...and AFAIK tx-power setting is per chain. Mikrotik wiki says different: tx-power (integer [-30..30]; Default: ) For 802.11 ac wireless interface it's total power but for 802.11 a/b/g/n it's power per chain . So, according to wiki, the Tx Power setting in Netmetal/ Netbox 5 & other Mikrotik .a...

Will there be a LHG XL HP AC5, or maybe a QRT / DynaDish AC with the antenna gain between 27-29 dBi? We need something like the Ubiquiti Powerbeam 5AC-500 or 5AC-620 for high throughput links on longer distances. The 5 GHz spectrum is getting crowded. Shielded models, like the Ubiquiti Powerbeam AC ...

TikUser

Yes, it is kind of too good to be true.

I should probably add that the LHG ships with RouterOS License level 3, to the AP has to be upgraded to level 4. Not a big deal though.

You can make a PtP connection with the L3 license on both devices.

Ever since we started updating our devices to 6.33.x / Winbox 3.0 we have an issue running scripts on our equipment (CPE/Routers). When we're initially programming them we login to the mac with winbox, reset the defaults etc. Login again and paste a script into the terminal. Everything seems it wor...

TikUser

I have tested the script from user rextended (Created by user ovdeathiam and modified by user rextended.) on ROS v6.32.2 and it works just fine. Maybe something in your ROS configuration blocks the script from working properly. If the ip address doesn't update, then the script you found also doesn't...

Where are the DynaDish 5 antenna patterns (vertical / horizontal polarization return loss, vertical / horizontal polarization gain)? At which frequencies DynaDish works the best?

TikUser

There is no best script. Every script needs to be adapted to your needs. I would suggest you to search this forum and the Mikrotik wiki for Load Balancing (PCC) and QOS discussions/examples. There are also great TikTube videos which explain QoS and PCC. You can start building your script with these ...

Does wireless-6.24.npk = wireless-fp-6.24-.npk (except add ons like CAPS Man and AC support) or in wireless-fp-6.24.npk there are much more changes like in nv2 and etc? If we dont need CAPS-man or we dont use AC equipment which packed u prefer to use? No, wireless package is NOT equal to wireless-f...

So, now there are 3 wireless packages:
wireless,
wireless-fp,
wireless-cm2.

What will happen with the wireless-fp package? Will it be discontinued?

I'm having a very strange issue. My backup files on the 493g are getting bigger and bigger, but the configuration is the same . Only the textual backups have the same size. Where is the problem?

Please add the parameter "address-list" for the simple queue in ROS v6 ! it is not a dificult, but very usefull for many users thanks ;p +1 for that! Example of a hotspot configuration: - Dual wan (ISP1, ISP2). - PCC load balancing based on src-address. This means, I'm load balancing user...

TikUser

I'm also interested to hear where the problem is. Keep us informed.

TikUser

It could be, or you are missing some small detail. I'm using PCC without problems so far. Mikrotik users reported routing mark problems in the most recent versions of ROS. Make a text backup (not full backup). Reset your router configuration (with "No default configuration" enabled). Impor...

PCC breaks https connections when you are NOT using "src-address". Read my previous post. I updated it. I also posted a connection tracking configuration. This is not a problem with the PCC. HTTPS doesn't like when connections are coming from more than 1 ip address. Every time you modify t...

TikUser

- Do NOT use “both-addresses-and-ports“ as the PCC classifier. This option breaks https connections. Use „src-address“. You can also use „both-addresses“, but then you need to EXCLUDE https connections from PCC rules. - Check the settings in the satellite "modems". - Have you properly conf...

Hey mdkberry, it would be good to give us a visual scheme of your network. So, we could easily see what goes where. :-D First, do you want to do QoS for traffic going/coming to/from the internet, or for all the traffic? If it's the Internet, then your mangle rules need to be more precise. Example (i...

TikUser

Thank you! After researching this topic, I came to the conclusion that some of the Mikrotik values are too small, and that some of the Linux values are too big for my network. I'm testing values that are between those ranges.

TikUser

Ok! I've found the linux values here and here . There you can also find the timeouts for udp and icmp. I've noticed that Mikrotik timeout values are too small for my network. My ROS firewall is configured to drop invalid traffic (add action=drop chain=forward connection-state=invalid). So, sometimes...

I've done some research about timeout values in Connection Tracking .

Thank you for the quick response!

I'm having the same issue on one routerboard. MPLS is working. Labels are exchanged. Traffic is going through the VPLS tunnels without any problems. I can ping the routers (loopback adddresses). So, how to interpret this "problem"?

TikUser

another problem I can't work out yet is how to associate multiple interfaces to a queue, which I will need in this example since I have seperate LANs on seperate interfaces, but they need to use the same queue. I can't bridge the interfaces and apply it there, because two of the subnets have DHCP s...

TikUser

Hello pcunite! I've noticed something interesting in your rules. Have You used the examples from this Mikrotik wiki for HTTP and HTTP_BIG? The rule structure is pretty much the same. You are using the same connection rate and connection bytes values. Everything seems fine, except your comment(explan...

TikUser

No. You wrote that your download speed is 1Gbit(1000Mb). If that really is the case, then 1000Mb is your download max. limit. If your upload speed is also 1000Mb, then this is Your upload max limit. Your PCQ upload/download queues seem ok. Just add them in the Advanced tab under Queue Type. Look at ...

TikUser

In the Simple Queue the upload/download max limit MUST be specified. This is the limit for ALL users. The PCQ needs to know how much available bandwidth it has. In the PCQ Rate you specify limit per ONE user (maximal available data rate of each sub-stream). Example: If the max. download limit is 10M...

Good questions! I would also like to know.

I explained my situation here . The problem was probably in the 3.10 firmware. After many attempts, I was able to do a bios reset, load the backup bootloader, then Netinstall with ROS 5.26(3.07 firmware). The rb works now, and I'm testing it. On some rb-s my collegues already have installed ROS 6.5,...

I believe the presentation (Packet Flow and QoS v6) in the 1st video (from 7:16min) could help clarify the situation. This is for ROS v6.

Is it possible to replace internal with external antennas? Like in RB751G-2HnD. Are there MMCX or R-SMA connectors maybe? This is a great solution for wired connections, but for wireless, not so good. 2.5 dBi is not enough.
