Switch1

rtacheny

We have a couple of RB3011s in our network that are handling OSPF on our towers. Everything was working fine until we swapped out our AF-5XHDs for AF-11FXs. Now every once in awhile all ports in the switch chip that the AF-11FX are connected to will disconnect for 2-3 seconds and reconnect. This hap...

Exactly my point. The beta with iPhone fixes is not public yet. Please wait a little bit. it's being released today

Normis,

Seems this thread is getting away from the original topic...

That being said, did you have any details on when we could expect a new wireless driver in rOS?

rtacheny

You are right, that MikroTik made wireless driver doesn't have Wave2 support, so new chipset benefits are not there. We are working on a new driver. Normis, Do you have any kind of estimate on when we could expect the new driver with support for Wave 2? We are looking at doing a large project, and ...

rtacheny

I'm aware that there are products now available using Wave 2 chipsets; hAP AC2, cAP AC, RB4011. However, does anyone know if the MU-MIMO functions or beamforming are currently supported and functioning in routerOS? And what I'm even more interested in is in the devices that are only 2x2 MIMO, is the...

Any other bands than band 38 + 39? Which bands you need? The B38 can also support part of B41 and B39 can support part of B33 via Band mapping. Uldis, I imagine that it could be awhile for Mikrotik to make a decision on this, let alone the development, and additional time to see final equipment. Sh...

rtacheny

The Baseband unit can support all 3 bands 42/43/48 but the problem is to find the Filters/PAs for whole range so there is only for each band separately. So you can make product that supports only one of the band or the other band that overlaps with the main band. So we could make a B48 product and ...

rtacheny

B48 would be perfect. Although not everyone will be able to operate at 10W, the licensing does work in a way that you can be allowed to operate up to 10W, and I would recommend the product support this. From what I understand, TDD is all that will be allowed in B48 (but I'm unable to verify). What I...

rtacheny

You can't "use them". InterCell is a base station that can be ONLY used if you are a licensed mobile operator. And if you are, you need to buy the license for B38 anyway. For Germany only 3,5GHz was licensable for regional WISPs. This moves to 3,7-3,8 which renders our WiMAX Equipment use...

Does anyone know if Mikrotik has any plans to release a higher end version of this product? A lot of things look great, but unfortunately we have done several tests with Homeplug and found AV200 to be completely insufficient for our applications. Need minimum AV1000. Would like to see a second produ...

Nstreme-plus is almost the same Nstreme protocol but with some additional tweaks to get better compatibility with latest ARM based wireless chipset hardware that we started to release recently.

So no sync options or anything like that?

rtacheny

Are we going to get any kind of response onto what nstreme-plus is? Please? too secret to tell everyone! If this is correct: nstream is a wireless protocol mikrotik proprietary. (found using google) Then I guess that nstreme-plus is the same as nstreme with some more funtion. Googling nstreme is no...

rtacheny

Since price is determined by MOQ through vizmonet, would any other wisps be interested in combining efforts to see what kind of pricing we could get it down to if we worked together? We would probably purchase 100 units if we could get the pricing low enough.

rtacheny

I have no idea if that chipset will be compatible, but what I can guarantee you is that MU-MIMO and beamforming features will not be supported at this time. As far as I know, Mikrotik has not yet developed support for these features.

rtacheny

I have also received replies from Vizmonet. They claim that the cards are compatible with routerOS. I would expect compatibility to be similar to Metal 9s with XR9s. It works, but their are some combination quirks that don't always link up. It's been awhile since I have tested, but I believe I have ...

rtacheny

Posted in another thread, figured I would copy paste. The issue isn't with Mikrotik's programming capabilities. Unfortunately they are choosing to be tight lipped as to why this feature is absent. Qualcomm realized how important this feature was and started limiting it's support in their chipsets to...

We are using Rohn 25g towers and already have them at 140-145'. Unfortunately, it's not just a few trees. In a lot of cases the trees extend on to other properties and will cover over a quarter mile. Also, we are located in the poorest county in the state, not a lot of folks are capable of re-roofin...

