Can ping IP's/Websites, but no internet.

Sun May 08, 2022 12:10 am

I absolutely desperately need to solve this issue, so I'm going to try this again now that I've narrowed down my problem a bit.

RBM11G + Quectel RM502Q-AE + Tmobile

This modem was working since December, but stopped working a few weeks ago. After it stopped working, I could still ping IP's from PC, but not addresses. I could ping both in winbox. I've since tweaked my configuration and can now ping both from my PC, but I still have no internet. This isn't isolated to my PC, but my asus router and all devices. Winbox even times out when searching for updates, so I assume the modem itself lacks the internet as well.

My configuration tweak was removing the DNS servers I had originally set, 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4. Another tweak that was recommended was setting the DNS to 192.168.88.1 and turning "allow remote requests" on.

Configuration:

EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't aware export didn't do the full configuration. Here's the full export verbose configuration.

You are using the DNS of a device most likely a modem: 192.0.0.1,fd00:976a::9,fd00:976a::10....these IPv6 DNS servers seems indeed to be used by t-mobile.

If t-mobile is blocking DNS request made to other DNS servers than you could experience what you describe.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/commen ... hijacking/

Why do some ask always for the full config while reading the given info, give a clue where to begin looking!

Ping works from Mikrotik device so DNS is working, but only partially since it doesn't work from lan.
Hence the (logical) request to see the rest of the config.

Quick test could also be to manually set dns to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 or whatever you like.
If that works, then that wrong dns was the problem.
If it doesn't, something else is wrong.
And then the full config needs to be shown.

Ping in Winbox is using the DNS of the device you are using to run Winbox.

If you want to test from the router then use :resolve in terminal.
:put [:resolve "www.mikrotik.com"]

This would be hard to believe... winbox is nothing more then a kind of telnet session.
Whatever you do there, is ON that device.

Nope, not for DNS in Winbox. Addres-list excluded that resolves inside the router.

I still don't believe that's true.
Have had plenty of situations were ping worked from winbox but not from local cmd window.
So that does not make sense if your statement would be true.

What about webfig then ?
Or plain ssh ?

I need more info to be convinced of that statement.

dynamic-servers: 192.0.0.1,fd00:976a::9,fd00:976a::10

Where are you getting 192.0.0.1 from? That's a special-purpose IANA address, not something you should be using on a private LAN, nor for use by T-Mobile.

I suspect you could solve your problem simply by configuring the DHCP client on the router to "use-peer-dns=yes". That will allow the router's DHCP server to offer 192.168.88.1 as the DNS to local clients as you've got it configured now, acting as a DNS cache for T-Mobile's DNS.

I already answered that earlier. T-mobile can do in their network what they want. Outside their network that is different.

I am writing about Winbox ping in Tools and not of ping in Terminal. In Terminal it uses the DNS server defined in the router.

I already answered that earlier.

Not to my satisfaction.

FC00::/7 is a private IPv6 space, likely used by T-Mobile for CGNAT. I don't see that the same explanation applies to 192.0.0.0/24; the equivalent in IPv4 land is 100.64.0.0/10.

My wild guess is it's a typo for 192.168.0.1, the user's LTE modem IP.

If your point is that T-Mobile's DNS plays games with advertising and such, that still doesn't address my point, since using a broken IPv4 DNS IP doesn't solve that problem, either. The OP said they previously used Google's DNS to get around that, but if T-Mobile is blocking common third-party DNS, the solution is DoH or similar.

If you look at the DNS printout you see that it are dynamic-servers. There is no user input possible there.

That is not my point. My point is that t-mobile can control what you can visit (resolved) or not, like the EU/Dutch government is doing in the Netherlands forcing ISP's to filter their DNS.

T-mobile can enforce that you use their DNS. You can then switch your router in War-mode by using DoH or use a VPN to have your freedom back.

The answer to my initial question then is, "T-Mobile is misusing 192.0.0.1". If so, that sucks.

Thanks for clarifying.

Winbox use the DNS of the windows machine (simulated or not) where is used.
No matter if to the device is connected by MAC or by IP.
Try yourself setting on windows non-routerboard IP and removing DNS IP from routerboard.

For force RouterOS to solve the resoluction of a DNS using specific server, just:
:put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com server=1.1.1.1]

Why the mangle rule for lte ?
This is one hack for thetering when that is not allowed from provider.
Usually, if the provider notices it, then it will no longer make the connection work, until you change IMEI or MAC...
Some provider block directly MikroTik IMEI for this...

Re: Can ping IP's/Websites, but no internet.

I updated the main post with the full configuration. Sorry about that, I wasn't aware of export verbose.

Is that the full config ?

Why the mangle rule for lte ?
I don't have it on my SXT lte device so I'm curious ?

Mangle is so that tmobile treats it as phone data (unlimited) instead of hotspot/tethering (a measly 40GB/month for their best package, after which it is capped at 600kbps). I have tried with and without the mangle rules, so those aren't causing the problem. Again, this config (minus the recent changes to DNS) worked fine for months and a few times for several hours in the days following my internet loss.

