MikroTik

Hello everyone, @Normis, the application is still not available in France on IOS, searching for it gives no results, and using the direct link says « this application is not available in your country ». I don’t think it’s wished. Regards, It does find it for me, if you search for MikroTik, but it's...

":convert to=hex" doesn't work with number types. I'd expect either a string with "7F" or "007F" back from below..., instead the number arg is treated as string and ASCII codes are used:

put the value in quotes
convert “lala” from=raw to=hex

Good idea, thanks

Yes, of course you can do that. The interfaces will not accidentaly connect to the wrong band, they can't "see" it

Plenty of MikroTik devices are still running that we sold in 2008.

LHG is for situations where you have no signal. Like Amm0 said, if an indoor device is giving good results, it means LHG is not a good choice for your location. You need to compare to something like Chateau 5G. Different types of devices, LHG is not for place with extremely good signal, it's purpose...

There is another option. RouterOS has API. You can build your own. Start with stuff you need.

Like above poster answered, all Flash chips have some bad blocks from the factory, it is natural. The only thing you need to monitor, if the number is not increasing every day, only then you can start to worry.

Production has resumed for nearly all devices, so soon your local distributors will be getting plenty of stock again. For example LHG LTE models are arriving in around 4 weeks I think. Better ask your local distributors directly, they know when their orders are arriving. And make sure they order the...

not to your home. FROM your home. that's the idea

Phone ------> [CHR server] <------- Home behind NAT

It's an informative message and does not mean something is wrong, like explained above

Back To Home is here, Android and iPhone apps make it easier than winbox:
viewtopic.php?t=198231

Gigabyte, FToms is pointing out that your LOGS show this. So please check what is really happening.

When using the standard Wireguard Iphone App I am able to connect.At the moment I can not find the Mikrotik BTH Iphone app in the app store (I'm living in the Netherlands)

did you try the direct link? https://apps.apple.com/lv/app/mikrotik- ... 6450679198

You can already make a Wireguard connection to your CHR from the home router, and then make a Wireguard VPN from your phone to the same CHR. This way you can achieve the same result without custom "relay".

Exactly. If you can run a relay, you basically don't need a relay.

While in Beta, we have a relay in the MikroTik data center in Latvia. Depending on demand, we will expand to other regions and will lauch relays in other countries. If somebody here works in a well connected data center with high speed connectivity, you are welcome to drop us an email

You are missing the PPP profile your config refers to.

Yes that's true. Currently there are no limits. It might change in the future, but there is no plan for that at the moment.
If we run into traffic problems, we will just add more relays around the world.

Apple iPhone version released (but some updates coming soon): https://apps.apple.com/lv/app/mikrotik- ... 6450679198

There is no discount for licenses, sorry. Just do the same as with one license.

Of course you can just keep using Wireguard. This new feature is also using Wireguard, but it has one advantage, it can work even if your router has no public IP

What would be the use case, sorry I don't get it

Answers to common questions: 1) It uses Wireguard and is a secure VPN 2) (If used) Relay does not decrypt your tunnel and has no access to your data 3) It secures your router with firewall, it does not open up full access to your router in any way 4) It is not a feature for anonymity, it is a home u...

DNS should be your home ISP DNS or any public DNS like 1.1.1.1

BTH provides easy VPN to your router, even if you are behind NAT. Main use - take the phone app and enable the new feature, then connect to your home network, while abroad or anywhere. In the background it takes care of all the configuration in the router, makes a Wireguard setup, configures the fir...

Forumā lūdzu visus sazināties angļu valodā, jo tā ir valoda, ko saprot lielākā daļa foruma biedru. Liels paldies visiem

Nice, thanks!

as you wish, both will work
either router, the ISP of the router, or any public DNS

You should set the DNS when you configure it. Next versions will handle this better and will not even ask for it.

In our country the ISP does not allow to change SFP module, they only allow their own devices. So what we do is just enable some bridge mode in the ISP router and then connect the MikroTik router to theirs.

