network is 10.0.0.0/8 ,so (I think) yes it is in the same range as all clients on my network. At the moment the squid server is on its own port on my RB450G, but could be on any port as I set it up on a port connected ...

Steve0

I think you might be able to do this with the hotpot feature. Edit the login page to tell your customers Service is down for maintainence, and turn hotspot on when needed.

If anyone has any better Ideas please chime in, I am in no way an expert.

Steve0

Funny, I also wanted to do this same config... Just finished a few days ago. Here's what I learned: Mikrotik: /ip proxy set always-from-cache=no cache-administrator="" cache-hit-dscp=4 \ cache-on-disk=no enabled=yes max-cache-size=none max-client-connections=\ 600 max-fresh-time=3d max-ser...
