Configure it this way: /ip address add address=x.x.x.31/32 network=x.x.x.30 interface=ether1 (say) and manually add static route /ip route add gateway=x.x.x.30

Re: Poor Bandwidth over RouterBoard WLAN

Try setting channel to 20MHz Ceee and protocol=802.11. Also check no other wireless devices are using 5180 Ceee.

Ensure your wireless security profile does not use TKIP. Just AES is best and wpa2-psk only.

Re: v6.33.5 [current] is released!

I also just tried a /system packages upgrade upgrade on an SXT on 6.25 running the wireless package. The device could not be upgraded until I manually upgraded and applied the wireless-fp package which negates the auto-upgrade feature. I would suggest it should automatically change to wireless-fp or...

Re: Winbox 3 RC

3) After multiple requests, we decided to use default admin without password if router is selected from Neighbours list. If that should not be used, then router must be saved in Managed tab. While in some cases this makes sense we used to achieve that same result (default to admin with no password)...

Is it possible for ISP to access my MikroTik?

the default configuration of the RB951 has a firewall on the public (ISP) interface, so nobody can connect to your router from the ISP side, only from your LAN home network I agree but if you need a pppoe interface the default rules need to be changed to reflect this new wan interface. We are seein...

Static NAT from external seems to hijack VPN traffic on same port

Add your wan address as the dst-address (not the to-address) of you Nat rule. Specifying just the incoming interface will catch IPSec traffic as well as Internet traffic.

Re: Issues with OSPF

I would try setting the Network-Type =Broadcast on all interfaces rather than Point to Point.

With Network-Type=Point to Point no router is elected as designated router under OSPF. This is good on a wireless segment of an OSPF network but perhaps not so good in your situation ?
