Re: Simple wireless roaming

Not knowing of 802.11r until yesterday, I have tried co-channel, same SSID & different channel SSID. Both attempts resulted in VoIP disconnect when moving from one AP coverage to another. My test mobile device is a Pixel-XL on undated and current firmware and Android OS, part of ProjectFi. If th...

Hairpin when ISP is down

I have a fine hairpin working thanks in large part to the great Mikrotik help pages. Using a pocket device having cellular data, and 4 internal wifi APs that are configured for roaming, one need not change anything to talk using a VoIP client when walking out of local WIFI coverage. But when our WIS...

Re: v6.41 [current] What I did

I have the same experience. After the upgrade, no connection via ethernet or wifi works. Wifi is off. Winbox cannot show it. I asked another RB on the LAN which properly upgraded to show its neighbours, and the dead RB is listed with a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. The dead device is up in the ...

Re: winbox for ubuntu

Hey! It is working under WINE!! My low capacity backup laptop could be a cause of previous WINBOX failure. Last night it was flawless. I have not rebooted since... in hope I can continue to use it. All I can say is it seems to be good as of last night. Thank you Mikrotik.

Re: winbox for ubuntu

+1 Winbox is not working correctly in my uptodate Windows10 home, and really sucks in Wine Ubuntu. If I did this all the time, I would learn command line but I am not a WISP provider. Not yet. Though I now have a lot of Microtik systems around here... so my vote per routerboard should be more than 7...

Re: Wireless client roaming

As far as I can tell, Mikrotik does not get it. A moving terminal, lets call it a mobile, and multiple fixed stations must use what we radio people call "diversity". Diversity could be as simple as switching fixed stations in accord as to which one has the strongest signal. I believe the m...

Re: 5 GHz 360+ km Wi-Fi link via tropospheric ducting propagation

This sounds like fun. How about a free log in standard in 'TikOS for messaging when we get Mikrotik DX? Look for 100 KM or more distance by return signal time? Maybe we should set up a Facebook DX with Mikrotik page. Can we have a certificate for WAC, (Worked All Countries)? Transpacific should come...

Re: Metal 2 shpn Problem in WIFI

Hi WoZer. You said, "they do need us to test every possible scenario and let them know if it works...". True. But once we identify a repeatable problem, we should offer or support should ask for a copy of our backup files so that they can test to see if it is repeatable, and if it is to le...

Hello WoZeR and others. It Works! The Metal has now been up more than 7 days without failure. The very marginal 1.1 km very not line of sight link goes from my barn to my friends home .. a friend who has late stage cancer, little mobile phone coverage... so I wanted to deliver some sort of connectiv...

PPPoE with Hot Spot

Hello. I have a MT OS 6.18 RC running Hot Spot. I am trying to put a more remote client on PPPoE via a 2nd MT AP with a CPE TP-Link logging in. It does. An end client gets DNS just fine. When I bring up the end client computer with a browser, the HTTP request gets into the internet. The answer is no...

Re: Metal 2 shpn Problem in WIFI

I am flagging this Maybe Mikrotik has fixed it in the RouterOS v6.18rc4 built yesterday at 13h58, on top of firmware 3.17. It has been running almost 22 hours, PPPoE and Hotspot with attached users with no problems. I ran a bandwidth at test to my Groove for about an hour @ 162/145 mb/s, with no pro...

Re: Metal 2 shpn Problem in WIFI

Hummm... Power back off to maximum 30 dBm max did not cure this problem. Today, I had 4 outages. This is greatly more often than before. As of today I added to the set up a PPoE server... so the OS has even more to do. That may explain all the outages. Just before a reboot it did make a SPROUT file ...

Hello Support. I am an old hand radio guy. I have done radio for more than 50 years. When I first looked at the 2SHPn I thought it would have a cooling problem. I should be able to help you do some design modifications to help keep the internal devices cooler. Yes, I am sure this thing would melt in...
