Is there a way to set ether1 as DHCP from a internet provider and them set ether2 to a static IP? I have a Starlink unit which provides a DHCP address and cannot be set to static, but have an internal network with static IPs. I want to be able to access the internet via the static IP and not need to worry if the DHCP address changes. thx
Certainly. Set ETH1 as a DHCP client, and if you will not be using DHCP at all on your local LAN, you can delete (or disable) the router’s DHCP server.
Are you using the MAP as a router or switch with access point? Just installing my first Starlink system. Dish is in place but I’m planning to put a Mikrotik router in, connected via the optional ethernet adaptor. Effectively using the Starlink as an upstream modem. I need to play with Starlink admin console more to see if one can disable the Wi-Fi on the Starlink router.
Also, won’t the MAP throttle your network? The Starlink I’ve just installed is getting 250Mbps down. The MAP is fast ethernet only so will be 100Mbps wired but probably only 60-70Mbps on Wi-Fi 4? Might be perfectly fine for you as 100Mbps isn’t exactly slow.
I will predominately be using it for uploading data, as we are using it to collect and transit from a remote location, so download speeds are ok to be throttled.
Have connected to the Starlink directly and can get internet via the default mAP IP address, just need to set up as a static IP on ether2 so that we can tunnel through.
Hi.
You cannot do it. If you need a static public IP you have to get it from your ISP.
If it’s not possible and you have to “get there” externally, you need something like Zerotier or a computer with software like TeamViewer connected to LAN on the other side.
Couldn’t dynamic DNS be used so that at least the CNAME value updates automatically? Seem to recall RouterOS only works with it’s own DDNS service unless you script something?
But generally Remote Desktop access to internal machines isn’t ideal - bit risky. I use RemotePC as it’s cheap and works well.
I didn’t use ddns in Mikrotik so I can’t answer that. Now I have red about Mikrotik cloud which is working fine from routerOS 6.43 so probably it’s a great start for you.
Generally in my opinion everything could be risky in your scenario - remote desktop, zerotier and every other software and “ideas” where your connection will go throught 3 party “servers” and you cannot really tell how it really behave. Sometimes it is what it is.
As I said, I don’t have experience (and knowledge) about Mikrotik Cloud. Maybe someone can type few words about it?
Zerotier can not be used on map.
But wireguard can. Already do so since ROS7 came out.
Outgoing to pivot point works always.
Inbound can as well using ddns ( e.g. IP Cloud) provided ports can be forwarded.
Once the tunnel is made, you can do what you want.
