I have two Mikrotik routers at different locations on different ISPs. I am trying to set up an L2TP/IPSEC VPN between them and have been unsuccessful. I followed the following link very closely but have not been able to make it work. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/L2TP_%2B_IPSEC_between_2_Mikrotik_ro...

I have been messing with a WDM mesh setup for a while now. My issue is that even when the radios connect to each other, a day later, a week later, who knows, data will stop flowing. The radios will continue to connect to each other but no traffic will cross the network. To get data to flow again, I ...

OK, I got it working. My problem was using the bridge. I had the bridge set up already and the instructions do not show using a bridge. I moved everything over to the Mesh and just treated it as a bridge.

P.S.: I forgot to tell you. Since you are using tx-power=-30 you will need to make sure the following is changed:

tx-power-mode=all-rated-fixed

That will point the router to the value you put in tx-power. If you haven't done that, that is why your power levels don't seem to be changing.

Antenna gain is used to calculate total radiated power. Different countries have different regulations on ERP (effective radiated power) and the router will help make sure you aren't exceeding that (it will lower power when you are above the ERP because you have a high gain antenna). This is also a ...