1. Create account on mikrotik.com
2. Provide login details in CHR inside RouterOS license menu
3. Request trial license from CHR
4. Check your account, it will show the Trial CHR systems
5. You can pay then in the account

If now Winbox has *) added support for QR code field , what about button or command to generate QR code for Wi-Fi login from configuration? Yes, it gives possibility to make something like that for the future. Do you really need it in the Winbox? Will you show Winbox to your family, when they come ...

ATL is the best outdoor LTE we have right now, it has a nice modem. If signal is okay, it's the one to get.
If signal is really poor, LHG might be better choice (so, for longer distances even)

What good will speedtest do, if you don't know the line of sight and load of tower? It's around 75Mbit at best

The box has all cables on the bottom now, will post updated pics

https://blog.mikrotik.com/security/cve-2023-30799.html

In short - very low risk issue.

See above, re-download for the fix

Great video, one suggestion, put cable glands on box, or at least some silicone :D Also you made one hell of the lightning rod Did not watch video till the end. I'm so sad now.

New phrasing, in case this will be more clear:

Built in upgrade will not work! This is because new Winbox has new exe signature. It will say "upgrade file corrupt". So download new winbox manually here: https://mt.lv/winbox64.

Why is it important?

The only changes:

1. New EXE signature (no effect for users)
2. QR code support

Quick Tip: Now you can use Back To Home feature with regular Wireguard app in your phone or other device. Once BTH has been set up, in your "IP -> Cloud" menu you will be able to scan a QR code from any device with a stock Wireguard app, to quickly configure the tunnel there.

You have to decide, what is the user paying for. Only for internet access? In this case, he can do whatever he likes. He paid for it. 1. Make rules. If user breaks rules, impose fines 2. Say that the payment is for a certain speed. Then you can Put speed limit per user. They will not be happy to sha...

1) Container feature needs a powerful CPU and plenty of RAM.
2) ARM64 is a natural requirement to resolve these requirements
3) All new products have ARM family chips, so this is our direction going forward
4) It takes a lot of human resources to support other architectures for CPU hungry features.

You can already use CF Zero Trust tunnel via Container.
Anav is just trolling. It will not be "built into" RouterOS.

We fixed the specification pages, tx powers at different rates are now included https://mikrotik.com/product/l009uigs_2 ... ifications

You simply need two devices.

MikroTik

Please read above posts. The issue is fixed. Stop repeating old reports you "heard somewhere". Just try yourself.

original poster says hAP ac3 can't be replaced by hAP ax3 because it lacks SFP port. But hAP ac3 did not have SFP port

Is this ChatGPT post?

See if the mikrotik device reports any errors. Maybe you did not insert the SIM correctly. Sometimes putting a layer of scotch tape on the other side of SIM helps it to fit better.

If error is "sim not detected", it means it's not fitted, not blocked.

Just use ASCII latin characters. Why is that an issue? Translit is a thing.

there is no need to enable anything. if your device is new, not used by somebody else, just download the mobile app for setup, or winbox tool https://mt.lv/winbox64

We have now widened supported device list, ARM/ARM64/TILE are now supported in 7.11beta6. Please test

We have now widened supported device list, ARM/ARM64/TILE are now supported in 7.11beta6. Please test

Winbox QR code broken, known issue. Next Winbox release fixes it.

usx, issue is known and is in our bug tracker. will get fixed

yes, regardless of model. no package needed.

What did you do, before this happened?

Email support@mikrotik.com with device serial number and supout.rif file

Forum can't help with this, you need support department

We have tried. We have an actual testing department. It works great

Don't believe anonymous people on the internet, believe the people who actually test it.

Do you have any bug reports to show? Time passes, bugs get fixed. Try 7.10.2 - works nicely.

Will do, but be warned, nearly all devices come with v7 now.

Unless you have specific critical issues that you have reported directly to MikroTik, please do not spread misinformation about software stability.

