Hello everyone! Today I just joined the Mikrotik Family with my “new” (actually open-boxed) Mikrotik Chateau LTE 12 and I’m already having some issues with it… I’ve always been able to configure the modems I had, I knew that RouterOS had a lot of settings to tweak but when I opened the web page for the first time I was like “Ok, so what do I have to do now?”.
To get at least the connection working, I followed a guide on YouTube that had the following tweaks (+ other safe changes I made to Wi-Fi and stuff like that):
/interface lte
set [ find ] band=1,3,7,20,8,2,38,40 mac-address=AC:FF:FF:00:00:00 mtu=1500
name=lte1
/interface bridge
add fast-forward=no name=bridge-lan
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
add authentication-types=wpa-psk,wpa2-psk eap-methods=“” management-protection=
allowed mode=dynamic-keys name=wifi-password-profile supplicant-identity=“”
wpa-pre-shared-key=12341234 wpa2-pre-shared-key=12341234
/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] band=2ghz-b/g/n country=latvia disabled=no
frequency-mode=regulatory-domain mode=ap-bridge security-profile=
wifi-password-profile ssid=wifi-name-here wireless-protocol=802.11
/ip hotspot profile
set [ find default=yes ] html-directory=flash/hotspot
/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool0 ranges=10.10.10.2-10.10.10.62
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool0 disabled=no interface=bridge-lan name=dhcp1
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge-lan interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge-lan interface=ether1
/ip address
add address=10.10.10.1/26 interface=bridge-lan network=10.10.10.0
/ip dhcp-server network
add address=10.10.10.0/26 dns-server=1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1 gateway=10.10.10.1
/ip firewall nat
lte1 not ready
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=lte1 src-address=10.10.10.0/26
/ip service
set telnet disabled=yes
set ftp disabled=yes
set www disabled=yes
set ssh disabled=yes
set api disabled=yes
set winbox address=10.10.10.0/26
set api-ssl disabled=yes
/system identity
set name=Change-my-name!!!
Result? Well, nothing or close to nothing I’d say. The modem receives correctly an IPv4 address and apparently it’s connected to my ISP antenna (B1+B3) since I can see all the signal stats. The only interesting thing I noticed in the logs is the fact that, when the connection with my ISP is established, the DNS will always be 0 (in the DHCP server I put 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1).
So…
- APN is correct
- The modem shows stats (it should be connected then)
- Firewall rules (NAT section) should be ok
- DNS have been set manually
- All the devices connected get their IP addresses
Since I bought it as “opne-boxed” there’s always the possibility that the item is damaged, but I’m 99% sure that it’s just me being completely ignorant.
Could you please help me? Thanks in advance