I am very much aware of how dirty 900mhz is. We focus on 5ghz, 2.4, and soon (beginning of September) Fiber. However, we still have about 100 customers on 900mhz that we are unable to reach using these methods, that it could take many many years before we will be able to reach through fiber (only re...

rtacheny

I have always had terrible luck with ubiquiti's M900 equipment. I have seen Metal 9s outperform these.

rtacheny

Nice find. Been looking for something like this. Curious if anyone has found anything else, or has any experience with these cards. I wonder if anyone from mikrotik could comment on this. (obviously it would be unsupported by your team, just simply if it's feasible).

rtacheny

Unfortunately, we still have a lot of customers in deeply wooded areas that have been stranded on 900MHz. Although we have made a push for more 5ghz on our network, and are making excellent ground in our plans to deploy fiber, we still have a large chunk of customers that are stranded in this spectr...

rtacheny

Not sure if version related, however we deployed x2 Metal 9s with 6.40 yesterday, both have rebooted multiple times randomly. They were to replace x2 411 XR9 sectors on a tower using AP sync to deal with interference between the two (old APs used 802.11 as NV2 would not work due to the interference).

rtacheny

Currently a large portion of our network is in heavily wooded areas that account for a large amount of our customers. Given that we have a need for NLOS, and with a low population density, it's difficult to justify the expense of NLOS LTE, or even cambium pmp 450i 900 equimpent. We have found that M...

You have to point the Dude client to a folder on the Windows PC. You have "/disk1" in there, this does not seem like a Windows path. You must use something like "C:\\" Thanks Normis, this clears it up. What I will have to do is inform other users that they must store their mikro...

Unfortunately, still nothing.

I am currently working on setting up a RB750Gr3 as a dude server and am having trouble setting up winbox as a tool. I have used the dude before, however this was already in there.

I found it, when operating in regulatory-domain you can look under the status tab. It will now display your transmit power in line with Channel.

rtacheny

Hello everyone, I have been setting my transmit power manually for quite some time, but want to start using the regulatory-domain settings instead. I just want to verify what the transmit power is actually being set to so that it can be logged and reported accurately in our coverage map and path ana...

Been having issues, not clear as to what version broke it, however I have confirmed the bug exists in 6.37.3, could have existed as early as 6.37 but I haven't taken the time to verify. It appears that the boards I am having issues with are running UBNT cards (seen for sure on SR71). I'm not sure, b...

Should we expect a new RB960 version of the Powerbox in the future?

Will the QCA9892 chip used in AC products finally see a working spectrum analyzer?

rtacheny

I was wondering if anyone had some input on ideal hardware for testing BB2, BB5, Netmetal5 and other radios for mikrotik? I'm aware I need Attenuator's, however I'm not sure how much to cut the gain, and with what kind of impedance. Does anyone have any advice they can offer me? The goal here is to ...

rtacheny

Just wondering if anyone else would like to see a new 2.4 product with more processing power/ram and better receive sensitivity than the basebox 2 packaged in a nice Netmetal box. The Basebox 2's receive sensitivity is -73 @ MCS 7, where other 2.4 products such as the QRT and R11e are @ -75 and -76.

I'm not super versed in networking and realized after running wireless setup-repeater that this doesn't allow for a device connected on the ethernet to connect to the internet.

Naturally, I just wanted to check as I know some other POEs actually can show multiple status for diagnostics. I will let my technicians know that the light is just a simple LED, and blinking is not indicat...

rtacheny

Not 100% sure, but on RBGPOE I think it only signals that is receiving DC power when on, shutting off the LED otherwise, never saw any blink, let alone change color (doesn't look like a RGB LED either) Just verified with my tech that reported a blue light, miscommunication. It was on the actual rou...

rtacheny

Does anyone know if there is anywhere that lists what different LED indicators on Mikrotik POEs stand for? Example, flashing LED, Red LED, or anything else. Obviously they are never good and indicate a problem, but it would be nice if I knew what different statuses they could show, and what each one...