Devices can't be downgraded below factory version. Apparently new revision has some chip changes that can only work with v7 kernel. So there is nothing you can do to run v6.

which, we don't deem as production ready

v7 is out for what, 4 years? My suggestion is to re-evaluate your requirements. v7 is very stable

try different frequencies, start with lowest one, then highest one, see if it makes any difference.
try to set 2GHz-onlyN

Socket will not work for a moment, but you will be able to rule out that protocol is the issue

DarkNate, I know you had some conflicts with our volunteer moderators. Maybe you have not noticed, but we changed moderators recently, a lot of new and nice people.

I have no beef with you, so I have no reason to delete you. Only I can.

Start by posting more information. What errors? Never downgrade. Upgrade to newer version, both mentioned versions are old. Plenty of fixes for CCR2004 in v7.10

You can't set those settings. They are not needed in new wireless chips.

To clarify, you changed devices and want "similar settings" on the new model?

Device case has RP-SMA female connector. Antenna is RP-RMA male

No, we plan to run our own relays. No self hosting.

What does GPS have to do with this device?

#BOT?

What does GPS have to do with this device?

I edited my post, because I noticed your need 802.3af. Yes, you need stronger adapter then

why not ask here in the forum, section General? just make a new topic. your question is answered in the product page: It also supports passive PoE input and passive or 802.3af/at PoE output.

If you had 1-2 Mbit and now your have 10x more speed, what is your complaint really? You expect to have a 100 times increase in speed? This will not happen.

@normis What are the chances that the relay server could be self-hosted, i.e. for service providers? For example, I have a lot of customers with hAP's behind CGNAT. If I could host a relay on a CHR or CCR2116, their app/device could be configured to use that relay, which then forwards their tunnels...

If your router is behind NAT (no public IP), the connection is going through our Relay server in Latvia (for now our servers are only in one country). This is why the speed is different.

Nice feature, app downloaded, will try with my ax3 today. EDIT: This is for phones only ? Do you plan to release app for windows/macos/linux ? app is just to make one click config and one click connection. But like Antons said, you can also use regular Wireguard app in any device. Just more config ...

anyway I don't have a phone

limits the testing pool

Some winbox cache thing. Try to clear caches and make sure Winbox is up to date. Main config should be done via App when in the LAN, not remotely

1) it should work on AX2, try the Android app.
2) no relation to zerotier. this is a wireguard tunnel

Yes, we want to see load on our relay service. So people with AX devices, please test, and see what speeds you get

Only during BETA period it is limited to 802.11ax devices with wifiwave2 package.
We will expand supported device list after 7.11 release

(briefly tested the creation, did not test the tunnel since that AX3 is behind another router, so it will not work that way).

actually it will, because if router is behind NAT, connection will be going through our relay service, securely

Here is the first documentation about our new Back to Home VPN service: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Back+To+Home

ARM device needed. Provides easy VPN to your router, even if behind NAT. Android app is being published today, iPhone app coming this or next week.

this is normal for most GPS units. remember this is not a phone, it does not have any precision assist features.

I don't know anything about NMEA GPS coordinate format. I use decimal degrees only.

This is the last time I'm saying this. There is no rule that forbids quoting the above post. If you harass people about it, ban for you

(my mistake, this is NMEA)

The only people not adhering to common sense netiquette are right here in this topic. Most others just ask their questions and post their configs.

Znevna, what kind of rules you have in mind?

Who will read it?

yes, we do that from time to time.
we can't delete fairly new users, as they might be real people who read forum

MAC address does not change if the SSID is the same. Only for each new unknown AP the iPhone generates a new random MAC address.

All RBxxx devices are using the old convention, where the series is 5
L0009 is a newer model, like C52 etc. the series is L

Everything is covered in the document. RTFM more carefully

do not use the wiki, it is an archive (it says so on the page, btw). here is the new manual:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... uct+Naming

also we made a video about naming: https://youtu.be/AILuuE4mJKg

L stands for nothing, it is a "Series", just like RB and S, C, D, M etc.

Reminder, that just recently devices did not have a default password at all. Having a known default password in a note somewhere is still much better than blank

Is anyone here interested in volunteering to approve and disapprove new member posts? Let me know, and let's fight the AI/LLM spam together

This fix was made after the release was made. Check your timings please

It's intentional. Dark and mysterious.

