Seems like everything will change with RouterOS v7.13

Wireless goes to be separate package, WiFi menu will get bundled, new wifi drivers will be split into 2 packages: wifi-qcom-ac (for ac devices), wifi-qcom (for ax).

See WiFi at RouterOS Documentation

Hi!
I've read in the announcement that RB850Gx2 supports hardware encryption.
Is MPPE supported?
In case of thix box acting as small PPTP server.
Thanks for attention.

mcdebugger

Yeah, we're still waiting for this..

mcdebugger

I lost connection to 3 of 21 RB750s that I've upgraded and also they can't ping anyrhing via ether1 interface (which is connected to our distribution net). I needed to get my bicycle and go on the night to ride across the town. Connected via our wi-fi hotspots that plugged to "LAN" or acce...

mcdebugger

Seems like it's not working on PPTP and GRE interfaces of my RB2011. Do you plan to support fasttrack on GRE/PPTP/etc ?
It's a common practice when PPTP connection to ISP is used.

mcdebugger

+1 for usb printing or usb over IP

mcdebugger

+1 for IPerf. As addition to previous purposes: it's good to test wireless link from mobile running iperf client/server. And of course to test bandwidth between pc box and mikrotik.

mcdebugger

Any news on CAPsMAN? See nothing in changelogs for recent versions, do U have some development on the topic?

mcdebugger

We expect a RC1 today

Good news. Waiting for new beta

Also wanted to note that beta3 works fine for me and I switched to Winbox 3 since beta 2 using it till now. Using it on Windows XP and under Wine on Gentoo Linux.

Same problem on RB1200 with FW 3.10 ROS 6.24 (and earlier versions starting from some 5.xx, I didn't have 4.xx on this board).
Serial: 2CD4*
On every single routeros upgrade I need to power cycle device cause it's not booting. I tried to wait for minutes to boot, still no luck.

mcdebugger

Wow! Fresh look! I like it, feels good

mcdebugger

Any news / rumors on topic?

mcdebugger

Yes, you should. Here you have two choises 1) Add route to guest subnet on CRS via RB951. NAT only to WAN. 2) Add NAT on RB951 with SNAT (to source: ip address in LAN connected to CRS) for guests. No need to add route on CRS to guests in this setup, but it's additional cpu load and memory use for N...

mcdebugger

I've also seen this feature in RouterOS, and haven't found anything within any manual / docs.
Rumors says, RB850Gx2 can utilize it in the future.

We will see...

Thanks for reply. We'll wait for some more info

mcdebugger

Anything about hw fast path in Mikrotik / RouterOS? Roadmap, teasers/spoilers, rumors?

)
At least which series of devices (switches like CRS or routers like CCR) planned to support it and when?

mcdebugger

Continuing with the same setup, I also have dude server on CRS125, can access it remotely, also can run tools/winbox remotely from the dude. But can not access rb951 winbox from the dude. I have opened the port on both devices for remote access but probably need some more firewall rules to access r...

mcdebugger

bump. any news on this?

mcdebugger

I think that the problem is that your proxy replies with it's own address (192.168.1.100) to clients. Make sure that it replies with original destination ip to client (reply to client must be from the same address that client used as destination). Of course you need to forward correctly this on rout...

mcdebugger

I solved windows server problem and now moving on to guest wlan configuration.. If your guests will be connecting only from WLAN, you don't need to add wlan interface to a bridge. Just add IP address directly to wlan2, adjust DHCP server on wlan2 and some pools for it on RB951. But here you will ha...

mcdebugger

Is your RB951 switch master port (ether1?) added as bridge port? Are your clients on wlan1 (I think it's not guest wlan) receiving IP from DHCP server? Yes, ether1 is master and bridged with wlan1. Solved already, it was some kind of winbox glitch, conected with another pc/winbox and it is fine now...

mcdebugger

Everything seems to be working fine in my test environment (RB951's clients are getting IPs from CRS etc.) but there is one problem. When I activate DHCP client on RB951 bridge interface, I can't see the RB951 itself on CRS's client list and unable to connect to RB951 with winbox untill reset. It s...

mcdebugger

Thanks, I got the idea. My plan is this scenario: -> CRS as switch + router, all ports in same switch chip on RB951, bridged with wlan - you configure your pools, etc on CRS. Let's say my CRS adress pool for office LAN is 192.168.11.1/24 and I also add virtual AP on RB951 for guests say wlan2-guest...

