Hello, (after searching forum- sorry if covered already)
i have Hex working well, and am trying to add LTE Failover. Connecting LtAP mini i can see the LTE but can not manage in capsman, or missing routing over to working hex?? LTE is running.
LTE Failover… ? What other you have WAN?
Failover is setup in IP>Routes, not in capsman
Hello Sib,
i do not believe i have any other infrastructure on the wan except user devices. i removed the cAPsMan. It is now set to LTE AP.
MTik-Hex(750G r3)—> MTik switch---->new Ltap Mini US kit.
As of now i have hEX routes giving IP 192.168.88.8- over to LtAP mini. LtAP has IP, and gives out DHCP of 192.168.8.0/24. The LTE route is not “R” running. [i see you have already given options to fix, i’m working on those] and NAT out-interface masquerade of LTE. I have no other setups in LtAP.
Thank you for your help.
I understand you have that setup, like this:
LtAP WAN: lte1 who should be connected as Running and APN settigns should have “Add Defauld Route”. At NAT of course SNAT/Masquarade.
LtAP LAN: can be setup the dhcp-client but “Add Defauld Route”=no bcs the internet should be grab from lte1 interface
… cable switches poe etc…
Hex WAN=LAN: all ports are connected into one bridge with one big dhcp-server. You should make static IP to LtAP LAN IP and setup for you and all your dhcp clients that LtAP LAN IP is a default gateway.
That way it’s will be works.
Normal situation is like this:
LtAP wan: grab internet from lte1
LtAP lan: have dhcp-server with e.g. 192.168.88.0/24 and give this his internet to anyone who connect to him
… switch with vlan-wan to separate wan from lan … poe, cables. etc… …
hex wan: just receive internet from ltap as regular dhcp-client at dedicate wan port and do regular job at all other ports like ether2-5+wifi etc. to home devices…
I hope that idea schema will give you some clue about how to works.
Alright, thanks. Here is the current LtAP setup.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LTE is now running. I had to downgrade from 7.0vb to 6.47v60 for the LTE to "R" run. i was able to let cAPsMan run the single wifi, as i setup the LTE side.
LTE has no interface,
That part is to correction. This give us information that you try not standard / default configuration and you do a mix of few stuff.
You should reconfigure it.
DHCP server share pool with other IP address then dhcp-network.
You do a dhcp-client at cable and wifi by bridge.
You do a dhcp-relay.
You do a capsman at that bridge.
ReThink what and why you do that. Read again my prev. post.

Start use ENTER key to separate one sentence from other.
Then LTE is running or not ? ReWrite that sentence.
LTE is Running. Sorry. i am trying to setup the DHCP client and server. LTE interface does not come up. I have tried making VLAN’s or bridging to use LTE as dhcp server. Any bridging I change LTE with kills LTE. No longer running. This is the basic setup now.
Thanks,
Next screenshot after export not do any think.
I thinks I repeat that part with comments:
LtAP WAN:
/ip address add address=10.10.11.0/24 interface=lte1 network=10.10.11.0
This is ERROR, why you add that IP address at lte1 interface ? This should be receive from ISP automatical. Even if you have Public IP then you must receive it automatical, not just put it here.
LtAP LAN:
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether-LAN2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
Wlan1 and ether1 create you your LAN.
/ip dhcp-client add add-default-route=no disabled=no interface=bridge1
You grab network settings for LtAP and wifi clients from main router.
/ip pool add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=10.10.11.0/30
/ip dhcp-relay add dhcp-server=192.168.88.1 disabled=no interface=wlan1 name=relay1
/ip dhcp-server network add address=192.168.6.0/24 gateway=192.168.6.1
Why you have a dhcp-server when he not should be used!
Why you use dhcp-relay when you bridge before two interface ?
That part is wrong.
And.
I write you two scenario - you not write any think about them, just give me export.
I write you comments to export - you give me a screenshot.
I don’t have idea how to speak with you.

Yes, i was trying to understand the set up you were recommending. I am novice.
LtAP WAN:
/ip address add address=10.10.11.0/24 interface=lte1 network=10.10.11.0
This is ERROR, why you add that IP address at lte1 interface ? This should be receive from ISP automatical. Even if you have Public IP then you must receive it automatical, not just put it here.
I changed this, there is no address now, only the ISP
LtAP LAN:
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether-LAN2
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
Wlan1 and ether1 create you your LAN.
This explained what i was doing wrong. I was attempting to set up 2 working mikrotik routers. It was a guess only.
/ip dhcp-client add add-default-route=no disabled=no interface=bridge1
You grab network settings for LtAP and wifi clients from main router.
This also allowed me to stop over thinking LTE AP, not mikrotik router. Just AP
/ip pool add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=10.10.11.0/30
/ip dhcp-relay add dhcp-server=192.168.88.1 disabled=no interface=wlan1 name=relay1
/ip dhcp-server network add address=192.168.6.0/24 gateway=192.168.6.1

Removed all, and it now works. Thank you.
And.

Because i was attempting to understand your configuration and build another router. That was my mistake.
Only AP.
I write you comments to export - you give me a screenshot.
An attempt to clarify what i was seeing and attempting

> Again, your help has fixed my issue. The LTE AP is now working on a failover. I can not say thank you enough. You cleared up my mix up.
It is working well now. Thank you for your help.
MikroTik ROS try do re-connect all time.
If your lte module support commands like “at+reset” then you can trigger reconnection.
Power off the USB power feature works longest.
Disable and Enable lte1 interface is a universal way.
I hope that helps.
It helps. Thank you for educating me on this!! 
I may be back with other questions.
