Where such list can be found please? Looked into the docs, not being able to find any. I am just curious, if wifi-qcom-ac still does not allow 4 address (repeater mode), or if it will allow one in future?
I wouldn’t be so sure about it. I’m pretty sure the main reason for size difference is number of radio chipset drivers included and only minor size difference is due to additional functionality available in wifi-qcom.
I don’t think MT publishes extensive list of differences. But we all know that there are differences in VLAN tag handling (wifi-qcom-ac doesn’t do it at all, wifi-qcom does it to certain extent) and the newly introduced spectral-* tools. It should be enough to check all the changelogs starting with 7.13 (when wifiwave2 got split into 3 parts), I believe that changes between wifi-qcom and wifi-qcom-ac started to accumulate since then, as far as I remember there were numerous entries about wifi-qcom and only very sparse entries about wifi-qcom-ac.
Exactly, i do have CAP and roaming between them works wonderful (HAP AX3(capsman) and HAP AC3(cap)), the problem i described is roaming of devices under same AP interfaces, sometimes they even flap around 2ghz and 5ghz few times in 5mins for no apparent reason, (tv mounted on wall not moving inch and 1m from router…)
You can now see Tx/Rx byte and packet counters for each VLAN interface when using L3HW for inter-VLAN routing (on compatible switches). These counters are accessible in the Interface List section of WinBox/WebFig or by running specific CLI commands.
Mikrotik doesn’t want to touch wifi-qcom-ac for a good reason. The moment they do that complaints will start flowing because of the package size increase and lack of storage. It has been the same size for the past couple releases, but the regular wireless package gets a slimdown again. Spectral scan would be nice as well for anything that has support for wifi-qcom-ac package because that has been on the “to-do list” for almost 10 years for ac chipsets: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/802-11ac-spectral-scan/81464/1
As always, is this something that is inferred or do we have a statement or wiki where this is stated?
I would ask MK (whom I thank for the excellent work he is doing version after version, for once do we want to congratulate the developers? ) if in a next version of ROS (or WinBox?) it is possible to add next to a command, a card or button a small guide or explanation.
For example, the FT option once and for all… is it ONLY useful with Capsman or does it actually work even without Capsamn but with the same SSID?
Essentially, you can tick the “vlan-filtering=yes” on fresh config and it won’t break anything (since default pvid=1 everywhere). You add a /interface/vlan vlan-id=42 (and ip address/dhcp-server) on the bridge. Then to use it on a port, just set pvid=42 in /interface/bridge/port to untag it. There is NO configuration needed in /interface/bridge/vlan - bridge is tagged on 42 automatically by using /interface/vlan & port’s pvid= will also untag. The both happen in “D” dynamic entry in /interface/bridge/vlan – that’s visible with print (and, correctly, not in export):
/interface/bridge/vlan> /interface/bridge/vlan/print where vlan-ids=42
Flags: D - DYNAMIC
Columns: BRIDGE, VLAN-IDS, CURRENT-TAGGED, CURRENT-UNTAGGED
# BRIDGE VLAN-IDS CURRENT-TAGGED CURRENT-UNTAGGED
;;; added by vlan on bridge
8 D bridge 42 bridge
;;; added by pvid
11 D bridge 42 ether10
VLAN 42 didn’t exist anywhere, and bridge has mvrp=no set, and set an active port “/interface/bridge/port set ether10 pvid=42”. Above was result. The comments in print aren’t mine - they are added by RouterOS. If you have hybrid ports or don’t want this… you can still just add “static” (normal) entries for VLAN 42 and do what you want.
Solves the whole “make sure tagged=bridge is in /interface/bridge/vlan”. If you set /interface/vlan to listen on the bridge, it does automatically in 7.16beta1. Great work Mikrotik!
*) bridge - show invalid flag for ports that fails to be added to bridge (e.g. maximum port limit of 1024 is reached);
From this line we found out that there is a limit of maximum 1024 ports per bridge!
(now we see that that limit has been added to the documentation on gen 02 2024.)
We have a CCR1072 that we use to terminate a lot of layer 2 FTTH/FTTC lines. So we have a lot of VLAN interfaces that go to a single bridge and then out on an ethernet interface.
Currently the router is working flawlessly and with veeery low CPU usage, but we are approaching this 1024 limit.
And 802.11r is a wireless standard. Of course it would be nice when MT would describe it in detail in their docs for their ROS specialities. But basically it is a standard implemention (by Qualcomm actually; as they use the manufacturer driver)
For ip>media, any chance to add support for sending metadata to the client? miniDLNA does this using NFO files. Otherwise, using a container will still be better.
Can confirm that my devices are now stable for the first time since the ax launch, so thats good news. Ipad Air2
Would be even better if I could fully enable FT on all 4 Radios, I still have to have one Radio with FT Disabled just for the device above.
