Hello

What is the best way to upgrade the bios in a routerboard?

I can see where to download the bios but not how to upgrade it.

The manual says you can download some remote ethernet loader thing but I can't find that.

Thanks

Equis

Yea, thats what I thought easy I have done that but it just hangs when its trying to get an IP address. Can is fine, I can winbox into it if it boots from nand I have the serial console open, don't think that would make a difference set to boot from ether and bootp (also tried dhcp) it wont get an I...

Equis

Hello

I am tring to use netinstall and also upgrade the bioson rb100

I set the rb to boot from ether but no matter how hard I try the board will not get an IP address.

Is there a trick to this?

Seems simple but did not work

Thanks

Equis

It would be something we would need..

Equis

Sweet Thanks!

Hello

Does anyone know this?

I thought it was 1w for 5.8 and 4w for 2.4
but I am getting told is also 4w for 5.8

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Sometimes when a link is working near max ospf will loose its routes for 30 seconds or so then back ok again

Is there a way to prevent this?

in routing-test is it best to set the neighbor's?

Thanks

Equis

Thanks

My reason for asking is I need a link to be able to get 20mbps on a rb532.

Just wondering what I'd need (lol I really should have just asked that)

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Does anyone know what signal is needed for speeds?

eg

-80 6mbps
-70 24mbps

etc

Thanks

Equis

The SR2 does have bigger ears tho

Ive seen Sr2 hold on at -92

Equis

Hello

Does anyone know where to get a traffic-flow server?

Preferably on that stores in Mysql?

I will google now and report back if I find one.

Equis

Hello

No, RouterA is one router away from gateway

I have 4 routerA's if you follow, 4 possible ways to get to internet.

I was hpoing to use teh strongest link not thw shortest

Equis

More learning

Equis

it has its default route to the one I don't want it to go to (the shortest one) RouterB is the one in question, its default is always set to RouterA (and I dont want that) So we have Internet - RouterA - RouterB - RouterC >> the long but better way to gateway.

Equis

I seen this too

Someone told me it was the cat5.

For a test can you not use POE but use header to see if it still snows?

If it fix it maybe STP will help?

Equis

Thanks

I also posted in the dude forum wondering teh diff between upgrade and force upgrade, did anyone know?

Thanks for the reply

Ive got almost 200 to do before they expire

Equis

That was the idea!

Equis

Hello

What is the Difference to Upgrade or Force Upgrade using dude to upgrade routerOS.

Thanks

Equis

This is sooooo going to get deleted

Equis

Hello

Where on Dude do you upload the file?

Thanks

Equis

eekkkk (price!)

I wonder why so expensive.

Equis

Hello

I have one station with 4 customers in the middle of nowhere

they have 2.4 with -85's

I was thinking of changing to 900mhz

What cards can I use?
I now use r52 or cm9

is 900mhz any good?

Thanks

Equis

Hello I just stick a sr2 and a cm9 in the same wrap the cm9 can hear cpe's no probs but the cpes are reporting about a 10db drop in what they can hear. (as if the base was turned down to 10db) Would lack of power do this? Its a very low usage site, I was thinking of switching to a rb110, would that ...

Equis

Try to learn something about physics, it is total nonsense. I study math and physics on university so I have some knowledge about this.

I am confused what you are saying?

Equis

Nice!

How come you set for 6Mbps? more stable you think?

Equis

Hello

Is there some card or module I can buy to turn an rb (or pc) in to a powerful adsl modem/router?

Thanks

Equis

Very Good (for a -75)

I normally upgrade my ios before I get that

Now I have 2.9.38 I will see how long I can get.

Is that a busy link? (how much data per month)?

Equis

Hello

Just a theory

What if you had a pcq rule based on src port alone and not src IP address?

Then have bursting set on that?

(talking out of thin air, perhaps someone could add to idea?)

Equis

Hello Many of us hang back before we upgrade incase of bug. I wanted to point out I find 2.9.38 very good with routing test. I use ospf but not rip or bgp I also use firewall & que alot I have passed over 1TB wirelessly now Wireless driver seems very good. I use mostly rb100, rb500 and the odd w...