RB6.37 RC with wireless package, still no spectral history. Will probably join others in abandoning MikroTik. This feature is a necessity.

rtacheny

No, it is a legitimate thread. We use QRTs for quite a few client devices for the 17dbi antenna, as we prefer the complete product over 911s or baseboxes with external antennas attached. We have been resorting to the latter, but it's been getting extremely frustrating that the date keeps being pushe...

rtacheny

Does anyone else think it would be nice to have an extra one of these? In the mean time I think I'm going to always have an extra dish on hand just so I can use the case holder in the event of a radio needing to be replaced. Much easier to send the radio already screwed to the case holder and ready ...

rtacheny

Did some more searching, found a couple of antennas with unique polarizations. Still haven't found any dishes, and that is really what's needed. We currently use ARC Wireless ARC-DA5830SD1ARC eXsite 30dBi DP 4.94-5875GHz Dish for our long range PtPs. I would really like to find an equivalent that su...

rtacheny

I have searched the forums. I have found plenty of topics about 3x3 mimo, but nothing regarding antennas with 3 unique polarizations in triple chain. Also I have not found any discussion of parabolic dishes with triple chain.

rtacheny

I have been wanting to do 3x3 MiMo for some of our backhauls for quite some time, but have yet to come across a proper antenna for this. Everything I find seems to put the antennas in the same polarizations. I see no reason that 3x3 can't be accomplished through a parabolic dish, other than having t...

Hello everybody! Just got my first Dyna Dishes in, excited to start deploying them! However, one concern I have is there is no obvious ground/earth. Does Mikrotik expect the bolts to discharge through the painted bracket? Or should I be attaching a ground wire to the bolts on the radio? Will this ev...

If I disable/enable it produces the same effect that kicking the device out of the AP registration does, after it reconnects everything is hunky-dory.

Issue: Client radio’s connection “stalls”. Description: Client radio will not transmit data, only displays one side of tx/rx signal in wireless registration on AP. Versions affected: I believe I have witnessed this on radios as early as 6.11, and as late as 6.18, however, is very common on 6.12 and ...

It's been awhile since I have posted in this thread but I figured I would post my results here. Note that the average noise floor is around -100dBm or lower where I am at.

It appears this question has been asked many times in these forums, but the answers are all very vague. What I have gathered about periodic calibration is 4 things, they may or may not be true. 1. It will help in environments with atmospheric/temperature changes. 2. It will use up air time for a few...

All of this has been helpful so that I can mull over different things in my mind. Today we finally got to sector that access point, and I'm already seeing the bandwidth graphs double. However, the more I play around with rts/cts values at 802.11 sites, the more I don't like it. It seems that enablin...

I do tweak the Tx Power to get them at least above fifty, I could try and tweak the numbers more to what you say. However, the -30's and -40's you speak of are Rx signals, so unless I can get them with a smaller radio/antenna (which I can't), how do I deal with that? Also, you said the -70's and -8...

It can very difficult to trace what item(s) is causing the issues when you use that variation of CPE's, I would have Mikrotik only CPE's and use NV2 which eliminates hidden nodes, Latency on NV2 - no complaints from customers using this protocol. This is our ultimate goal. Unfortunately the company...

Personally I try to hit around -60 for all signal levels (my rule-of-thumb limits are -55 to -69). Those you have that are in the -30's and -40's are way too hot - you need to dampen them down a bit. Those that are in the -70's and -80's might be too weak and are spoiling the party for everyone. Tr...

What is your furthest client from the AP? It could be a mixture of things. Such as tx/rx rates, and some thing on auto etc. Could also be due to multiple vendors connecting to the same AP. Thanks for the reply! I suspect multiple vendors to be the main cause myself, but am trying to explore a more ...

Hello all! I work for an ISP in the states, and one of our towers has been giving us massive issues.