Hopefully it was not dropped hard, and maybe some antenna broke inside 8-O

We are working on a Discord server. If anyone wants to help, or maybe just look around and participate, while away from the forum

Forum stays, no worries.

yes, prosilver that is available right now in user preferences, is the default

Canvas has not been updated in many years and does not support latest PHPBB versions, it is causing issues in the forum

Now please suggest some MODERN looking alternative to Canvas, for those that do not like ProSilver

7.8 and 7.9 is no different in this regard. We have reason to believe this issue is simply appearing in very rare and specific cases. Sometimes it goes 2-3 weeks without a problem and then starts. It is most likely just that. It comes out so rarely, that we can't yet find any single cause or relatio...

What software are you using to connect?
Try https://mt.lv/winbox64

It was only announced as available soon. MikroTik always announces products ahead of time.

I agree with above what onnoossendrijver said. Why need to have a printer constantly at 1G? Printers will never have the need for such speed anyway, and it's apparently doing this to save power. Let it do it's thing.

Just use this file, copy into the router and reboot it with the reboot command:
https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/ ... .1-ppc.npk

Yes, it's stable.

Better not delete it. In the future somebody else could be facing the same issue.

SUP-116195 is not fixed by itself, it is actually not even clear what to fix. So don't expect any changelog entries, if there is no update in the ticket. P.S: several wireless reports are not even about the same issue. So don't panic with this "me too" unless you are sure what the report i...

We can only fix things that are reported to support. Above mentioned SUP ticket mentions that issue was gone by itself. If you also have a WiFi issue, rather than post here, make a detailed report, including what devices were connected, what happened, when. Then email to support@mikrotik

In ticket SUP-115948 you report you have no more problems.
So by that logic, 7.10 also has no problems. Because they contain same fixes. 7.10 contains even more.

What bug do you mean? 7.10rc has all the same fixes as 7.9 and more

This whole topic is like dog chasing his own tail

On one side you have admin, who wants to block youtube
On other side you have people who want to avoid government control

You can't have both

What device is making those spectral scans? So what happens if you turn off the device during the scan? Also, isn't this just the router working at the set frequency?

PLEASE Mikrotik staff that reads this thread ... reconsider the inline comments on the webfig and also the 'centering of everything', as it wastes A LOT of space on the new layout (please see my previous comment showing editing scripts at https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=196061#p1002223 )...

Check what packages you have installed. What is the current version in that router?

You are right, we made the channel, but it was too close to release. Bot not yet ready

Update, fixes released in ALL channels. Please upgrade.

Reverted back to old skin now

Proper testing before pushing a major change to all users? nah, why bother.

you must be new here

Canvas is back. Seems that issues were not resolved with default skin

yes, will clarify on the post

Unfortunately, we have found, that the "Canvas" skin that was used here for many years, was causing the PHP issues. It is no longer maintained by the author. Until we can find a new / maintained skin, we have defaulted to the standard PHPBB skin. If it is very bad, make suggestions to wha...

THIS RELEASE CONTAINS ONLY ONE THING
IT IS IN THE CHANGELOG

7.9.1 released
blog: https://blog.mikrotik.com/security/cve-2023-32154.html

Post might be updated over time: https://blog.mikrotik.com/security/cve-2023-32154.html

We will be releasing fix in all version trees, including long-term. First to be released is most likely 7.9.1 today. Rest will follow tomorrow (as full tests need to be done with each version)

It is possible the event organizer confused MikroTik with some other company or maybe a local reseller, this is why the info never reached us. MikroTik is based in Latvia (EU), we do not attend such events so far away.

Sorry but this is also false, MikroTik was not directly involved in this event or prize.
Edit: that is about the PwnToronto event.

They sent a screenshot of an email, but it is not clear wheather it was actually sent out, or if they did not get "mail delivery failure" in return. Things happen, internet outages happen. It would have been nice, if they would ask "hey, did you get this", when nobody responded. ...

I use that particular cable myself. It is high quality from what I can tell and it serves me well. You can probably get the same identical cable for 15EUR from Amazon, up to you

MikroTik received first communication about this a few days ago, despite what the "researchers" say. Blog and fix will follow today. Our mailserver logs have nothing pertaining to this mater up to May 10, 2023. At this date our support team member asked for more info, received a PoC ZIP fi...

