Re: The ACT LED means...what?

Not sure what it means, but I had a solid ACT light when I accidentally held down the reset button too long on my RB260GS, or something else went awry, and the switch went back to its 2.0p factory firmware. It might appear bricked because that version doesn't support DHCP, it just defaults to 192.16...

Re: Quickset VPN - router access

No other changes beyond quickset. Trying to support someone in setting up their router themselves that I don't have access to.

I see, perhaps if I assign an LT2P Server Binding for the "vpn" user and add it to the LAN interface list it will work! Will try and report back.

Quickset VPN - router access

We enabled the quickset VPN feature. I can connect fine via L2TP / IPsec on a Mac. I can even route all traffic through my VPN and it works fine (public IP changes, sites are accessible, etc.). I can't however access the router on the 192.168.89.1 or 192.168.88.1 IP addresses. Is there some firewall...

Re: wAP AC (ARM revision): Bad flash chip?

is there a difference between netinstall and System -> Packages -> Upgrade in terms of how the firmware is physically flashed? It's not about physical difference, it's about a chance of eventual malware to survive. Netinstall rewrites everything on the disk; upgrade is under control of the old Rout...

Re: wAP AC (ARM revision): Bad flash chip?

After the netinstall, have you restored the configuration from a backup file or have you configured the device manually? If manually, I'm afraid it is indeed a hardware issue. It was manual, after netinstall, via System -> Reset Configuration and choosing "CAP" mode for the reset device. ...

wAP AC (ARM revision): Bad flash chip?

I have a new(ish) wAP AC (the ARM revision) that is behaving oddly. It seems to not save all the config changes I make, and other changes get corrupted (most recently, for example, the DHCP client somehow got associated with an unknown interface, even though this is a simple CAP device and I'd done ...

Re: v7.1beta5 [development] is released!

This is an old wAP. Does 132k Sector Writes Since Reboot in 26 days (see below) seem high to anyone else? This router is barely doing anything - maintaining an internet connection, a few wireless clients (2-3), and a single Wireguard tunnel. Logs aren't set up to go to flash or anything. My main cap...

Re: Failed to join CAPsMAN (CAP lost connection, send timeout)

The solution was simply to revoke the existing certificate. The CAPsMan then just issued a new certificate for the Caps and everything went smooth from then on. This was a lifesaver. I could not figure out why this wAP was not getting a certificate, and it turned out that it must have already had o...

This has started happening almost daily now despite no material change in switch usage. I'm a home user with 1-2 people on the network at any given point, so not exactly a stressful application.

Re: Simple policy routing question

Hello and thanks very much for the reply! I would first disable all the policy routing and set for a while the backup route as primary (or shut down the primary's WAN interface, whatever) to see whether the issue persists or not. If it does, it is most likely some MTU issue on the secondary WAN's ro...

Simple policy routing question

Hi, We have two WAN connections. One is used as primary internet and one has a lower priority route that's used as a backup internet connection (not load balanced). We'd like the ability to send traffic from certain LAN IPs through the backup internet connection at all times, even when the primary i...

maybe you have interference on the 2.4ghz band, interference can cause that behavior

It is router. And it has wifi interfaces and license higher than level 3 so yes, it is possible with no doubts.

Re: HAP AC

Like any other mikrotik you can set one radio in bridge with lan port and one in router mode. No big deal.
The same for the ethernet ports I assume? So both radios will bridge with LAN but one ethernet port will serve as WAN? Like a standard SOHO "wireless router"..