Equis

If you look under package is it listed but greyed out (in winbox)?

Equis · I use Winbox 2.9.38 with routeing-test, it is there

I use Winbox 2.9.38 with routeing-test, it is there

Equis

I think restribute static is not teh same as default (in ospf anyway)

Have you got distribute default turn to always?

Equis

I got a dealer (who I get all my Mikrotik stuff off in US) looking into that board for me.

When Mikrotik get faster boards I will switch to them as I have very little trouble with them, just need something to get me out of a bind for now.

Equis

The simple answer is: no. You cannot "join" two lines together to get a single higher speed line.

Unless you have control of both ends

Equis

Hello,

Is one was AP to client direct.

I changed prsim card for an sr2 and the problem has gone..

Equis

This looks good

(Mod's Please dont delete this as it not a competing product (yet))

Equis

Thanks

Do that have hardware watchdog?

What speed have you seen via wireless?

The Rb500 will be 400mhz soon so that will be great.

Thanks

Equis

Hello

I am needing to create a duel-nstream link (or bonded) and need to get about 50+mbps through it.

Can anyone recomend hardware for this?
I assume it woul dneed to be a pc based system?

Thanks

Equis

Hello

When I ping one station I get packet gain not loss.

Can anyone tell me what causes packet gain? I never herd of it

Thanks

Equis

Contact Sales

You need to get 20 at a time for L3 (last I checked)

Equis

hungry man dinner

Equis

I have seen this many many times

When I seen it it is because of other 802.11 gear close by.

I have found MT seems to be affected by this alot.

Equis

I do l2lp with compression feature and then Eoip over the top of that.

Equis

FTP transfer of a compressed file about 20 - 25 mbps one way +/- (20mhz wide channel) 10 - 15 10mhz

Tweak by playing with nstreame, polling, framer policy etc

Equis

Set you max to 80% of your actual pipe size and see if it helps

Equis

Ha, just seen you post on the other forum - Thanks

Equis

Hello

Will any APC ups report to a rb532 the power has gone off or just one with smart or whatever its called

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Search function did not help.

Will the rb112 (or 153) be able to support the power needed for these 2 cards at once?

A chap on another forum said sr2 was no good in an rb112, is this correct?

Foe the rb153 will it support 3 cm9's ok? (or 2 cm9's and an Sr2)

Thanks

Equis

Wouldn't you need to use foward not input and output?

I'm not sure

Equis

100 -200ms something is wrong, should be <5-10ms

You can use bandwidth test and server, have a look in tools menu (in winbox)

What is you signal level?

Can you change channel?

I have 40km link with crappy LOS and get <5ms & <20ms under load.

Equis

hmmm.... I have information, that RouterBoard can handle only about 40 Mbit/s traffic.

That would be through the air....

Equis

Can you post your firewall settings?

It works for me

Equis

Just a quick one.

I also have a digital multimeter, would it be hard to explain what setting you use to measure? I understand they may be all different

Thanks

Equis

Hello Is there changes in v3 that might help with the join-timeout disconnect issue? Also, I while ago their was a big flame war about routerOS and small packets, will there be any change with this?

Equis

Thanks

Equis

Not exactly what you asked for but worth the read

http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=9734

Equis

about the cm9 vrs r52 thing.

I have seen r52 is very good in rb112 - rb532 but in wrap its a few db down.
Strange but true

Equis

dont get 1m to the antenna

get you signal strength to about -60 (not -45) and try again.

Real world speed rb112 with r52 10mbps (with 10mhz wide channel) I have

Also, I dont like 802.11g, I always get faster because of less interference on 10mhz wide

You can't beat cm9/r52 to cm9/r52

Equis

Yes, rb532

Thanks very much for those figures

so is .32 320 milliamp ?

Thats not much power at all

Would you happen to know sr5 running bandwidth test?

I didn't think you used ros for wireless, have you been converted?

Equis

Doess wpa encr get done on the CM9 not the RB?

Equis

Hello

at 12v does anyone know how many mw a rb252 would draw with one or 2 cm9/r52s installed?

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Would anyone know where to buy a gadget that cuts power at 9v (or so) to prevent damage to rb and batteries?

