MikroTik

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...

Matta

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

Thanks for all reply. As you said it wors pretty well and transfer all VLANS. But I have new issue. I test embeded bandwith test between two devices. Tested in receive, send and both mode. All of them show just 1.2 Mbps. The distance is 20 Meter. Do you have any idea? Hmm, strange. Is it line of si...

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).

EDIT:
Also, Chateau 5G R16 - 16MB storage ? Seriously ? In 2024. ?

Matta

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). Both pairs were on 6.49.11. I've upgraded both pairs to 7.12.1 and both were working. Now I upgraded o...

Matta

Upgraded two LHG XL52 ac (PtP setup), settings were intact, no issue with signal (-42), devices register themselves on one another (both 2GHz and 5GHz), but can't see other LHG via Winbox.
Any clues ?

EDIT: on 7.12.1 was working perfectly.

Matta

Another issue: I tried to downgrade to version 7.12.1 and also doesn't work!!

I am so annoyed! and first time I hav...

Matta

Matta

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 ?

Matta

I've uploaded routeros-arm-6.49.11.npk, hit downgrade button, LHG reboots with 7.13 version
If you have another packet except the main uninstall him first. Then make downgrade procedure!

Thanks m8, that did the trick !

Matta

I've uploaded routeros-arm-6.49.11.npk, hit downgrade button, LHG reboots with 7.13 version

Apparently I'm doing something wrong. Tried with downgrade option but no success.

The reason you cannot run both guest-wlan and private-guest2 interfaces at the same time is that you've configured identical MAC addresses for both of them.

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.

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...

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...

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/...

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

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'...

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...

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...

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 ...
