*) wireless - fixed 802.11u wireless request processing;

Until now, I din not register "802.11u" in Changelogs. What exactly was "fixed" ? Could packets related to 802.11u from foreign stations do some problem on Mikrotik AP ?

Torch doesnt work with pppoe interface. Need to be fixed I suppose.

Re: Nv2-downlink-ratio

Whooo Ahhhh !!!
Wow !!!!!
Great !!!!

I just tested Nv2-downlink-ratio (in v6.40) on one of my nv2 APs. I did NOT upgrade any clients. (Only the AP was nv2 running v6.40)
I then performed some btests

#1 with the default Nv2-downlink-ratio = 50
btest UDP both --- I get about 100 meg down to the client and 100 meg up from the client (symmetric up & down results during wireless saturation). This was the same result prior to upgrading the nv2 AP to v6.40

#2 with the default Nv2-downlink-ratio = 80 (this favors more bandwidth sent to clients at the cost of client slower uploads --- during AP wireless saturation)
btest UDP both --- I get about 180 meg down to the client and 27 meg up from the client (non symmetric up & down results during wireless saturation).

#3 with the default Nv2-downlink-ratio = 20 (this favors more bandwidth from to clients at the cost of client slower downloads --- during AP wireless saturation)
btest UDP both --- I get about 27 meg down to the client and 180 meg up from the client (non symmetric up & down results during wireless saturation).

#4 with the default Nv2-downlink-ratio = anything from 80-to-20 (((This test is performed when the AP is NOT wireless saturated)))
all speed tests results are normal bandwidth as previously experienced prior to v6.40 upgrade ((( When the AP in NOT wireless saturated )))

My conclusions:
A - Most normal NV2 APs to clients using the Internet average about-near-around 80 percent of all wireless traffic is from AP to clients.
In this scenario, setting the v6.40 AP Nv2-downlink-ratio setting to 80 can result in a whopping 80 percent more wireless bandwidth to customers during peak wireless saturation periods.
During peak-usage-periods when the nv2 AP is wireless saturated, you can sustain greater bandwidth from the AP to customers (+ 80 percent faster) at the expense of customer upload speeds (80 percent slower) during during peak-usage-periods when the nv2 AP is wireless saturated.

B - When the nv2 AP is not wireless saturated during lite-low wireless usage periods, the Nv2-downlink-ratio setting will not deliver any noticeable differences in wireless bandwidth to or from nv2 wireless customers.

C - I am guessing on this one --- Saturated WDS/PTP links should also benefit using the Nv2-downlink-ratio on v6.40 nv2 links.
If the nv2 WDS/PTP AP is sending more traffic than receiving, then set the nv2 AP Nv2-downlink-ratio to 80 (to improve peak saturation bandwidth)
If the nv2 WDS/PTP AP is receiving more traffic than receiving, then set the nv2 AP Nv2-downlink-ratio to 20 (to improve peak saturation bandwidth)

D - Although ROS prior to v6.40 did not have a Nv2-downlink-ratio setting available - it behaves as if a Nv2-downlink-ratio is set to 50

E - If you want to maintain a symmetric wireless bandwidth for up & down during nv2 AP wireless saturation periods, then set the Nv2-downlink-ratio to 50


Summary:
This new Nv2-downlink-ratio setting in v6.40 is a super wonderful feature than should be able to much better handle nv2 AP wireless peak saturation bandwidths. This setting gives control to the Mikrotik admin to flavor/prefer/enhance/increase the wireless nv2 AP traffic during wireless saturation periods by allowing the Mikrotik admin to prefer up or down bandwidth when his nv2 APs are saturated during peak periods of the day.

Thank you Mikrotik

Note: I am also going to double-post this post into the wireless section of these forums. There may be many Mikrotik admins that do not follow this side of Mikrotik anouncements re this v6.40 topic

Uplink/Downlink ratio support doesn't work. Test many times in p2p & p2mp scenario 0 extra download ratio for clients only limit upload too 20%. 0 extra download speed for clients NV2 MT 6.40 vs 6.38.5 no matter dynamic or fixed ratio.

Yeah, it will limit UP speed to 20%, because it will give 8 (dl) : 2 (ul) slots in overall .
You cant have speed gain with this update, but if one customer would use 30MB up, others use 30MB up,
after this update this guy will be capped at 12MB UP
So others will have DL gain during saturation

I have tested and it works exactly as designed - 8:2 split ratio, so in my example saturated DL for 63mbits, got ~12-13mbits UL
Once stopped saturating DL, UL have begun to rose immediatly

this is how it works

The LCD screen on my 2011UiAS-RM seems to be stuck on "starting services" on boot. Only way to get it off is to enable the LCD and then Disable it again. Started happening on the first 6.40RC release that implemented the new bridges.