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Where is the setting to change clock speed?
Its it just the new boards that support this?

Why would you ever want to run at a slower speed? heat?

Thanks

Equis

It shows the correct amount for the individual que's but I cannot see the total (the bit I circled) anywhere.

I'm not worried at all about it, just find it funny

Equis

I think myself very skillful for being able to que this much data after 1 min of uptime

Only started happening after upgrade to .38

I think it's only cosmetic as it still works well
Pretty funny tho

Equis

on Athros, interference will show as low signal level

Equis

Perhaps the increases sensitivity in the atheros is working against you.

I have seen in high noise environment this can happen.

In high noise I use the 10mhz channels or an older prism card.

Equis

I guess this would depend on the speeds you wanted. If you could afford to, go to the rb500 series that way you will never look back. with the smaller CPU I'd think you could still get 20+ without nstreame or very high simultaneous transfers. however I am not talking from experience. I have found th...

Equis

Just a side note. I System with the CPU/Ram etc you have may be wasted on the Prism. I simple rb500 would be nice & neat and draw less power. You should be aiming for about 4Mbps MAX (no comp, nstreame yada) with your current setup. If it was me :-) Rb500 with an SR2, forget the amp that would g...

Equis

I am only about 300 feet away from the access point.....

It's not screaming at it is it?

Too much signal is worse than not enough (IMHO)

Get signal to -50 -60 and try.

Equis

I think RouteroS is very stable & fast, I do think there is some kind of interference that it can't cope to well from.

My Home is a classic, link is -69 it will drop, I can scan and see AP but will not connect.

I get this on about 5% of my clients.

Equis

I have no solution

but yes, i see this often.
Sometimes channel change helps, sometimes not

I'm sort of waiting for v3 to hope it gets fixed

Equis

i really think upgrade to latest.

I had same thing and fixed with upgrade (even tho change log is silent about wireless change)

It worked for me

Equis

Hello

No The pigtail is clear.
I always use default or lower setting (law)

Thanks

Equis

Hello

What does Set Adjacent do?

Thanks

I'm a mad fool and can't read.
Please ignore this post

Equis

Hello

On one of my busy links (Rb500 with 1 cm9 and a 5.8 26dbi grid) My cm9 just lost about 30di

I put another one in and 1 hour later same thing.

What could this be? Bad RB? Bad power?

Equis

I don't think wds (AP - AP) will work
AP- Station WDS will work (I think)

Id recommend using l2tp with eiop over the top (see manual)

Equis

(read-only: integer: 0..100) - Client Connection Quality - a value in percent that shows how effective the receive bandwidth is used regarding the theoretically maximum available bandwidth. Mostly it depends from an amount of retransmited wireless frames.

Equis

Hello

Is CCQ a good way to see for best channel? or better to look at signal levels?

What is good CCQ for reliable link?

Thanks

Equis

we used this kind of test in some of the MUMs - multiple nstreme2 links were combined to achieve more than 300Mbits

Equis

Thanks for the reply

Being I have a 100% MT network, do you think l2tp woul dbe better to use than WPA/WAP2 etc?

Equis

Hello

I need to set a vpn between 2 offices
I have test both these and the l2tp is 3 times faster for me.

What is teh difference between them?

Thanks

Equis

Whats is set for band? is it turbo?

Equis

Can you turn nstreame on and set framer policy and compression

I don't think wds works with nstream but eoip will

Equis

Hello

I have public IP on all my customers CPE and then nat to price IP on their PC

Some complain Nat does not work so well with p2p and I need to port foward.

Is there a way to auto port foward or something?

Thanks

Equis

Hello

I use pcq to share bandwidth and set p2p to low priority.

It works perfect if I set my max to 85% of my total pipe size

When I go higher it gets worst and worse.

Is there any way around this?

I hate to waste 15% of the pipe as I pay per Mb pipe.

I only have 2 Mb

Thanks

Equis

Hello

I am still scratching my head how to make wirless bursting work (not shaping but in wireless interface)

Has anyone played with this?

Equis

wireless cards do not rx/tx with enough power

Yup, About 15-20db down both ways.

