I am new to this forum and fairly new to mikrotik. I plug in 1 computer and it works fine. 2, 3, 4, 5, computers and they work fine. when i try to plugin more devices than 5 it doesnt give internet to the sixth device. even though the router is giving an address to each device i plug in and giving it a lease and saying ‘bound’ i still do not get any internet through anything plugged in after the 5th one is plugged in. I have a switch plugged in to my rb1100 and im plugging my devices into my switch. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I know it must be something simple but like i said I do not know mikrotik at all. thanks
Hello
you can explain to me about your configuration on your router
Are You sure all these addresses from dhcp pool are Yours? They are public addresses and typically not used for internal LANs. From configuration I guess Your public addressses are 12.175.41.48/29 which means 6 IP addresses in total, one for gateway and 5 addresses left for computers.
yes I set it up originally with the 5 addresses from our isp and the guy that works with me went in and changed it all and i really dont think he knows what hes doing lol. I really dont either im more of a computer mechanic lol. what could i use to give myself more addresses?
Use nat and hide other computers behind it. They will share one of those ips. Or ask your isp to connect other computers in the same way like the previous. He has a plenty of ips apparently yet…
