Well, my 13 years working at Microsoft sure hasn’t prepared me to configure / or upgrade the RB450. RouterOS 4.10, takes seemingly a minute to make any changes through Winbox, with of course no feedback, so I have no clue whether it is working or not. Saw that I am able to upgrade to 5.8x stable version which totally excited me, until I realized that I apparently need to either have a serial cable or be connected to the internet to upgrade. I have the RouterBOARD attached directly to my computer with the upgrade file on my computer, but am unable to upgrade. I want so much to drive over this router with my truck.
I’m surprised that Mikrotik hasn’t taken up the cool idea, that a router should by default… work. Then the user can modify all the details meeting their orgs requirements.
Anyone have any suggestions on a non-mikrotik router that can handle extremely heavy p2p traffic?
Yea, tell me about it. Trying to change that as we speak… but bad economic times… and I’d rather have a job than not. In Seattle, we are still enjoying a 4.5% unemployment rate and that is mainly due to Microsoft. If the big giant wasn’t here, we’d be sucking pavement with everyone else.
Ok, so I finally got the .npk file into the File list. Then I dragged that file into the open space where it “downloaded” it again, but then it once again gave me an “Could not change the key - invalid key”
well, there are some configuration wizards im CLI, like, to set up dhcp-server /ip dhcp-server setup’ it will set up pool, dhcp-server network and dhcp-server and by default it will pick up IP address from interface you want to set up it on and create everything else to use that ip address. Quite useful.
