Good signal connection that cover 40 sqmHello everyone,,
My requirements are:
Good signal connection that cover 40 sqm.
Bandwidth capping per user
Port forwarding (for priority playing games)
Redirecting page after connecting (redirect to facebook page)
I will use it for cafe.
Reading these two lines together makes me believe OP is writing about square metres ... and any AP positioned centrally will cover square of 7x7 metres just fine.Good signal connection that cover 40 sqm.

Yeah but Tom is a Yankee, its all square miles when you put in an "m" in there! ;-)

Sure. That's where context helps.m could be any of the following ?
miles
meters
also
molecules ( really really close stuff )
milk ( yea the white liquid stuff )
Agree!Good signal connection that cover 40 sqm
40 square miles ( a box grid of 6.3 miles by 6.3 miles ) or a circle with around a 7-mile diameter.
Doable with 4 or more 90-degree sector antennas
Doable with 12 or more 30-degree sector antennas ( I like RF-Elements )
Bandwidth capping per user
Mikrotik can bandwidth capping per user ( actually it does bandwidth capping per IP address )
Mikrotik can do bandwidth capping per interface on the Mikrotik.
* PfSense ( free ) , as your router that all wireless clients gateway to can do bandwidth capping per connected MAC address ( It works well )
Port forwarding (for priority playing games)
Mikrotik and PfSense can both do this
Redirecting page after connecting
This is a Walled-Garden or also known as a Captive-Portal
Mikrotik and PfSense can both do this
Note - I have a few thousand Mikrotiks and almost 100 PfSense servers in my networks.

Okay this cannot stand, one has to defend ones closest neighbour!!Yeah but Tom is a Yankee, its all square miles when you put in an "m" in there! ;-)
Well, Yankees are known not to know what units to use. Last time they tried to do anything coherent, they crashed Mars climate orbiter ...
Close - well OK , the United Stated and Canada are real close to each other ---- however ... My WISP/ISP business is 2,500 miles ( 4 thousand km ) from your ISP/WISP. Your ISP business is actually closer to South America or Ireland than to where I am in North Idaho ----- lol :)Okay this cannot stand, one has to defend ones closest neighbour!!Yeah but Tom is a Yankee, its all square miles when you put in an "m" in there! ;-)

If someone were to twist my arm and force me to buy MT wifi it would be the hapac3 due to its ability to use future wifi5 fixes.
The audience is also of that ilk but I think overkill for that small area??
I almost agree.The reason there are so many switch chip discrepancies is because the Big Mik cuts costs by only giving you what you need, and that "need" changes depending on the device, unlike Cisco/other-vendor-here which gives you all the features as well as all the costs.
Well on bridge vlan filtering its time intensive......... but easy.I love Mikrotik routers and wireless devices !
However ... When it comes to switching using ROS ( using the ethernet switch chip -or the CPU for software switching ) , the Mikrotik ROS CLI & http & Winbox is just horrible !
For example - try doing this:
- Let say you have 5 to 48 ethernet-and/or-sfp ports
Part 1 ( vlan access ports )
1-a - Some ports are untagged Vlan 5 ( mode access Vlan 5 )
1-b - Some ports are untagged Vlan 6 ( mode access Vlan 6 )
1-c - Some ports are untagged Vlan 7 ( mode access Vlan 7 )
Part 2 ( simple 802.1q Trunk ports )
2-a Four ports are trunk ( all Vlans allowed out and all Vlans allowed in )
Part 3 ( complex 802.1q Trunk ports )
3-a Two ports are trunk ( all vlans are allowed in&out except Vlan 1 and 9 and 10 )
3-b Two ports are trunk ( all vlans are allowed in&out except Vlans 3,15-30 )
3-c Two ports are trunk ( all vlans are allowed in&out except Vlans 50,52,60-70 )
3-d Two ports are trunk ( only Vlans 51,80,83-85 are allowd in&out )
3-e Two ports are trunk ( only Vlans 1,91,93-98 are allowd in&out )
I have worked with Cisco switches for over 20 years - easy.
There is tons of informatioin on the Internet showing how to do this on a Cisco.
When it comes to doing this on a Mikrotik ROS device, this is almost impossible.
You have to lookup what switch chip you have so that you know what the switch can do.
You are all over the place in many settings/screens.
Even if you are a god on Cisco switches, odds are you will fail the first dozen times trying to configure the above parts on a Mikrotik !
And , even if you decide to research and watch videos to switch on a Mikrotik, the information resources explaining how to do so are almost impossible to locate.
I wish Mikrotik would make some changes to their GUI ( web and winbox ) and create a new screen that has everything on one screen.
Am I the only person who has been trying for years to figure out how to do this on a Mikrotik and still can't do this ?

@gotsprings.
The lack of client complaints, is absolutely worth it.