Equis

I've blown a bucket load of cm9's
worst is on omni's, not really problem on backhauls

I;m going to run a small bit of copper wire up the omni and into the ground, see if that helps.

I find also this is very site dependent.

Equis

the one I am using "was" a wrap board with 2 cm9's on it 1 was 2.4 the other 5.8 about 3mbps 24/7 I got about 24 hours our of it. I just today changed it for a rb500 with only one card and left the old one with one card. I have not tried the rb with 2 cards under heavy load, I will try tha...

Equis

Cool, Thanks, I'll have a look

Equis

Hello

I was looking foward to my ne rb100's cause they are so small.
Then I found out they won't fit in a low profile rootenna because of the 2(or 3) dicky bit's on the top of the rb.

What's with that?

Whats CPE enclosures do you guys use?

Thanks

Equis

Have you lad's noticed rb's/wraps seem to get better uptime if only one minipci slot has a card in it?

I have but wondered if others have noticed.

Equis

Ha, here is that weekly question again!

I think it depends on what speeds you want and how busy clients are.

50 cpe's would be fine on a rb500 but not really high speeds

I have read nstream may add 1ms per client (worth it in the end)

Equis

Hello

I seem to be getting 1 out of 10-15 cm9/r52 deaf on arrival

Is that the normal rate?

Perhaps I am handling them wrong or something?

Thanks for any comments

Equis

I guess when one of us gets time, but a couple in a rb with close channels and speed test

Then to same with cm9

Equis

I have read (on this forum) that the r52 does indeed listen on 5/10mhz channels and cm9 ill only listen on 20mhz.

I cannot say for sure vut I have read it a few times.

It would be best if teh Manuafacture jump in and answer?

Equis

Can you use winbox to connect to the mac address?

I find winbox and mac address somtimes dont work if you have secure mode on and/or 2 network cards

I am sorry if I did not understand your question, dont give up, ask again

Equis

With that matchs I was doing all wildcards (I think)

What I dont understand was why is the traffic 2 hop's away in the wrong direction!

I have looked at route tables and see no way it could get there.

Equis

Hello

I have a fully routed network
On the firewall connection table on a radio 3 hops away I can see connection ertires for other hosts

But torch does not show them

Thanks

Equis

Thanks

Equis

Hello

Can/will the dude email notification if a host is down?

Thanks

Equis

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Routing

Adapt one of these, just mark the connection then the packect with a routing mark

Equis

easy

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Routing

just mark the packects for the ports you want not to be defaullt gateway
set default gateway to p2p and mark all other stuff

Equis

So DHCP is on eth1?

whats eth2 for?

can you just use 1 bridge for eth1 wlan1 and wlan2 and disbale eth2?

Perhaps go a step back
assign static to your laptop and make sure you can ping through the ros box on box wlans

Equis

Where is the DHCP server?

Can you not give IP to each interface, just to the bridge?

Equis

Nothing wrong with 2x SR cards. It is the max for a single RB. I have sites with 4 and 5 spread over multiple RB in the same enclosure and no problems.

Thanks neat, I have always found I suffered from disconnects/crap pings whenever I had more than one.

Equis

I wouldnt trust 2 SR2's in the same box (or even the same pole)

But I'm not sure if this is your problem

Also, I "think" to bridge wlan to ether you need wds.

Equis

Ahh well

I guess that had good reason.

I'm looking foward to v3 to see what new goodies the wireless driver will have.

I'm not really after more speed, just better with noise

Equis

Has anyone fiddlied with bursttime in the wireless settings?

what would be a good "us" to start with?

Equis

I prefer nstream but in some cases (interference) I can't use nstream so this would be great

Equis

I only seen references to it when doing a "print" on the device

Equis

Hello

In winbox where can I find teh fast-frames feature (reading about in manual)

Also, what is a good setting for burst time?

Thanks

Equis

That is a excellent wiki example!
Could it be modified for use with a proxy server?

Equis

can you create bridge1
add wlan1 to this bridge on wds page
add ether1 to bridge1
add ip address to bridge1

Equis

Start here

Equis

Hello

Since most wireless is half duplex, should I set my whole network to half duplex?

so
Ap1 wlan1 ------ Ap2 wlan1-ether1 ---- AP3 ether1 -wlan1

should I set half duplex between the ether so it matchs wireless?

