Re: Verizon UML 295 support

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I've had no luck getting RouterOS version 6.38rc7 to recognize my Pantech UML295 USB modem as an LTE interface device. According the RouterOS release notes, starting with version 6.37 this USB modem is supposed to be officially supported. Here's the relevant exc...

Re: Router reboots

I had similar behavior with a brand new hAP ac lite (RB952) I recently installed. The problem turned out to be a faulty 3rd party voltage regulator in a power adapter I was using. Try a different / known good power supply with sufficient current output and see if the rebooting disappears. Best regar...

Re: Frequent Watchdog Reboots

FOLLOWUP - I've figured out the root cause of the frequent reboot problem... No surprise but there's absolutely nothing wrong with my MikroTik RB952 hAP ac lite router! The problem turned out to be a faulty user-supplied 12v DC power cord. You see I thought I was using a simple pass-though cord to d...

Re: Dual WAN In - Dual LAN Out?

Also - Don't forget that having two WANs means you need two sets of filter rules. Well, in the newer releases you can use interface lists, with allows for one set... but that's in networking 102... we'll stick to 101 for now. Thanks Dave for your kind comments and helpful suggestions. Your comment ...

Re: Dual WAN In - Dual LAN Out?

Remove the wifi from the LAN bridge... Dave, As I try to wrap my head around this concept, I'd like to double check that my understanding is correct... 1. I DON'T necessary need to create a second bridge in RouterOS, because a bridge is used only to tie LAN ports together (if that's needed and/or d...

Dual WAN In - Dual LAN Out?

Hi all, I'm on my 3rd day of owning a RB952Ui-5ac2nD-US hAP ac lite. While I only know basic networking, through lots of searching and reading the Wiki and forum, I've figured out how to get the router setup with both a WAN source connected to ether 1 and a USB LTE cellular modem. I can switch betwe...

Re: Frequent Watchdog Reboots

My solution was a 12 to 24v step up power supply.
I happen to have one of those on hand for use with a printer requiring 24v DC. I'll also give it a try with the RB952 router.

Have a great day,

John

Re: Frequent Watchdog Reboots

Also, the unit should have come with a 24v 1.2A supply - I've found that the "ac" units have issues with 12v power. I have several hAP ac's that also reboot from the watchdog timeout if they aren't getting enough power. I think you nailed it Dave! I'm a full-time RV'er and had the router ...

Frequent Watchdog Reboots

Greetings all, I'm brand new to MikroTik products with a new RB952Ui-5ac2nD-US hAP ac lite I just bought. I'm running with a basic, almost stock, router setup using only the 5GHz WiFi (2.4GHz disabled) and a WAN source over ether1. I only have 1 to 3 wireless clients connected to the router. I'm usi...
