Why is the CRS304 not called the CRS305? It has 5 wired interfaces, just like the existing CRS305 does. Management-only ports are excluded from the count, as they aren’t meant for general-purpose I/O. Prior art: CRS312, with 4× combo ports, 8× 10GigE, and a 100M management port. In both cases, the ...

Looking at the pictures you've posted, I'm genuinely wondering why do you have connection between LAN5 and LAN6 on RB2011 ?

Good morning, why isn't the name CRS522-4XS-16XQ-2XG-RM. In reality it has 22 Ports and the 2x 10G RJ45 are not mentioned at all. I'm getting confused by the naming scheme of Mikrotik.

Yes, I know. But I'm fine with downgrade because I was aiming for ccr2004 at start but post-COVID crisis made it unavailable and I stretched and bought 2116 instead. crs520 looks like will cost 2795 USD, 3x the 2116 cost, nice strategy...

I think it's finally time to wind down on 1gbit and go at least up to 2.5Gbit ports with POE, backed up with SFP+/10Gbe RJ45 ports.

Mellanox SB7890 is unmanaged Inifniband-ONLY switch. There is no way that you could connect him to regular ethernet network.

Actually, there is one way - to spend more money and buy Mellanox VLT-30034 4036E Infiniband swith which has Ethernet gateway, or some other similar switch.

Matta

You cannot achieve 25G, because QSFP+ cannot "divide" lanes in that fashion (it consist of 4x10Gb lanes, SFP28 is 1x25Gb).
IF it even worked with mentioned adapter and DAC, you would get 10Gb max.
On the other hand, connecting QSFP28 (100Gb) and QSFP+ (40Gb) is possible.

Matta

Do you have any other equipment from Mikrotik (ie, another CCR1036 or something else similar) ? Can you establish a pattern regarding PSUs dropping dead from all CCRs from Mikrotik ? Do you have replacement router, once that 1036 drops dead ? I surely would have one, considering it failing once a ye...

I am really happy to see my favorite equipment manufacturer catching WiFi 7train on time.

@Normis, in theory, will we see great benefits from WiFi 7 in PtP enviroments (I hope that you're planing to release something in that segment) ?

Matta

This update is full of bugs, I have to reset hAP Lite every 2 hours to reach normal speed.

How the hell did you update hAP Lite ? I'm missing few kilobytes to be able to squeeze in ROS and wirless package.

Matta

*) package - reduced package size for SMIPS

I still cannot ugrade hAP Lite from 7.13 to 7.14 (7.6MiB required, 7.5MiB free, although it's only few kilobytes that are actually missing).
Manual upgrade also won't pass, missing those few kb to upload wireless package.

Matta

As far as I know, when Mikrotiks are configured as PtP bridge you don't need to worry about VLANs going through. Their role is to pass all traffic and let other devices worry about VLANs and trunking. And of course, you can set their IP addresses to VLAN 100 range. Other story would be if you need t...

I was looking forward to see OmniTIK 5 PoE AX, LHG XL 52 ax and wAP ax.
Apparently, non yet (if at all).

Yup, already in beta versions. Tested it as well. I know it's a guessing game, but I cannot find what seems to be the problem. I have 2 pairs of PtP link, similar setup (apart for SSID names etc).

By the way, is there likely benefit for PtP link between 2 LHG XL 52ac, to go from 6.49.11 to 7.13, considering wifiwave 2 is available now ?

You can use LTE to do whatever you want. I don't believe that bridging is the solution but it all depends on network configuration. Basebox2 is currently working as pure AP, connected to RB3011. The plan is to connect Huawei E3372 to Basebox2 USB slot, raise PPP interface and route it toward RB3011...

Matta

But, can I make LTE bridge toward main router (for LTE connection to be used on entire network, not just users on Basebox) and use Basebox as regular AP in the same time ?

*bump*

If someone can answer me my last question, that would be great.

Thanks in advance !

Matta

Of course you can use it. It is just all about proper configuration, there is no reason why it won't work. I have Basebox5 and Huawei E3372 connected. Everything works fine Yes, I know it would work fine. But, can I make LTE bridge toward main router (for LTE connection to be used on entire network...

Matta

You can use any support USB modem or mPCIe modem. Just find one that works with your LTE bands. Yes, but with what Mikrotik outdoor device to pair it ? I have Basebox2 in use and it has USB slot. The question is: Can I use Basebox2 as bridge for LTE connection AND as normal AP in the same time ?

Matta

Since SXT LTE only supports band 3 and 7, is there a viable solution for LTE on band 20 (800MHz) ? Can I add LTE USB stick to some of the Mikrotik outdoor devices ? Or, would m-PCIe solution be better ? If yes, with what to proceed ? Can we expect (in the near future) support for more LTE bands from...

I'm trying to get it working butsomething is not right. This is firewall rules dump: /ip firewall address-list add address=192.168.4.101-192.168.4.254 list=forced_ether1-VDSL /ip firewall filter add chain=input comment="defconf: accept ICMP" protocol=icmp add action=fasttrack-connection ch...

