This contrasts with regular hub-type networks, where a failure in a central router or switch could cut large parts of the network off from each other. Repeaters, on the other hand, do not increase a network's resilience. If the router or access point broadcasting the original wireless signal goes d...

Audience does not use classic MESH with repeating...! Its better than that...! Classic Mesh does NOT use repeating period. be careful not to get into the weeds on a 'repeater'.

With the addition of Audience, I think it's time to bring this up again. There should be no technical or licensing limits stopping this feature and it's in mainline kernel for a long time. mikrotik's current mesh is not very good. It's little more than an RTSP replacement for 'repeater mode' APs and...

syadnom

Audience does not use classic MESH with repeating...!
Its better than that...!

ok... then export the config from audience and show me that it doesn't have that radio just shoved into the mesh interface.

syadnom

I believe that Audience is simply putting the 3rd WiFi interface in WDS dynamic mesh with WDS bridged to an HWMP+ mesh and letting it run. What I found is that putting the ethernet port in as a WDS interface cures the problem of it not being part of the mesh. The problem is that this implementation ...

80Mhz is near impossible to pull off full performance outdoors in 5Ghz. You’d have to be in the wilderness 20 miles from any homes and well below the tree line.

speaking of openvpn, https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/949
there's a FEC enabled build with results. This is exactly what I'm wanting to see.

syadnom

Yes, I also use BFD the same way. It works ok for when a link goes completely down, but when there's packet loss it either flaps up and down over and over, or doesn't even bother (if the loss is too low). So, again manual intervention is needed for cases like that. I haven't used tinyfecvpn, but fr...

Mimosa uses the Quantenna chipset which is a BEAST.

I guess what you guys missed is that I'm using this to great effect already, I just want to get it included in Mikrotik to remove an extra piece of hardware and simplfy design.

syadnom

I’m not sure why the narrow focus on the last mile. MOST isps are going to be some 6-15 hops on 3-5 different carries to get to a remote resource. So who cares that LTE has built in error correction that converts loss into latency. The delivery tech has no bearing on the goal. End to end FEC to redu...

Multiple LTE cards is the way to go IMO It would be nice to have an AT&T/TMobile version that supports 2,4,5,12,17, 66, 71 These two vendors (especially TMobile) are extrememly popular in the US for the types of services mikrotik fits. I'm using wAP LTE-US with TMobile now and it's great having 2,4,...

syadnom

must be.

syadnom

nothing? why is it so hard to find a compatible modem.

syadnom

I'm looking for an LTE card that is known working that covers bands 2,4,12,66,71

The Mikrotik US modem does 2,4,12, but I'm finding areas where the best service is on 66 and now 71.

I would also settle for a USB modem that supports these and works if a mPCIe isn't available/known.

syadnom

Standard T-Mobile sims work perfectly. Something about the m2m/iot plan filters IMEIs for anything that is known to ‘tether’ apparently.

syadnom

@gotsprings

I think you missed my need.

I need a slow but constant flow of data. Say a range of 10-200Kbps with an average of 20Kbps.

Ends up right about 6GB/Month.

This fits the T-Mobile M2M 512k plan perfectly, but I can't get the wAP LTE-US to reliably connect with mikrotik's radio.

syadnom

I need a steady stream of packets that end up being ~4-6GB The $10 2GB plan just doesn't cut it and the 6GB plan is too expensive.

M2M SIMs are a perfect fit, if I can find a modem that is allowed on that network and is mikrotik compatible.

syadnom

T-Mobile’s M2M service doesn’t work though. It’s imei filtered and the mikrotik LTE card isn’t on the approved list.

syadnom

I'm using BGP to handle some VPN routing because it updates the routing table quickly (WAY better than OSPF, and simpler). The problem I'm having is that if a tunnel interfaces goes down and then comes back up, it takes BGP about 30 seconds to try to peer again. If I disable the peer and enable it's...

upvote. also expanding on the netwatch, it's not fast enough AND it's CPU utilization is WAY too high.

just linking in my request http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=105277

I really would like to have this setup in HA, but need the integration tools/kernel module to do so. I believe this should be pretty easy to integrate, but can only be done by mikrotik.. Thanks.

Can we get vmware and xentools into the CHR release asap please? This facilitates a number of features, especially in xenserver. You can't do live-migration and full HA without the xentools....

I can't figure out how to get this to work. I want the loopback IP address to be how I connect my radius 'userman' server to the client routers but I can't get it to work.

What kind of throughput can I expect on the CCR1009 with simple queues? I can't seem to find any good performance numbers out there.

Hi. I have a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ with RouterOs veresion 6.15, about ~1700 simple queues and ~300 firewall rules. Max CPU usage 70%. I cant reach queue max limit. I can only achive about 70% of speed. For testing purposes I left about 400 queues, then speed limitation works correctly. Is MikroTik/CCR ...

I had a piece of x86 hardware fail. I've pulled the drive and can see the files. All I really need is to pull the queues out, I see that they are in rw/store/net... but the idx and dat files are of an unknown format so I'm not able to get usable output... ideas?

Just installing my first install CHR and playing with it. Hyper-V host. The time service is off. It seems to take the time from the host. But it ignores the datetime offset.

Please try importing it one last time in v6.34rc45 and if it fails then generate supout file after this attempt and sent it to support@mikrotik.com we will check why db does not want to load.

This is about the only thing holding me up...

whan you mean - upgradable? It should be from the start upgradable to newer version. Only when you run out of the lincese time upgrade is not possible.

EOIP is used over internet , not local network . You are stuck with 1500 MTU so EoIP *must* fragment full-size packets. EoIP has a 42 byte overhead so you are fragmenting any packet over 1458 anyway.

GPS is not that expensive. Look at the ePMP. debatable. Cambium had a LOT of Motorola expertise at hand so didn't have to scratch start a GPS sync system, saving a ton of money.

No. Back2Back the APs can receive and send at the same channel at the same time. So you double capacity of the tower. A sending AP do not listen while sending. So it is not disturbed by the second AP sending at the same channel. CPEs do only receive the signal of one of the APs. And when front2back...

syadnom

No. You can use same channels back2back. The APs do not interfere due to GPS and the CPEs reach the second AP from the back side. The AP Antennas need a good Front2back ratio. I said 'at full capacity'. GPS sync doesn't let you have 2APs deliver their full individual throughput simultaneously, they...

Use power supply below 18 volts, if picostation have more power the picostation don't startup.

The person responsible won't accept a private IP and a netmap 'because'. So I'm a bit stuck