Hi MT community, I was inspired enough by RB951G as my home router, so decided to upgrade my office network with MT hardware. We have quite simple up to 20 users (LAN+wifi) network with windows server and few remote desktop users. My plan is to upgrade old 24p switch to CRS125 to do switching, rout...

mcdebugger

Also check are all chains on BaseBox enabled. (Wireless interface settings - HT - TX chains, RX chains).
This can improve both coverage and performance.

mcdebugger

Thanks for assisting it worked great :) but WiFi range is not what i expected, can i use some other Antenna to increase maximum WiFi coverage area like ubiquiti AirMax Omni Antenna? You can use antenna you want, just look that it supports needed frequency range. Also ensure that you have all needed...

mcdebugger

Wow! I see Mikrotiks' started conquiring wireless market. This is good tendency. And that's why we need roaming support even more

mcdebugger

mcdebugger; Can you please brief little bit more i am new into this mikrotik OS. Where to change all these settings in my basebox2 OS, like where to assign static IP 192.168.1.2 My goal is to expand WiFi range of my existing linksys router just connecting LAN port of basebox2 wired with Linksys Rou...

mcdebugger

You just need to create bridge with wlan interface and ethernet interface that is going to your LAN port on router as ports of this bridge. Assign IP address to a bridge to communicate with Mikrotik AP from the network. Adjust SSID and security settings on Mikrotik AP to be the same as on Linksys ro...

mcdebugger

There is no provision in the 802.11 spec currently for AP assisted roaming. Its currently all up to the clients wifi drivers. There isn't even a provision in the spec as to when a client should roam. The only difference between using CAPsMAN and setting up discrete access points all configured the ...

I have some packets lost when switching between APs', 0.5-2 seconds gap in CSipSimple (SIP client for Android). You may want to look at increasing your coverage density if you get dropped packets and have a need for VoIP on your wireless. It was tested in near perfect environment with signal from b...

mcdebugger

Maybe this will make us closer to 802.3af, 802.3at common support?
SXT ac supports real 802.3af/at standard.

Yup I saw it

) Thanks for this!
I mean in all future products

mcdebugger

The only thing that is not connected to the seamless, but the channel you want to specify more than one CAP to do would be set all the same? You can add different channel settings in Channels tab and then manually select it for each CAP. I added 3 non-overlapping channels to Channels and select som...

mcdebugger

Thank you for answer. It is that if I bridge to configure the datapath, it is roaming. It's not a seamless Unfortunately, I wonder would not be helped it's current status. But I was very helpful. I know you'll do the same for someone else ;) As for seamless roaming we should wait for devs from Mikr...

mcdebugger

As for now you can use a bridge in datapath configuration.
It will roam ok between APs'. Also you may want to setup access list for dropping low-signal clients (for them to reconnect to strongest AP).
Roaming will not be seamless but at least it's working.

mcdebugger

Please check antenna gain configuration on AP. You'll need to temporarily disable acting it as a CAP to change wireless interface settings. Also check are you not out of range of permitted tx power in your country (selected at channel settings in CAPsMAN).

mcdebugger

Vote for this too.

mcdebugger

You just need to set one bridge/datapath configuration for your caps in CAPsMAN (either via provisioning or manually for each CAP) and it will just work. It's not seamless but for now it's working just fine. I have some packets lost when switching between APs', 0.5-2 seconds gap in CSipSimple (SIP c...

mcdebugger

I see AP/CAP led on the pictures. Does it mean it was designed from start to work as a CAP with CAPsMAN and can indicate that it's controlled by the manager or works as a standalone AP? Is 0.8A real power consumption of the mAP? It means it can't be powered by other mAP via PoE? In my mind I have so...

mcdebugger

Maybe this will make us closer to 802.3af, 802.3at common support?

mcdebugger

Just checked access lists on my RB912UAGs'. Works pretty well, clients dropping when signal less then accepted and reconnects to other AP. Packets lost while reconnecting are 1-3 icmp ping pkts (interval 1s). While using SIP (test on-hold) with my Android device (Nexus 5) and CSipSimple there is sho...

mcdebugger

We would like the units to only look at the three non overlapping channels (in the UK channels 1,6 and 11) when set to auto channel, means the units will not cause issues with other channels. Maybe I am missing the point, but the Auto feature already rules out any overlap problems, because it actua...

mcdebugger

Vote for this too.
Really like Mikrotik products and it's sad that ubnt already implemented some alternative solution while we don't have one.
But at least I hope it's starting to appear and developing CAPsMAN is a really good step.

mcdebugger

Does somebody tested seamless roaming in different cap modes? Does it work? I'm just waiting for 2 baseboxes to come so I'll test it soon. Just wanted to know if someone did it already.

Is L3 switching planned? I mean wire speed L3 switching or at least on-switch-chip arp proxying that is fast as a demon?
Really nice to see it on aggregation to enable fast switching between clients sitting each on his own vlan.

If you use a radius server then also disable mppe on it (by the attribute attached to user/group).

If I understand correctly I should pass the following attribute from RADIUS server to Mikrotik NAS:

MS-MPPE-Encryption-Types=0

Am I right?

mcdebugger

Where can I find information about Routerboard models supporting hardware MPPE encryption for PPTP? My RB750 can't through more than 20 mbit per second and I can't disable MPPE while using chapv2 authentication. Please help me to make decision.

mcdebugger

Same problem here. At least on RB750 box. Don't remember if this happened on my RB1200.