Each app can have notifications enabled in the SYSTEM settings. How are you guys able to use the forum, but unaware of how smartphones work?

it was a mistake to begin with, I don't think it's worth investigating, why mistake happened only partially

Android malfunctioned. iPhone users did not get it.
Or you have notifications off for the mikrotik app

RouterOS 7.10beta7, 7.9.1, 6.49.8 coming soon

Yes, it is certainly not normal to have it on. Somebody coud have it on by mistake, or in very specific scenarios.

ONLY affected if:

ipv6/settings/ set accept-router-advertisemnets=yes

or

ipv6/settings/set forward=no accept-router-advertisemnets=yes-if-forwarding-disabled

Mistake by us. Sorry about that.

Yes, notice will be posted there too. Suggestion to prepare for upgrading ROS soon if you use Ipv6

Blog entry following soon, together with RouterOS upgrade in all channels. Upgrade needed if using IPv6 advertisement settings.

Looks like you guys have not used social media before.
So, little help for you. Forum is not competing with social media. Social media is for short announcements by the company. It is not a place for discussions. Chill out

Mistake by our team. Nothing to worry about. Please ignore

No conspiracy.

License upgrade will allow ap-bridge mode and multiple clients, but the antenna has a narrow beamwidth. It's not really meant for that.

yep, noticed it. Admins are working on it. There is a possibility the custom skin is causing issues.

yes, firmware and operating system are not related.
also, there are no security holes in firmware. there is no reason to upgrade it all the time.

check for updates menu is the one you need to use

Sorry and what is the issue?

post actual script and actual error message

So let me understand something. You are complaining about IPv6 speed, but you don't actually know how fast RouterOS v7 IPv6 is?

I am talking about performance. Your complaint is that it is slow. Still no exact test or comparison with those other routers

You still did not write any exact test results. This is all just "I want this feature, I don't know why"

How is this even relevant to this topic?

Give specific numbers, how much IPv6 are you routing throug the TPLINK gaming router (which costs 3 times more than L009 by the way). Let's compare then

This is the situation if you need more than 5 ports

Compact, flat laying case. More Ethernet ports than other models (not counting switches). Wireless not very important, maybe only for IoT. Very cheap compared to other fully featured routers with as many ports.

Here is the relevant link:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... chitecture

Not all features exist on all architectures. hAP Lite is a very basic home device, it lacks the needed resources.

People did not "used to" buy RB2011. They buy it today. A lot. L009 is similar, but better. At the same price.

Can you clarify, what kind of setup are you planning?
Where will it be connected? Is the other device also controlled by you?

The device only supports DC jack power.
For tough to place locations, I suggest DC cable extender like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000958018795.html

Perfection

unfortunately, I can't help. No idea which bad object caused the issue for OP

We have always had the latest PHPBB version. Which later release you mean?

Poll is useless, because we will not be switching to another engine

But thanks for the discussion.
Anyway, this upgrade will just mean a new operating system, more modern PHP version and such. Forum engine will be same. Maybe it will be faster.

Yes, we are in Latvia, where you get either 1Gbit fiber or 5G with over 100Mbit basically anywhere except the forests. We often forget, that not all of the world is the same. This is why when we look at top sellers, there are mostly 100Mbit devices and low cost devices. This forum is for professiona...

Yeah, it seems each post must wait like 15 seconds, until it notifies all of the people in the thread. Maybe I'll turn it off then.

Invision is much worse than PHPBB, believe me.
And suggestion to use Wordpress to power a board this size

people, stop joking

I mean the phpBB default notification menu and the little bell that warns you if you are quoted, mentioned with @, etc etc.

I did not know this is off. Turned on

What do you mean about notifications?

Matta, the error you are seing is most likely fixed in newest v7.10 beta. Try to upgrade and let us know if it helps.

You are right, v7 and v6 tests can't be compared. We will update hEX and a few others. L009 is certainly not slower.
