DONE!! I guess you could also add one more email when detect-internet goes to "WAN state". This would happen if you can ping google DNS 8.8.8.8, but not reach Mikrotik's servers (via UDP). The app says something like "Internet (Limited)" if in WAN state, while if "Internet ...

Amm0

No I think it's a totally reasonable approach. I use /interface/detect-internet in default config on detect-interface-list=WAN since Mikrotik's mobile app show the internet status on the app main screen... And correct, it's "safe" as long as as you do NOT set the "three bottom attribu...

I'm just glad in 7.18, MT finally allowing you just select/install packages like UM from /system/packages, without download/unzip/"copy to router" steps. This whole drag-drop or smb/scp/ftp/etc files was more work than needed, given it's a set of well-known list of packages...

Hmm. Can you also change tmpdir=usb1/pull in /container/config (settings), to remove that slash too?

If that does not work, you could try to the the "layer-dir" in container settings this specifies where the layers are stored:
/container config set layer-dir=usb1/layers

Try using root-dir=usb1/ha (without the leading /).

RouterOS file paths do not start with a /, and while some item (like /container/mount) will ignore a leading slash /... root-dir= is very picky.

If you're running 7.17rc, you need to enable the traffic generator in /system/device-mode (see 7.17 thread here, or docs).

Those do not support LTE or 5G in US.

AFAIK, it's an LTE antenna, and there is no Wi-Fi*. So if you want to make a PtP link OVER an LTE network, you can do that. But you cannot just use two SXT-LTE6 without some LTE network.

Also, on the failover. As configured now, it will only use the 2nd WAN if the cable to 1st WAN is unplugged/gateway is turned off. Since it's a static route, it will use that regardless if packets arrive anywhere. One easy improvement is to change your: /ip route add disabled=no dst-address=0.0.0.0/...

Although I agree I'm not sure what "net" means – that's not one in docs, google or forum.

But I do think folks would like review your config to double-check — as that the most definitive on what should happen. See:

Which is why we need at least some info on what script is running and how.

Otherwise we are all simply guessing.

It looks like a bug IMO, since there is no RouterOS service that run scripts that's called "net".... I just hope OP did attach the supout.rif for Mikroik.

Another approach is for Mikrotik to make miniPCIe (or M.2) with Zigbee/802.15.4/BT/etc support. They do this with LoRaWAN models, so then any existing model with expansion slots can be enabled for LoRa, either at the factory (like wAP-LR8) or by user.
