RB750GR2 upgrade from 7.13.1 did not apply using the android app or webmin. it did upgrade when rebooted via winbox but then one of my vlans was disabled.
it only need to be re-enabled but as it runs my IOT it was a bit of a pain

en1gm4

should there be a wifi menu on a device with no wifi hardware? (RB750GR2 updated from 7.12.1) I understand the need for wireless menu if using capsman but not the wifi menu. I assume I am now able to remove the wireless package if not using capsman? I have removed it to test and the wireless menu di...

Thanks DarkNate good advice about mikrotik AP's... I have two of those so will be careful. I'll also have to look at my one AP running openwrt in case it does anyhting similar one upside of conrolling the RA's this way on a per subnet basis seems to be that I can have different DNS servers advertise...

en1gm4

Yeah, it's enabled by default all right. I'd suggest reading the Edge/BNG guide, they have a small section on the IPv6 RA thing and the other IPv6 RA post. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=176358#p864371 https://blog.apnic.net/2023/11/30/why-is-ipv6-router-advertisement-default-enabled-by...

@pe1chl, apologies... I was imprecise... and thanks for the prompt reply The default ND config is indeed ALL (although in the case of my little router that has a sizeable overlap with the bridge) As you say, I moved it to just VLAN17 in my case and that works Is my understanding that the MT should/w...

en1gm4

I noticed during my efforts to set up IPv6 via a hurricane electric tunnel something that seems odd and possibly a bug but wanted to see if anyone else is seeing it and if it is perhaps expected behaviour before i report it and look like an idiot I have an RB750GR2 running 7.12.1 with an HE tunnel g...

en1gm4

just fyi. I found that having an ip address from my HE /64 prefix on the bridge would result in RA's sent even if the address was disabled.(i only disabled it while testing the /48 but as that is working i can remove the /64 now). This resulted in /64 addresses on my home lan but no route out as far...

en1gm4

Thanks again.
I'll start at 1480 on the tunnel and see how it goes.

I found a little online pmtu test (but can't find the link at the moment) . It seemed satisfied that pmtu (ICMP?) messages were getting through properly.
.. slowly understanding that this ipv6 thing seems pretty sensible!

en1gm4

@tdw did you happen to change your MTU? I have seen comments online about using 1280 and the tunnelbroker site says 1480
I have a routed fibre connection (without PPPoE) although who knows what goes on inside their network...

en1gm4

many thanks @tdw nice to see it is relatively straightforward. I'm looking forward to making the next ipv6 step (one day when my isp supports it I'll be ready ;) ) I've added the address to my interface but cannot add the type=argument on 7.12.1 it looks like blackhole is the only option now? https:...

en1gm4

I doubt know what worked and what didn't or why... But upgrading to 7.12.1 certainly got my setup working when it wasn't before with no other config changes.

en1gm4

Has anyone set up a /48 from hurricane electric (tunnelbroker) and delegated /64's to different interfaces/subnets/vlans? Now that I have ipv6 /64 working on a vlan I realised that to spearate my guest and iot I will need ipv6 subnets I've been looking around and there seems to be a lot of varying a...

en1gm4

interesting... updated to 7.12.1 and now no RAs going out until i have a device on the guest vlan and then they seem to be working ( (at least according to RADVD debug in the log))... I'm assuming that is the correct behaviour i am getting the right prefix on the guest/vlan and ipv6 tests are workin...

en1gm4

arrggh.. thanks for that. I thought I looked at release notes a while ago and missed that somehow!
firmware update time... again

en1gm4

just adding to the mystery... and the learning looks like Mikrotik is sending the RAs on the bridge despite it having no IPv6 address (that is on VLAN17) more confusingly the RAs are sent even if IPv6 is disabled in ipv6 settings i see that all interfaces seem to be getting Link Local addresses incl...

en1gm4

I spoke too soon. :roll: if i connect on the guest LAN via wifi on another AP (the MT HAP AC) i seem to get an ip address in the correct prefix but no routing. (tried android, chromeos and win11) a wired connection on vlan17 on the dell switch behaves the same.. (ipv4 works fine and ipv4 addresses a...

en1gm4

thanks... not sure why that was missing in the config... when i went back and looked on winbox/webfig the /64 was there so perhaps it was finger trouble pretty sure everything now has the correct length now i still don;t have connectivity though. I can ping ipv6 addresses including the other end of ...

en1gm4

Thanks @mkx I'll give it a shot (weekend project ;). In theory I should just be able to remove my ipv6 address assignment in the bridge and create one on the vlan interface. That allows me to keep the HE tunnel up and ipv6 running but only in the vlan I want. I can then add an SSID on that vlan if I...

Has anyone created a network with IV6 on only one vlan? just wondering how that might be done. I would like to have IPv6 on only one vlan at home and perhaps have the v6 network have it's own ssid so i can test it out without it being on the whole network for now. It seems like that ought to be poss...

@jimsander Thanks. That's great advice. You clearly are quicker at figuring out issues than I am.