Almost all of my new equipment has arrived and I was fiddling with it for the past few days. I've went from top (APs) to bottom (RB3011). I've managed to raise private network and guest network. Guest network is successfully VLAN-ed and RB3011 is handing out addresses. This is the story so far in sh...

Matta

I just wanted to check with you guys about current situation of this connection.
Is this OK connection, considering conditions in first post ?

Thanks

Just to clarify further: - if SSID name is, for example, "Internet access", both 5GHz and 2.4GHz SSIDs will be called like that, correct (I won't call them "Internet access 2.4" and "Internet access 5") ? - furthermore, if private SSID name is "Private access"...

Matta

Thanks m8, I'll have some more questions later on. Now, onto topic about 2.4/5GHz, same SSID and device roaming: As I said, my area is not wi-fi polluted and I can use 2.4GHz frequency without interference from other networks. Since I'm in process of buying most of those APs that are in my diagram, ...

Matta

Thanks for the quick reply ZeroByte ! It looks like a solid design to me. I would definitely recommend keeping the guest network as a separate VLAN from the standard LAN. Policy is one of the main reasons to create a separate subnet. If you try to do everything in a single flat network, then you're ...

Matta

Greetings ! Finally I decided to make some order into my two networks and to see what can I do to make better single network out of current two. Currently I have mixture of Mikrotik and consumer-grade equipment spread on two networks (one private and one public) but I would like to migrate fully to ...

Power adapter is reseting. Needs replace.

When I tried PoE injector from another SXT, I've tried with it's own power adapter (another power adapter).

Matta

Have you tried another POE? another cable?

Tried PoE injector from another SXT, same thing, LEDs blinking. Tried this PoE injector on another SXT and it's working. Therefore, PoE injector is working fine.
Tried different LAN cables too, same thing happening.

Matta

Greetings ! One of two SXT's that I have (the one working as CPE) suddenly stopped working (suddenly, as nothing has been tampered on it). When I opened trapdoors I saw USER LED and POWER LED blinking simultaneously. Furthermore, power LED on PoE injector is blinking in same "rythm" as tho...

Anyone ? BTW, found that I can exclude my mac address from limits via mangle but I'm uncertain whats is the best setup for that (details). Is there some kind of tutorial for this ? And, still haven't figured out is there a possibility to limit daily traffic for each mac address that connects (for ex...

Matta

Greetings ! I need your help please with this one: Running RB750G in router mode, with 3 APs connected via LAN ports. I need following: 1. Limit upload and download speed. Already done that with queues. 2. Limit daily traffic for each MAC address that connects. Can I do this and if yes, how ? 3. Exc...

Matta

Cybertod, thanks a lot for your help ! I was about to give up but then I raised one station 1 meter higher and got a very good link (24 hours now without drop). I'll experiment with height (and with settings) a bit more to get even better signal but it's great as is it now. http://www.dodaj.rs/t/31/...

Matta

Croatia is the same as in every other EU country.

But for the sake of testing, please tell me what setting to use to get highest transmit power possible.

Thank you once more

Matta

Greetings ! I've managed to setup above mentioned devices in point to point, approximately 800 meters distance, with not so proper "LoS" (with few treetops in the way). I would like few advices from you guys to get more stable link because I'm having difficulties maintain link, especially ...

Matta

Glad that you got it working. They are really nice little routers. 1.) I'd have to see your hotspot configuration to say for sure, but where did you define the limit? You'll want to have defined it under 'user profile'. If that's where you have it, I would try assigning it to the radius profile (I'...

Matta

Hi ! Apologies for not replying sooner but had lot of work and stoped working on Mikrotik. :) Anyway, thank you Fewi and Feklar for your help, I've managed to get it up and running. I really appreciate it very much. It seems I was making an error from step one when I was leaving some of the default ...

Matta

I thank you for wide and detailed answer. If it's really an access point and not a router, then it's a layer 2 device. Yes the MikroTik will be able to hand out DHCP over an access point. If you actually have routers, some of them will have an AP mode, or you can "trick" it into acting lik...

Matta

Mangement IPs shouldn't be assigned via DHCP. But if I set DHCP off on APs, how and will RB750 assign IP addresses to clients connected on certain AP ? I mean, is it possible for RB to assign dynamic IP if there's AP between him and client ? I apologize if I ask stupid question but I'm totally unce...

Matta

You might be right. Only thing I need is basically a healthy start, nothing else. Well, here is my prioritiy, I'll rephrase my first question: Hardware: - RB750G connected to DSL modem - Airlive WL-5460AP v2 (connected to RB via LAN) - D-Link DWL-2000AP+ (connected to RB via LAN) What is needed: - H...

Matta

Greetings all ! Although I played with older versions of Mikrotik in the past, I never really learned much about it. Now, I need your help to setup fairly simple hotspot. Hardware: - RB750G connected to DSL modem - Airlive WL-5460AP v2 (connected to RB via LAN) - D-Link DWL-2000AP+ (connected to RB ...
