I am getting a “Bad gateway or Gateway unavailable” error message on all the PCs connected to the Mikrotik Router via the Hotspot feature. I am pretty sure this has to do with a timeout problem. Could someone please tell me how can I increase the Timeout var on the router? I am connected to a VSAT Internet connection wich has high latency response time of about 700 ms. Thank you!

ROS / Hotspot does not really care about timeouts…the only issue with that would be DNS.
The issue you are describing - 'Bad Gateway or Gateway unavailable ’ would typically be because you have the hotspot configured incorrectly…
Post your hotspot config and we’ll take a look at it and get you pointed in the right direction…

Thanks for your prompt reply on the issue described.
Please indicate to me how can I post the hotspot configuration?? I am new using the Mikrotik router, as well as, using this forum site.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Well then first might I suggest that you get the latest manual for MikroTik - it’s version 3. A link is posted here on the firum somewhere - do a search…
To ‘print out’ your configs…
In winbox, left side, click on ‘New Termial’, a telnet window will open. Double click on the top blue bar of this window. That will maximize the window.
You are at the command prompt…
I think we’ll need the following, after each command you can copy and paste the results in to a text file and upload here later.
/ip address print [enter] (now copy and paste in to a text file for uploading to here)
/ip route print [enter]
/ip route rule print [enter]
/ip hotspot print [enter]
/ip hotspot profile print [enter]
/ip firewall nat print [enter]
Ok - let’s start with that and see where that takes us.
Be sure to download the PDF manual - you are going to need it!
