After years of using the RouterOS Bandwidth Test features without issue, everything seems to have stopped working. I'm aware of the authentication changes in 6.43.2 and have change my configuration accordingly. I have also discontinued my use of the BTest.exe windows app and I am only working with multiple routers at this time. I have multiple routers on our internal network and none of my testing traverses the internet or any public network.
With Windows BTest depreciated, I setup a Mikrotik router on my desk as a 5 port switch, with no routing or firewall rules. This router is able to check for updates on the internet and successfully ping all my other internal routers. There appears to be no IP routing issues along any path.
Observed issues:
1) bandwidth testing between two routers on same subnet works with and without authentication.
2) testing between any two routers on different internal subnets fails with a "can't connect" error, with or without authentication enabled.
Anyone else running into something like this? I welcome any suggestions on this one as we are at wits end without a replacement for testing at this time.
Thanks!
