Anyone got a dual-stacked IPv4/IPv6 PPPoE connection up and running yet?

I’m playing around with mine now, so if anyone has a working configuration please post a copy (minus auth details obviously ;-D).

No more wireless changes yet?? Looking forward xmas eve present, oink oink :laughing:
Have to say Mikrotik is moving forward much better then we have had seen in last year backview.. Thumbs up.. This way we gonna announce IPV6 implementation soon to our custs..

5

Nope. :frowning: I’ve added the dhcp-client entry, but it’s just stuck on “Searching…”. I suspect a firewall issue somewhere.

6

Any progress with #2011062966000309 or #2011111766000189 ?

7

I get exactly the same, just sits on “Searching…”

8

If I open IPv6 outbound udp/567 and inbound udp/546 I can see packets leaving the RouterOS, but nothing coming back. I know that DHCPv6-PD works, as I’ve tested it with a generic Linux-based router and a Fritz!Box device. I’m not sure why RouterOS is not getting the returned packets.

9

When RB reaches high load (100%) for a a while it reboots. I had to downgrade to 5.8 again.

I even had to disable some of the wireless cards to be able to upload the 5.8 version so it wouldn´t reboot while
uploading.

I could not rebuild the Userman database without the RB rebooted itself

SUPOUT sent to MT

who is “honzam”? Is this the official MT release of v5.9? How official is this release?

11

I see two wireless changes/improvement in the changelog. What is it you are waiting for?

12

do you need more official than the official webpage?

  • Locked up RB 750GL - unable to remote to the router.

  • Lights up blinking on all ethernet ports.

  • unable to reset

Ready to dismantle the Router and to be sent for RMA :frowning:

14

this is definitely not related to v5.9 or any other RouterOS version. you got yourself a hardware issue, contact support

15

can you all please test the “Latvia” download mirror? What speeds to you get in your country (name it). Is it higher than ususal?

16

Latvia.100 mbps

17

Speed is same if not slower than the regular latvia mirror (most mirrors except the Australian ones are slow for us due to RTT affect on TCP).

you are the first in your country to download. the second person should get it quickly.

19

No, I’m a member of the forum. You are not enough official download page?
