SXT-LTE6 Bridge on ether 2 no internet

[tonydfromkent]

Hi Everyone,

I use eth01 as my main connection and want to use eth02 which I have connected to a switch so i can use internet on other devices in house but i dont seem to be getting internet or dns?. I have created a bridge and the link is showing as active but it doesnt shows a connection but its not able to access the internet.I also would like to know how to set up wifi on this device if possible?. If anyone has an easy to understand guide that would be great.

The SXT-LTE6 should have a default configuration as "LTE CPE", i.e. with the LTE set as WAN to connect to the ISP and the two ether ports already assembled in a bridge and set as LAN, but maybe that particular device model has a different default because ether2 is also PoE out .

Post your current configuration, instructions here:

Hello and welcome to the Mikrotik forum For all new users that uses RouterOS for the first time and have some questions regarding their config here is short tutorial on how to access RouterOS configuration using "WinBox" and how to export their configuration and posting it properly in their topic. So after you unpack your new device and connect it to the power supply you need to connect it to the PC. Be careful when connecting because to access your new router you need to use one of…

and surely someone will be able to spot where the issue is.

For wifi it will be a bit tougher , as the SXT LTE6 does not have a wi-fi radio, you will need a separate access point device.

How do I post my config here and is there info I need to remove when uploading. I deleted the bridge and now will have to factory reset as I didn’t do it in safe mode and foolishly didn’t back up.I will reset tomorrow and set up again and try again.

Good, then post your configuration just after the reset, so it is "clean", you only have to obfuscate the serial of the device and the MAC address (even if they are not that much "sensitive" data), all the rest should be "default".

Hi I can now access the router but cant access the internet. How do i export my config?.

Well, somehow you posted here, so you do have some access to the internet.

You follow the instruction given?

Or you mean that you cannot access internet from the same device that you use for connecting to the Mikrotik?

The export is saved as a file on the device you use to access the Mikrotik, it is a plain text file, with the .rsc extension (you can open it in any plain text editor), you need to find a way to copy that file to the device you use that has internet access, and then you upload it (or better copy/paste its contents inside CODE tags).

So I can access the router via winbox app or browser via 192.168.1.1 but the router itself doesn’t allow me to access the internet.so if I go to google browser and try and access a page it doesn’t work.so I don’t know if it’s proxy or dns or something like that.I can see the LTE side is accessing cell towers and getting a signal but I can’t load a web page if I turn off Wi-Fi from my normal home network I.e BT.

Yep, likely you have some mis-configuration.

But without seeing your configuration it is a guessing game with improbable success.

A very common issue with LTE connection is the settings relative to the APN.
In a nutshell:

1. some SIM provide autoamatically the APN in a form that Mikrotik understands (in this case, and I believe it is default, the appropriate setting is "use-network-apn=yes")
2. other SIMs either do not provide the APN or do so in a way that the Mikrotik doesn't understand, in these cases you need to insert manually the correct APN AND use setting "use-network-apn=no"

Very often the issue is with the APN. Make sure what the MEO APN should be, “internet” is probably a generic one. In some cases you need to explicitly set: use-network-apn=no https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/RKB/Chateau+LTE12+APN+problem http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/lte-apn-with-fix-ip/139907/1 if you manually put “internet” as the APN it won’t be considered unless the use-network-apn is set to “no” (the Mikrotik default is “yes” for this setting) See also: http://forum.mikrotik.com…

Ok I will take another look later at the settings.I will also look at the guide on how to upload my config to this post. I basically want on eth01 an internet connection that goes upstairs to a switch that goes to a laptop and a to then on eth02 to connect to a switch which multiple devices connect to the internet as follows, TV ,firestick,PS5,Deco wireless hub.so I need internet access on both Ethernet connections.
