Re: Accessing an hAP ac2 [SOLVED]

do not use ether1, that is the WAN port by default, it does not have DHCP server and is blocked by the firewall for incoming connections)

Accessing an hAP ac2 [SOLVED]

I've been contentedly using an RB750Gr2 for a couple of years, and so decided to buy an hAP ac2 when my Netgear WNDR3700 (in AP mode) died. All of the devices on my network are on 192.168.1/24, so, because the hAP ac2 is on 192.168.88.1, I set the RB750's routing destination to 192.168.0.0/16. $ sud...

Re: Gigabit fiber

Looking at the specs of both routers, your question answers itself: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750r2 https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3 The r2 only has 100Mbit Ports, while the Gr3 has 1G Ports. Even if the r2 CPU could pull off that Gigabit, you'd still have to go for the Gr3 for the Gigabi...

Re: FW rule to block port 22, but still can ssh in

Your default input drop rule has a setting of tcp-flags=""

This is probably the problem. Remove any reference to tcp-flags and it should then catch anything not specifically allowed before that.
The current rule set works.

Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros

qubic you have dns cache service already built in into RouterOS. (IP > DNS, tick Allow remote requests)

Unless you have a very large network that needs to cope with more than 100 requests per second no need for a separate cache.
But dnsmasq can also be a name server for devices in the LAN.
