Ookay will test it out but that is kind of backwards why can i just put static ip address but not any other parameters like gateway, dns etc. As i understand the gui has no such option and there is no option to log into the terminal as well?
Seems like a lack of functionality on mikrotiks part on the swOS.
This is why i don’t like SwOS at all…no logs, no ssh…but it’s very cheap

Also question on a another subject. What is the real world link speed of SXT-LTE? My ISP is offering me an “unlimited” speed package but i can only get 30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up speed. I want to understand if that is the limit of the SXT-LTE device (speedtest conducted from SXT-LTE itself against mikrotik bandwidth test server) or my ISP is screwing me over.
https://mikrotik.com/product/RBSXTLTE3-7
The SXT LTE (product code RBSXTLTE3-7) is a special variant of our popular SXT device, and doesn’t include a 802.11 wireless device. Instead, it has a built in high quality LTE Category 3 modem for speeds of up to 100Mbit/s downlink and 50 Mbit/s uplink.
You should check LTE signal quality under Interfaces > LTE > CellularTAB, if signal good than your location is just overcrowded. This is normal for some places in Estonia f.e Viimsi or Pirita.
As @dimitris wrote, achievable LTE speed highly depends on load of your serving LTE cell. I suggest you to test speeds during different times of day to see if there’s a difference. I guess it depends on particular network, but in network of my former employee (largest MNO in my country) we would see usage low in early morning hours (around 4h in the morning) and usage high during evening (say between 18h and 23h). And the overall load difference between the two extrema was factor of 20 or so. Surely this varies between cell towers quite much (make sure your neighbours are fast asleep when you’re trying to break speed record 
).
The LTE issue has been fixed. Contacted the ISP and problem was communication. I was described a unlimited package but that unlimited only meant data not transfer speeds. So the speed cap is from ISP side. Had it upgraded to 50/20 because they don’t offer 100/100, it’s only 50/20 or unlimited which costs like 50 euros a month. The price is too much taking into account that i could theoretically get only 100/100 speeds.
Next weekend i’ll be back on that location and i will check on the signal qualitys from the AP’s to the devices. Also i will try to set the switches to “DHCP with fallback IP address” mode and from the DHCP server try to assign a static ip for the switches as well. Will see if that fixes that upgrade issue.
Actually SXT-LTE is limited to 150/50, so using this gadget you’d ideally be able to get 100/50. Then it depends how much you need higher uplink speeds …
Okay so the RSTP thing has probably did the trick. No more connection dropping. Also disabled 5Ghz wifi network cause the outside link speed is around 50/20 so there is no need for 5Ghz speeds 2.4 will do just fine. Due to the fact that 2.4Ghz has better range i removed one of the three AP’s from one house.
Glad to hear that your connection performing better.
The trick is that the PC or iMAC is checking for a new version of the SwOS software. Not the SwOS switch. Indeed the switch has only an IP address, and knows no default gateway, DNS, or the path to Internet. The browser is combining the information from the SwOS device and the download site into one browser page.
Hey so the connection dropping is back. Now a bit different i replaced the sxt-lte with LHGG and it usually works fine but randomly at some point there is not connection to the internet. ping to google dns failes but to the router itself is okay. Once i use winbox to connect to the router then immediately the ping to google dns 8.8.8.8 starts working again. How can i start to analyse this problem to find out what is the problem?
Another thing that happens is that the uptime of LHGG after each incident goes back to 0 like it did a reboot. But in the log it does not say that it did a reboot. The session uptime on lte1 interface also goes to 0.
Upgraded the lte modem firmware lets see if that fixes anything.
/interface lte firmware-upgrade lte1
installed: R11e-LTE6_V033
latest: R11e-LTE6_V033
Nope same thing again. Added lte logging, no info there as well.
