We have a customer who is complaining constantly about their WiFi We've tried everything - including installing a second MT router and setting up CAPsMAN Here's an extract from the log The signal is strong - so that's not it (and CAPsMAN is handing off correctly between the two AP's when the signal ...

We operate a network with ~150 customers connected directly to fibre using Mikrotik HAP AC routers each with 1Gbps SFP modules. Although there were some initial challenges with WiFi performance these were mostly stable / resolved until we started to upgrade the firmware on some of the routers,. or r...

can't wait to get rid of the Netgear, Cisco switches :D We have a stack of Netgear switches - each with 24 SFP ports. 4 switches so 96 ports but this continues to grow Netgear provide a stacking kit so you can manage the stack as a single device but the same is possible using any of the ports on th...

We've used a number of options to improve coverage in large buildings. 1. Power line - it's OK as a starting point but performance is variable and can get expensive quickly if you go for faster speeds and multiple nodes 2. Mesh WiFi - works well. Several vendors available - TP-Link DECO M5 set of 3 ...

@Bivvy: when datapath is configured to use capsman's bridge, this usually becomes a srrious bottleneck. If you don't have a good reason not to, set datapath to local-firwarding=yes ... and the rest of appropriate settings. Thanks @mkx I'll turn on local-forwarding. Any other tweaks I should consider?

Ok, so I was wrong and it was unfair to say "MIMO doesn't work", etc, etc... MIMO works! I've made couple of IRL tests (not iperf) - so far, even 3x3:3 makes sense. And note that AC68 is not in the best position - bandwith rate is around 877-1300mbps, jumping around due to close distance ...

We are experiencing the same problem. We operate a network with ~150 customers directly on full fibre connections. For the client CPE we are using Mikrotik HAP AC. Speed tests with a computer directly connected to the HAP AC give results between 250 and 350Mbps download and >400Mbps upload depending...

Hi guys - your posts have been a great help getting to grips with CAPS. One question though - why the use of the slave channels? Isn't it simpler to set define the allowed frequencies in /caps-man configuration eg /caps-man configuration add channel=2g channel.frequency=2412,2437,2462 comment=\ &quo...

I guess I will monitor more closely and get some WireShark captures. What I find most odd about this is the fact that I never saw this at all until a month or two ago. Now, I see it multiple times a day and it's all with communication between my Mikrotik AP and Mikrotik CPE. Hi Arcee Did you ever s...

Hi I'm trying to create a new skin which allows limited access for our customers so they can: Make basic changes to the WiFi SSID's and password etc Activate WPS (we are using HAP AC's which don't have a WPS button) Change the local IP address and DHCP settings Have access to the Kid Control feature...

Agree - the need to manually UnAck is a significant problem. Either need
- Ack to be cleared automatically when service comes back up again or
- A way to tell which devices are still Ack'd.

Any ideas why an "unknown" interface has suddenly appeared in the Interface List on (some of) our client routers? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AVzPKMpLaiyBz-2zjmHRT-vpuR8d_IjX ROS is currently 6.40.4 (Not upgraded to 6.42.7 as we had a problem with a previous upgrade which meant we ha...

OK - sorted now. Just need to take more time reading the manual. The full URL needs to be converted to hex so http://10.10.25.6:7457 becomes 68 74 74 70 3a 2f 2f 31 30 2e 31 30 2e 32 35 2e 36 3a 37 35 34 37 That's 22 bytes and for Option 43 it's Code 1, so I needed to add the hex for "1" (...

Hi dougunder Can you share the "tweaking" you've used to improve the WiFi performance. Would be great if you can export the configuration from a working router and post it here We're still not convinced it's as good as it should be even using an older firmware image Thanks It never worked ...

Anyone know the first version of the firmware that suffered the poor WiFi problems? We have >130 clients using HAP ac's and recently started getting complaints about poor speeds. Bandwidth tests from the router and from PC's plugged straight into the router are all fine - it's just the WiFi that is ...

Did you ever get this working? We have a number of clients sitting behind a Cloud Core Router which is our route out to the internet.

Thanks for the responses - I'll speak to the customer and then look to turn off some of the lower data rates. I should have been a bit clearer in my question - I was particularly concerned about the difference in Rx/Tx rates - see lies 2,3 and 4. So why is the Tx rate really good but the Rx rate onl...

I think we are seeing a similar problem - but it only just appears to have started. We have a Cloud Core Router (CCR) set up as a DHCP server. When we connect a new client, it assigned a dynamic IP address from a small pool - 10.10.20.30 to 10.10.20.50 We then manually go into the DHCP lease table, ...
