I’m working of our first all MikroTik network deployment and went with a CCR1016-12S-1S+ software v6.44.2 for the router
I’m having trouble with gaining access to the internet from the LAN connected devices
The Router is connected to the ISP and can ping 8.8.8.8
LAN devices are receiving IP from the DHCP and DNS servers
They can ping the DHCP and Gateway
But the can not ping the internet like 8.8.8.8 as there response is request time out
I have tied the normal stuff like restarting the router and restarting the PCs
What suggestions might you have and what more information might be needed to help track down this issue?
One thing is to run traceroute from clients towards some internet host to see if last hop alive is truly your RB. Other thing is to run /tool traceroute to verify the same from the router itself.
If router itself shows successful traceroute but clients don’t, then the problem is most probably in firewall rules - either router’s or on clients (but then if you have many clients with different OSes, such as windows, OS-X, android, linux, and all behave the same, this is highly unlikely). If router itself is not successful, then the problem is most probably in routing settings on RB or in ISP (or, less likely, in firewall rules … but not related to problems of clients as traceroute from router uses chain=output/input while clients use chain=forward).