Thanks

Equis

I doubt smarter, but perhaps more patient

http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/no_chat.html

Equis

I find routeros 99.9% come back up.

I put the watchdog on to be sure if something goes wrong but this will not always help.

1 time out of 100's it never came up and I had to reflash it (stood in front with my coat open)

Apart from that all very good.

Equis

Somethig is wrong

How much data you push?

I do 1TB per month on a small rb500 with qos and cpu 40-50%

Equis

Hello

I want to use Vrrp to make sure my Mail/Web/Dns servers are always availible to my customers, even during a ros reboot/upgrade/failure.

Using 2 rb500's with 2.9.31 would this be considered stable?

Equis

Compression (depending on what sort of traffic)
framer best fit seeems to work well for me

Equis

Has propritry extenstion match on both systems?

Equis

At least it works....

My whole setup run's via a linux box and counts data based on IP
I also have a nice gui for my customers.
All data is save to sqldb

If I could start over I would use radius.

Could you give me a hint about the plink thing?

Thanks

Equis

Hello

I have a database that has users data usage in it.

When user goes over 2 gig I want to limit speed to 64k

Can a use plink or something to connect to routeros & place or remove a simple que?

Thanks

Equis

Did you set Max limit or Limit at?

Make sure to set Max Limit

Equis

I can add my pile of cm9's to the list

Thanks for the tip on using the copper wire, I will try this.

Do the R52's suffer from this as much? I assume that would but it would be intresting to see.

Equis

Use Torch.

I find out teh providers IP and prioriteze to that IP (not port)

Equis

Yep

What I do is have p2p & ftp running at teh same time

Slow parent down untill p2p stops and ftp goes faster.

It's very hard to find a balence.

It's got to do with we cannot control what is requested and comes in. we can only slow it down on our side.

Equis

Interfrence
lack of power

Equis

I use and like very much

adds a couple more db and cuts interferance

throuhput drops tho

Equis

I use winbox

add interface
add networks of each router

so if ip address of router is 192.168.0.1 add network 192.168.0.0/24

Only add networks your router can directly see

Equis

Hello

You set a max for the parent (I use simple queues) of .85
the other dont matter

start low (.85) and work your way up.

to test, open a p2p program wait 5 mins, then do a ftp transfer, teh p2p should almost stop to wait

Equis

more power!
more power!

I'd love to see a 533mhz or 800-1000mhz board that support 3-4 SR2/SR5 cards. That would be the answer to all my needs!

Yep Yep me too

Except I dont know how 3-4 sr's would go all togeather, but 4 minipci (no daughter board) would be great

Equis

I have found for it to work you have to set your max to about 15% less than your real bandwidth.

I have 1m but need to set max at 800 - 850 to be affective.

Equis

Hello

When we do shapping we mark conection and then mark the packects.

Hmm, don't know how to do a poll...

Me & 4 of my staff would

Anyone else?

I should add I don't know if Mikrotik ever will come out but here's hoping if we have enough interest

Equis

1. You get better up times with only 1 minipci card in board 2. CM9s work better than Prisim when many cards on one tower 3. Prisim will handle outside interference better (seem sliek a contridiction of 2 but its true) 4. SR2's are ok but best when they are the only card on the tower. 5. RB500 with ...

(I'm a newbie too)

Equis

me neither really...

But I have seen how routeros can add ips to a firewall rule automaticly to prevent ddos attack.

Was thinking you could modify this

somehow.....

Have a look at Mikrotiks Routeros demo, they have awsome examples

Equis

Hello,

Being that Nstream is a Mikrotik Protocol, would it still be nessasary to run pptp or wpa on my wireless links?

Thanks

Equis

can you add them to a src list and bypass that list once added?

Equis

I am running in a lab environment, with dual feed horn, 29 db dishes, 50' apart.

Not pointing at each other I hope

If your mailserver is on the inside of your netwrl you will not need to portfoward port 110

I think you will need more power but I am no expert

Then add route to match that mark

Maybe that would work
