Always get print screen below. No operating system loaded

Tried gen 1 and gen 2 vm but no luck

Turned of secure boot for gen2

Any ideas?

Thanks Aidan

Hi, I`ve never removed the lower HT MCS values but I am considering removing MCS 0,1 and 2 for HT and corresponding additional spatial stream values (8,9,10 and 16,17,18) to encourage devices to roam to a more powerful AP rather than hang on to a lower powered AP. It may also aid in disconnecting th...

Hi All, We are looking at using wAP AC for upcoming projects in education/schools. At the speed testing/messing stage and we thought we would share speed results so far. What do you think? Slower than we expected. We have had in the past mikrotik to mikrotik speeds at 515Mbps. These results are no w...

Hi, Nice products with some welcome features. BUT without the basics 5ghz / dual band / ac THAT our customers want above what's being offered.

I downgraded from 6.30.2 back to 6.25 I wonder if you managed to make a supout.rif before downgrading.

After reading this thread, it seems like I will be waiting for ROS 6.30.1 before I consider upgrading any production router atleast! ;D But I really LOVE the new system of "MAIN/New Feature" Releases(6.30), and then the sub point "BUG FIX" releases(6.30.1)! This is a really grea...

Hi,

Netinstall wireless-cm2 on hex lite for testing. Default select of cm2 auto ticks system not routeros-mipsbe? Cannot change. This is my first netinstall on hex lite so maybe normal or change has occurred in 6.30?

Anybody have any info if this is normal (for hex) or new?

Hi, Two questions. One for users and One for Mikrotik For Users: I know it’s an early question considering just released but has anybody tried the wireless ac improvements?

I use 2 x ssid "Fast WiFi" for 2.4 and "Superfast WiFi" for 5 Ghz. Easy to understand and encourages users on to the 5 ghz which generally performs better.

Hi, It appears as though you are using same channel for both APs?. use separate for each through higher level interface config in CAPsMAN. turn of extension channels - not enough on 2.4 for 2 Aps - could cause interference.

This really bothers me. This should not be added in any 6.x releases. This is not a "small" new feature as it probably required serious changes to the firewall coding. Stuff like this needs to be fully tested before hitting the actual release chain. The 6.28 release broke a LOT of stuff, ...

Yep! in the real world and with TCP I will get nothing like it! Buts it's interesting and fun to have a mess about.

Hi

How longs a piece of string?

I use a 2011 with CAPsMAN forwarding (NAT, general firewall, 2 data paths/SSIDs/sec configs and queuing) for a similar setup.

Works well.

Please consider what your using the 2011 for as these decisions all impact on 2011 performance utilisation.

Yes one way to get kernel error is through freq scan. Bandwidth monitor is another.

The kernel crashes are often but irregular in timing.

sometimes 5mins between sometimes 30 mins.
