The max reliable distance between two Omnitiks is 1 km. According to Mikrotik Link Calculator. Look at the power field, you have set 26 mw, but omnitik gives you 26 dBm that is 398mw. Dang!

No, because the power supply is rated at a certain amps at 12 or 24 volts, not a certain amps at 3.3 volts. Watts = Volts x Amps Assume you have a power supply 12volts / 1.0 amps: So, 12 volts at max 1 amp would be max 12 watts available from the power supply 3.3 volts at 1.1 amp would only be 3.6 ...

On the Mikrotik download page, once you choose a system type, you can no longer download the "ALL" file. At that point, the link turns into a mipsbe link, which does not include netinstall. I think this further complicates the downloads for new customers.

So I assume that my RB just passed away.

Contact support or your reseller before you give up on it.

Just don't masq them at each endpoint Mikrotik. Wait until that last gateway router before you masq them. Then they keep their individual addresses until they go out that final interface to the Internet.

Your clients can each only get 1 IP address. Why would a Mac get 2 IP addresses?

Have you changed the keepalive timeouts? That is how often it looks for disconnected clients.

jandafields

Unable to ping, even with a static address? That has nothing to do with DHCP. DHCP is GIVING you a loopback address? That sounds unlikely. Do you actually have a DHCP Server on those additional AP's? It won't magically work across multiple interfaces, you have to setup DHCP server on each interface,...

You need to turn on pptp debug log in Mikrotik and then paste the log to the forum. It will give information on why the connection is dropping.

You can also turn on auto-supout so it will automatically create a supout file when it crashes, then send that to support@mikrotik.com

The router should never actually crash, something sounds very wrong.

No DHCPv6 :( Booooooooooooo So whats is the plan for DHCPv6 now ? And what happened to Betas ? Now we just get final releases ? Betas??? You mean the releases WAY BACK before RC1? v5 is no longer in beta. Or, are you talking about, for example, the pre-release of v5.8 that some of us are using?