Hi All,

I have found an issue with the LED signal indicator on the "SXT LTE" post upgrade to 6.40, it is still broken unchanged in 6.41rc4 also.
The signal meter "led" no longer shows signal-strength, only the bottom led light becomes active to show a connection, no meter lights thereafter.



I have been trying to get a simple installers "webfig" working, to which 6.40 has a better functioning status page than previous releases, but here we also have a problem.
The "main" page signal indicators show full bars and do not reflect that actual signal received at all.
SINR is showing correctly but RSRP and RSSI are reflecting cur: 65431 dB avg: 65433 dB max: 65436 dB and the graph is fully filled.
I think the issue here is scale and perhaps the graph not reflecting the correct information from the lte1 interface.



I have checked the "LED" type=modem-signal interfaces=lte1 and all settings appear to be correct, I can't see anything else more suitable than the setting it is already set on.
modem-signal-treshold=-91
LEDs led1 led2 led3 led4 led5

The Interface lte1 status page does however give correct readings through winbox.
RSSI: -76 dBm
RSRP: -104 dBm
RSRQ: -10 dB
SINR: 15 dB

I think, the issue is usage of unsigned integers: 65434 unsigned dword is -102 signed dword.

Treatment of signed/unsigned is sort of a recurring issue in Webfig.... there have been similar bugs in earlier versions in other functions.

Our UPS information doesn't display correctly in 6.40 anymore.

Seems like OpenVPN client "add default route" checkbox is broken.
With no checkbox selected after the connection it adds default gateway with distance 1.

Have an issue on my 2011, the LCD screen stays on after a reboot showing "Starting services". Only way to get it off is by enabling and disabling the LCD screen. Started happening on the first RC that implemented the new bridges.

Hi,

not sure if this is related to the change on the dyamic FW part, but when i do via CLI on 6.40 x86 version (tryed on 3 boxes) and on ARM (rb3011)

/ip firewall address-list add list=DynBlock timeout=15549579s comment="TEST" address=1.1.1.1

the record stays fine in the list, but if i do

/ip firewall address-list add list=DynBlock timeout=15249579s comment="TEST" address=1.1.1.1
(same for timeout=15349579s or timeout=15449579s, but not for timeout=15549579s)

the entry removes itself from the list after a second or 2.

on 6.40 running on Tile (CCR1009) i do not see this problem that the entry disappears.

I´m doing something wrong ?

I'm seeing in the Firewall / Address List, if I create a dynamic entry with a timeout, it reaches 00:00:00 but never gets removed.

So this is definitely a bug. I'm awaiting for some script generated ones to timeout so I'll confirm if its just ipv4 manually added, or script added and if its IPv6 as well..

As stated already before in this topic - address list timeout is already fixed in 6.41rc version and fix will be included in next current version too:

I can confirm that! Torch does not work with PPPoE interfaces MikroTik - please fix it.

Fantastic update!
I'm lost 3 router devices after install it - hAP ac + hEX + CCR1009 all this device go to recycling boot and don't load anymore ... :_(
Be careful, don't upgrate your ROS device on remoutly location!

Torch, address-lists and LCD blinking are already fixed in 6.41rc version. That has been stated also in previous posts within this topic.

Hi.
You mentioned that: " lte - added additional driver support for DWR-910"
Is this mean that it support USB 4G Modem D-LINK DWR-910?
How to set it up?
I have such modem and when I connect it to hAP lite ac, it just show "Mobile Connect" in USB resource !!
What can I do for make it work? this modem use RNDIS in windows to work.
Please help me Normis!!

MT you guys are still, by default blocking / disabling one of the best unique features of mikrotik + hurting the ability to deploy a large scale ENTIRELY MT infrastructure

Reinstall router with Netinstall and add your custom default configuration. Or use Flashfig for large scale deployments with custom configuration.

It wasn't obvious to me until I stumbled upon it for myself, and I'm not sure this response makes it clear either, so let me try to spell it out.

When you 'netinstall' and specify your own config, that config becomes the new default. If the subscriber defaults the config, it returns to whatever config was provided during netinstall.

So if you want a defaulted RB to leave WAN discovery on, or to tunnel in to your network for configuration, just netinstall with that rsc, and that's what you'll get whenever you default the device.

