As for Grove 52, would 5 GHz work on that device? - I feel it makes more sense to get ubiquity on 2 and 5 GHz for spectral scanning than MT, however better (more precise) the Dude scanning is.

Re: not enouth disk space

Shutdown the CHR and increase the HD size in ESXi allocated to the CHR. Restart the CHR and it should automatically pick up the increased disk size. You could also add another virtual drive in ESXi for the Dude files. This will stop it over running and crashing the router when it runs out of space.

Re: Setup suggestion for mini-ISP (not really an ISP) [SOLVED]

Can this be done with just 1 router and one managed switch (with VLANS at switch level)? And then further switch and an AP at each house obviously.
You could do this with just one router, a RB1100AHx4. Does the ISP provide a copper ethernet connection to their NTU?

Re: Low gain outdoor dual pole antenna

You could use a Mikrotik mANT-15s.

Re: Wireless channels problem

I tried frequency usage and this is it:

I can't connect to 2432, 2437, 2442, 2447 MHz. 
2427 and 2452 MHz are fine.
The scan shows the channels you are not able to connect on are in use.

hEX PoE https://routerboard.com/RB960PGS
Supported input voltage 12 V - 57 V

Re: Self-Supporting Towers

I'm looking for a self-supporting tower in the range of 40-60 foot.
That's utility pole size. Given the quantity of utility poles these would be more competitively priced and have a greater rang of suppliers.

Re: Guest network can ping google.com, but not browse

Could it be a problem with MTU size? How can I change that?
I've seen it happen a few times with MTU mismatch. Ping works for small packets but browsing is very slow and Skype and some other apps completely fail to connect.

If you've forgotten the RouterOS password it can only be reset by reinstalling the router -

Re: Rural outdoor 4G / LTE Setup

What I'd like to do is build an outdoor router that has a 4G card in it that can interface into an external 4G antenna (so that I can get something up in the air in the corner of my land that I get a signal to hopefully improve it). The land is approx 1 acre, its a square with a few tress on the ed...

Re: PtMP 4km Advice

Radio C will have variable ping and traffic latency when it has to receive A then re-transmit on to B. To improve the performance put another LHG5 at point C for the path A-C. Pings vary also when the links are idle. The wireless router at C is causing your throughput issue. It has to buffer the in...

Try a SSTP tunnel -

The use of TLS over TCP port 443 allows SSTP to pass through virtually all firewalls and proxy servers.

Open Winbox and look at the Firewall filter rules on the router as you attempt to log in. The counters will show you what rule effecting the connection.

Hello, I would like to use "mANT30", but in my country (Czech Republic) the maximum EIRP in 5500-5700 MHz is about 27dBm. According to manual there is an option to set negative power in dBm (-30 .. 30), which will effectively solve the problem (transmit power between 1um and 1W). Dependin...