Ping works from Mikrotik device so DNS is working, but only partially since it doesn't work from lan.
Hence the (logical) request to see the rest of the config.

Quick test could also be to manually set dns to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 or whatever you like.
If that works, then that wrong dns was the problem.
If it doesn't, something else is wrong.
And then the full config needs to be shown.

I started out with 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and it worked fine for months, and I recently tried the current configuration, having no DNS servers, and using the IPv4 servers that were in use by my phone to no avail. I had a couple periods for several hours the days following my internet outage where the internet worked with my old configuration, but nothing since. I could ping ip's, but I couldn't ping urls until after removed my old dns servers.

Re: Can ping IP's/Websites, but no internet.

I have no idea if this helps:

> :put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com server=1.1.1.1]
failure: dns server failure
> :put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com server=8.8.8.8]
failure: dns server failure
> :put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com]
159.148.147.196
> :put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com server=208.54.80.113]
failure: dns server failure
> :put [:resolve www.mikrotik.com server=fd00:976a::10]
159.148.147.196

The only tested server that works is the IPv6 dynamic server from tmobile, which I'm assuming the serverless option also used. The 208.54.80.113 server is an IPv4 server that ipleak says my phone is using.

I see a suggestion on what the problem might be, but I don't see an actual fix? I've been trying to use tmobiles DNS servers for a few days now, which is why I can ping addresses now vs when I was using 8.8.8.8, but I still have no internet.

Bump

I still have no internet, but I mostly took the day off because it's my birthday (unfortunately I didn't get my internet back as a present :( ). I did try to setup DoH on the routerboard yesterday night, and assuming I did it correctly, it didn't solve my issue. I also tried it through firefox a little while ago, and verified that it was working through the cloudflare dns test, and it didn't solve my issue either (I made sure it was working correctly while I was tethered first). I did forget to mention that I do have a VPN, but I haven't been able to connect with it either.

Until this discussion, i was unaware of rfc6333 which discusses 192.0.0.0/29 and Dual-Stack Lite Broadband Deployments Following IPv4 Exhaustion.

I skimmed the rfc, but I can't say I undertand it. But it is possible that T-Mobile is following the standard.

Tried a few different IPv6 DNS's today with no luck. I was able to ping with them, but still no internet. Tried searching for solutions for a few hours and found nothing. I'm coming down with the flu that my family has had the last week, so I doubt I'll be messing around with it unless somebody gives me something new to try.

Hi, me again. Seen this being done so many times and you can't anything about it then taking a different ISP.

Normal DNS goes over port 53 TCP/UDP. T-mobile has complete control over those ports and any other DNS resolvers you try to contact are dropped or redirected.

Ask written earlier you can switch over DoH by putting your router in 'War' mode. T-mobile could see that you have your knife out, cutting your way out of their control.

Yes thry can block that too by filtering on IP address but then it is certainly time seek an other ISP or emigrate to more free country. ;-)

What is war mode? I'm having a hard time finding any reference to this in my search results. I have an ASUS router, BTW.

No winking required. I'd gladly emigrate if it were easier/cheaper to do so and the Netherlands would definitely be in my top five.

The Netherlands is a less free country than the USA so you are down to four. Luckily is Musk in your country yanking on the steering wheel to get back to the middle of the road now. Ehen you are back in the middle the other countries will line up also.

I am really AGAINST DoH in General and DoT instead would please me. DoH should only be used in countries where the people are oppressed and can't have free gathering of information in an other way.

DoH circumvent the control but the information gathering firms (Big Tech) jumped the que and love to offer their DoH services. So I am twice against DoH. Sad sad world.

I use the authorative DNS servers to resolve, but that way is sadly also t-mobile closed for you. The provider I use over here is named Freedom because there your choice is answered. Dispite they have to obey the decretes from the EU.
Sky UK did/does give back some IP addresses from authoritative DNS servers to frustrate resolving. That is also evil.

DoH was added to RouterOS a while ago, not seeing DoT also be there looks looks skewed to me.

Then, it is perfectly fine to use do DoH when your ISP restricts your freedom of choice for the DNS provider.

ps. 4.4.4.4/8.8.8.8 is Google (Alpabeth) and they are EVIL. They removed the text 'don't be evil' from their corporate code of conduct in 2015.

War mode: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... HTTPS(DoH)

Please enter in your static DNS of your Mikrotik router cloudflare-dns.com address 1.1.1.1 this in case t-mobile also blocks that in their DNS. The domainname is important to check the certificate used for DoH.

rfc6333 which discusses 192.0.0.0/29 and Dual-Stack Lite Broadband Deployments Following IPv4 Exhaustion.

I skimmed the rfc, but I can't say I undertand it.

I've now skimmed the RFC, too, and if I do understand it, it explains the OP's problems perfectly. The money quote is §6.4, which I paraphrase as "…a DS-Lite node…will perform DNS resolution over IPv6, [not over the 192.0.0.1 address]." The key fact from this is that 192.0.0.1 isn't a DNS server address at all!

As far as I can tell, RouterOS doesn't implement RFC 6333, nor the related RFC 6334, a companion for DHCPv6 that tells the CPE (the OP's RBM11G in this case) that it needs to shift into RFC 6333 behavior on this network.

