You can use the queue name in place of the number. Same is true for any menu where unique names are required (e.g. interface). In menus that don't support this, you have to use a query to get the ID of the item(s) you want to target. e.g. <?php require_once 'PEAR2_Net_RouterOS-1.0.0b6.phar'; use PE...

I'm trying to reset the simple queue counters on a specific queue from the API using PHP (not all queues)

It does not appear to be possible to specify a queue by anything but the queue number, and it doesn't seem to be possible to get the number from the API ?

Anyone else do this ?

Thx

So I am also wondering on how these Mikrotik guys do it. We tried now 3 different setups with scenarios where sync could save us spectrum but it just won't work.

Zod

Doubleclick on a Submap in Dude client takes you to the Submap. But the same Submap object is not clickable in the Dude Web view. Instead you have to go back and choose that map from the Network Maps menu in Webfig view ?

How do you 'drill down' in web view ? Or is it not possible ??

You mean Nv2 Sync not for PTP mode bridge? And if we change mode by QRT5 ap bridge, then work? QRT must be AP and then only works if the QRT5 is on the same frequency as the AP on that tower.

@zod Yes mikrotik is thinking Wireless Works that way Yes - that is painfully evident. They seem to be living in the B/G days when near channel interference didn't impact us very much.

It's possible you're getting bitten by the RSTP change. Do you have spanning tree enabled? If so you may need to do some reworking to get the devices sorted as others have noted.

I'm trying to formulate some rules for VLANS on Mikrotik. My hope is that if they were followed anyone could build VLANs on MT to do what they want.

Looks like I was mistaken about this being resolved. The problem still exists with the 1100AHx2 on 6.7. After a 12 days in production it started dropping ~2% packets for no reason.

QOS is not a simple topic. At the high level you must mark everything that enters your network or have valid reason trust that it is marked correctly ( trust boundary and a trust relationship).

You would need to portmap from the hotspot public interface through to the router, which can be a bit tricky and 'dangerous'. Easier to use an application like teamviewer on a PC on the inside of the TPLink and remote control a desktop inside your LAN that can then access the TPLink from the LAN side.

I disagree with n21roadie. I don't think you have a Hardware problem. The issue is that you need more height to get F1 and preferably F2 above the Trees.

Check the VSWR on the antenna, cable and pigtail. If you don't have a meter, then swap the 1]Card, 2]pigtail, 3]LMR and 4]antenna in that order to see which one it fixes it.

Zod

Sounds like an obstructed shot. Are you clear on at least Fresnel 1 ? Look at it in Radio mobile, or maybe Google Earth and see what's in the way.

NV2 at 1slot and 18km may help a bit by controlling the lag on the link, but that's not the real solution. You need Clear Fresnel.