I am intensely curious to learn your thoughts as to where their market falls. I'd like to hear that from MT themselves.

Just moving the Huawei away from .1 is not enough - you have to assign the .1 to the Mikrotik as well.

any clues on why this might happen? I've now open your pcap. The DHCP server is your Mikrotik at 192.168.16.254, and it indicates the same IP address of itself to the client as the default gateway.

thanks.
upon deeper inspection i found that someone (other than me

had inserted a firewall rule on the input chain to log everything... which seemingly caused these messages to show up each time the input chain saw a packet that it had no route for.
all better now... and I've learned a few things

thanks mrz interesting. we've stopped using dropbox in the office so there should not really be much left ? (although perhaps the odd device or two with personal stuff) even when we used to have more dropbox i don;t recall us getting these messages in the logs is there a general rule about what &quo...

apologies if this is really a newbie question but I'm not quite sure where to begin and am hoping someone might give me a clue or two our office router is load sharing 3 dsl lines to one lan and has been going a great job of it :) however, when I look at the logs I see a lot of entries that seem to ...

Can someone please tell me if compression works between a mikrotik running as an L2TP/Ipsec VPN server and a windows 10 user connecting using the built in client? If so, how can i see that this has been negotiated? What sort of compression is in use? (i.e is it just header compression or is there so...

perhaps not as important as some other bugs being posted, but i noticed that kid control in webfig seems to be broken after adding a schedule in winbox, the times in webfig are showing as incorrect. it looks as though it is showing the end times as the same as the start times (?) this is on an RB750...

Deleted. Wrong thread. Kid control bug in webfig is in current release (not checked RC yet)

upgraded one RB951G-2HnD in office (running as an AP only) and it went fine just upgraded another RB951G-2HnD at home (also an AP only) and it immediately went into a bootloop... beeping every 7 seconds or so. I was only upgrading the software and using winbox. power on reset does not help can not g...

Thanks again. For clarity, my understanding is that protocol 41 needs to pass to/from the router via IPv4 (output chain mangle taking to the right place and then presumably it is an established connection? Or might there be a need for an explicit rule allowing it on the input chain .. limited to the...

Thanks Sob, where should the rule to ensure the traffic to the other end of the ipv4 tunnel sit? output chain? forward? (i.e. since the logic of the 6in4 tunnel is in the router, presumably the tunnel is an "internal" process and you need to intercept it somewhere there) apologies for the ...

Hi Has anyone had any experience with a load balanced multi-wan setup (in our case 3 ADSL lines using PPPoE) and adding a tunnelbroker (hurricane electric) IPv6 6in4 tunnel into the mix? Hurricane provides good instructions and there are a number of locations online with information on basic config....

Has anyone got experience on hiring people online to write/edit/support a Mikrotik config? We have a single office router that needs to load share and prioritise traffic over three adsl links with the usual firewall protection and a couple of pinholes for SSH and VPN We have enough in house expertis...

for those following this I clearly missed something in my search as this topic has been covered here: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=124360 there is some suggestion that using the latest firmware and the E3372H on a powered hub might be a working solution might we worth an experiment (an...

en1gm4

understood... and many thanks

(i see that there is some difference between the E3372S and E3372H... but not sure if that actually helps or if MT works with both... I'm in no way wed to them; just saw there were lots on eBay

anyone else have any recommendations and experience to share?

en1gm4

thanks. the network would have up to 25 office users on it (not heavy ones individually but they add up) Is the issue with the E3372 itself or Mikrotik's side of things? I'll have a look at the Teltonika RUT950 as well... they are substantially more money (this is something of an experiment... and I...

does anyone have some experience on choosing USB 4G "dongles" that they would like to share? I'm looking for a USB modem to use as a backup to our 2 load shared DSL lines and it would be good to know what works well (on an RB951) (I was looking at the E3372 as it can have external antennas...

I as just looking at the WAP LTE kit which looks like it might be a good solution for our countryside office (in the UK) (it does, however seem to be impossible to get ... from the posts about problems I wonder if if has gone back to engineering for some fixes?) Ideally, I'd like to use the LTE radi...

WOW... many thanks for taking the time to write such a comprehensive explanation. I understand the challenges now. I'll go through it all and see how it translates to our own situation ... and how we might be able to simplify it in the short term to get something running (I was thinking about just k...

Many thanks for the feedback and apologies for the slow response. (I was not getting notifications of posts) Having experimented with Mikrotik software for a couple of hours it certainly seems very powerful and indeed complex. I'll definitely try one thing at a time per your advice @mducharme I'm su...

ok.. not much luck with that one

could anyone point me to the most relevant manual pages or examples of someone accomplishing something similar?

en1gm4

I wonder if anyone could help point me in the right direction to get started on a configuration? Our office is out in the countryside with relatively poor broadband (10Mbps down, 1Mbps up). As we work with a lot of data we need to run multiple DSL lines to get the bandwidth we need. We currently hav...