It appears his view is (see other topics) that MikroTik should ship routers that are open for outside access by default, so he can have any supplier ship MikroTik routers directly to his customers and then he can login to those routers and configure them. While that could be nice for his business case, it is of course disastrous in the general case. It would also quickly result in alarming messages on security forums "MikroTik ships routers that are open to management access from internet!", which would have negative impact on reputation.
He will have to re-think his business and find other ways to do it.

That being said, it could be interesting for MikroTik to provide some facilities for loading routers with custom configurations in a less-technical way.
It cannot be required from end users to fire up netinstall and load a config file provided by their ISP.
However, it could be a possibility to have a USB memory stick with a configuration file on it (with some predefined name) which the router would install when it is first booted with this stick in place. Some simple procedure would determine if the config is loaded or not, e.g. only after a full reset (although the procedure for that is already much too complicated to have an end user perform it for each new installation). Of course you would not want the router to re-install the same config when the stick is left inplace or later is put back, except after a full reset. Maybe some version number can be put in the config file and the router would only load files with a higher version than it has loaded before.

Then, he could ship USB sticks to his customers or have them download the file and put on an USB stick, insert it into the router and it would configure itself.

good idea, by the way. insert USB stick, turn the router off, press 'Reset' button, turn the router on, wait for LEDs, router is configured

Wouldn't this be a huge security risk? Anybody with a flash drive can reconfigure your router

After upgrade ethernet link down and up în 1 day 168 times. What is wrong?

Wouldn't this be a huge security risk? Anybody with a flash drive can reconfigure your router

Well, I mentioned there should be some procedure. Like "it only works on first boot after full reset".
Maybe it should only work while the password is still blank (routers in that state can be reconfigured anyway).
Anybody with physical access to your router could probably do bad things to it anyway.

Although, everything looks good on the physical interface - torch seems works.

Hi,

I think there is a BUG on 6.40 version.

I'm running a PPPoE server and managing my clients with UserManager on a RB450G.
I was running version 6.39.2 with no troubles and when I did the upgrade to 6.40 some users failed to authenticate via PPPoE.

In UserManager Log the following message appears repeatly:
"simultaneous session limit reached for user <xxxxx>"

And in Winbox Log the following messages appears repeatly:
"PPPoE connection established from MACADDRESS"
"user xxxxx authentication failed"

It only works on 6.40 if I change the field Shared users to Unlimited at User menu of UserManager page.
But that users shall not use more than one connection at a time.

I did a downgrade via System->Packages->Downgrade in Winbox and the system is running OK for while with version 6.37.5.

Did anyone had these troubles?

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you just use TR-069 to configure your customers, why bother with physical drives?

Sure, but TR-069 is not enabled by default either, isn't it?

Before shipping to customers, use Flashfig to set whatever defaults you want. Takes some 2 seconds + unboxing.

Before shipping to customers, use Flashfig to set whatever defaults you want. Takes some 2 seconds + unboxing.

The topic starter (see another thread) wants to have boxes shipped by a regular supplier, direct to his customers, and have them connect
these to his network so he can configure them remotely. Apparently he has an L2 network as he requested to open MAC service access
on the internet port (MAC-telnet, MAC-winbox, RoMON or whatever). Of course this could be a leak in the default environment, that is why
I suggested a mechanism where the customer can do an initial configuration action without requiring too complicated (for a customer)
actions like connecting it to a system running netinstall. Loading the initial config from USB key (only on first boot, maybe better to do it
on any boot until any manual configuration has been done because customers might fire up the box before reading or understanding that
the USB key has to be plugged in) was my proposal. TR-069 could be another one but then it should be enabled during those first boots,
on a standard unit as shipped by the suppliers.

I understand that everyone wants everything be simplified, but you can't expect to do nothing and just watch the money flow
You will have to open the box and run Flashfig in any case.

Well, my ISP uses AVM Fritz!box routers and they do have some of this functionality. There is a quickset wizard with a list of provider names,
you select the provider from that list and it gets the correct PPPoE configuration and the TR-069 service so they can push firmware upgrades etc.

It still requires the customer to connect to the router and do that initial setup, so there still is a service to have someone come by and
do that for them (and also connect it to the line or fiber, set a password on their WiFi, etc) but most people will be able to do it themselves.
The routers are shipped in factory mint condition, unopened. The provider list is in the generic release software, it is not specialized for them.

Hi pe1chl, is it possible that you past the text without the line breaks. That will make you texts a lot more readable.

Having profiles in the shipped router can supply Mikrotik with extra income but then it is maybe cheaper to have the firm that sends the router to the customer to config it.
