Re: 8km link with LHG 5 connected to mANTBOX 19s

Didn't know that so I tried between 5500 and 5600 but I got same if not worse results probably due to neighbour interference. Best frequency found for throughput is at 5220; about 90mbps station->ap and 5-15mbps ap->station. I'm still experimenting on this though and hopefully I'll get back with bet...

Re: getting IP of DSL interface

Yes probably this is it. You could try inserting a delay of a few seconds before getting the address of the -just came up- ppp interface. Not sure why you want to use the loop though or why are you not putting this script on a scheduler to run every few minutes. That is how I'm doing it along with a...

Re: 8km link with LHG 5 connected to mANTBOX 19s

Thanks for the response :)
So what's the throughput you're getting transmit/receive on this?

Edit: just saw the mbps you wrote at the end. I'm guessing I do have a problem.. I suppose I should check the LHG 5 end first.

Re: Croudy Wi-Fi

Short answer : not doable. Long answer : While some manufacturers claim 100 clients per radio (or even 500) and let's say you could do with 5-10 of some probably expensive access points you would still have to route all those clients to separate AP's and manage bandwidth so they could have a decent ...

Re: Update remote database with new DHCP lease

interesting! how did I think about that?

But what about extra vars? device hostname? lease time? ip address?
System logging reports server name, bound/unbound and mac address.

A simple option it is, though not very flexible afaik

Re: Update remote database with new DHCP lease

hello, pity I just saw this!
I'm currently working on something like that, I'm using PHP and MySQL to hold all client leases with the MAC address as a unique ID.

What is your progress?

Re: hotspot-like functionality on dhcp lease

I'm now thinking this whole idea differently, so:
is it possible to enable hotspot for a specific client device only?

PS: it would be nice if there's a documentation on what "enable hotspot" does in detail,
i.e the commands sent to the RouterOS

Re: hotspot-like functionality on dhcp lease

Yes I'm aware of the shared user set in hidden form attributes, I've been using that for a while. Though as I said, we want to minimize the user's awareness of a captive network. We don't want to disrupt their experience, a CNA notification is fine for that matter. Maybe I'm missing something, but i...

Re: redirect client to our website without hotspot

thnx boen_robot, though we want to avoid hotspot, for the reasons I described above to rephrase: is there a way to redirect ports 80,443 to a specific URL? /ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat \ protocol=tcp \ dst-port=80,443 \ src-mac-address=00:1E:C2:B2:54:69 \ action=dst-nat \ to-addresses=87.43.32....

yes I had that set from the start.
Maybe I missed something else, I'll take a look at it again when I have time.

Re: Script dhcp2dns

hi, I've been playing with this for a while, and I cannot get it to work,
The line
:if ([/ip dhcp-server network find address ~ [:tostr $leaseNetwork]] = $network) do={

Re: Trigger Script when Client registers on Network

Ok then, great!
Just a note, if no checks are needed, you only need one line as boen_robot suggests in http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=89444
/tool fetch url=("http://youserver.com/api\?mac=" . $leaseActMAC)

There is a similar -but with different functionality- idea in another thread: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=89444 Probably not what we want because the dchp lease script is not triggered every time a client is connected, for example if the MAC address of the client exists at the...

Re: Trigger Script when Client registers on Network

I'm working on something similar, basically to get notified when a certain host connects. The "lease script" which is called when a dhcp-server lease is given, seems like the way to go about this. Though RouterOS 5.x does not have the "lease script" feature, but 6.x does. So in o...