Until MikroTik gets around to implementing these DS-Lite protocols, the only option I see for getting your clients working on that network is to disable IPv4 on each client. DS-Lite isn't traditional dual-stack; it requires the CPE to do the B4/AFTR stuff the RFC talks about to get IPv4 over IPv6 in such a network. Since RouterOS currently can't do that, any attempt to use IPv4 on that network will fail.

The implications for doing may not be terrible, if your Internet usage is typical. One of the upsides of all this cloud-everything consolidation is that the vast bulk of Internet sites and services are available over IPv6 these days. (That's by popularity, not by IP address. There's a long tail effect here.) This includes sites you think of as independent because they're hosted on one of the big clouds. Even tiny one-person part-time blogs are likely to be on WordPress, SquareSpace, etc.

Within those restrictions, I believe you can solve this problem with:

/ip dhcp-client
add interface=lte1 use-peer-dns=no
/ip dns
set servers=d00:976a::9,fd00:976a::10

That is, we're deliberately dropping the 192.0.0.1 address from that list to force RouterOS to use the IPv6 DNS addresses. Those should give IPv6 AAAA records back, which then makes your client access each site over IPv6.

You might be able to use IPv6-only DNS schemes like CloudFlare's instead, but that's pure speculation. I recommend getting things working with T-Mobile's DNS before getting tricky.

The reason I say you need to make your clients ignore IPv4 is that so much of what you do online these days is via a web browser, and all of the major browser vendors skip traditional DNS entirely by default these days. (Details: Chrome; Safari; Firefox.) If your browser thinks it can do IPv4, it won't force these services to return IPv6 addresses, so the connection will fail because the CPE can't do that cute B4/AFTR dance on the browser's behalf.

So, one more big wish for the RouterOS v7 list! Let's hope they get around to implementing it before IPv4 goes away entirely, currently scheduled for 2088.

Until MikroTik get around to implementing these protocols, the only option forward I see on that network is to disable IPv4 on your clients, since you need the CPE to do the B4/AFTR stuff the RFC talks about to get IPv4 over IPv6 in such a network. It isn't traditional dual-stack, so RouterOS can't get IPv4 to work any other way.

The implications for doing may not be terrible, if your Internet usage is typical. One of the upsides of all this cloud-everything consolidation is that the vast bulk of Internet sites and services are available over IPv6 these days. This includes sites you think of as independent because they're hosted on one of the big clouds. Even tiny one-person part-time blogs are likely to be on WordPress, SquareSpace, etc.

Within those restrictions, I believe you can solve this problem with:

/ip dhcp-client
add interface=lte1 use-peer-dns=no
/ip dns
set servers=d00:976a::9,fd00:976a::10

That is, we're deliberately dropping the 192.0.0.1 address from that list to force RouterOS to use the IPv6 DNS addresses. Those should give IPv6 AAAA records back, which then makes your client access each site over IPv6.

You might be able to use IPv6-only DNS schemes like CloudFlare's instead, but that's pure speculation. I recommend getting things working with T-Mobile's DNS before getting tricky.

The reason I say you need to make your clients ignore IPv4 is that so much of what you do online these days is via a web browser, and all of the major browser vendors skip traditional DNS entirely by default these days. (Details: Chrome; Safari; Firefox.) If your browser thinks it can do IPv4, it won't force these services to return IPv6 addresses, so the connection will fail because the CPE can't do that cute B4/AFTR dance on the browser's behalf.

So, one more big wish for the RouterOS list!

/ip/dhcp-client> add interface=lte1 use-peer-dns=no
input does not match any value of interface

I don't seem to be able to pick lte1 as an interface, only ether1.

BTW, I really appreciate the solid attempt and time you and anyone else is putting into this.

I don't know how LTE on RouterOS works. Maybe it has implicit DHCP?

Try the DNS server override. If it works, it should keep working until you restart the router or the DHCP lease expires.

By the way, you really don't have to quote the entire message. It's up above for everyone to see. Quoting is so you can refer to an element of a longer post, or to make it clear who you're replying to. A sentence or two usually suffices.

A useful test for whether any of this is working is to visit these two URLs in succession:

http://[2620:12e:1000::a00:f]
http://v6.testmyipv6.com/

The first one may change after I post this: it's the current raw IPv6 address for that site.

If the first works but the second doesn't, I'm right that you have IPv6 support, but your DNSv6 isn't working right.

If both work but something else doesn't, we can debug it from there.

I am really AGAINST DoH in General and DoT instead would please me. DoH should only be used in countries where the people are oppressed and can't have free gathering of information in an other way.
After https was introduced, DNS was the most easy way for ISP to log what you do. I am living in a free country and have no restriction on the internet, but I still like to chose who should see my DNS request. That I can do with DoH. Why is DoT better than DoH? Isn't the goal the same, just different approach?

I added those two servers and tried the two links. I got nothing from either of them.

Can't ping the tmobile IPv6 address either.

Can't ping the tmobile IPv6 address either, results in a timeout.

I can turn off "use peer dns" in the LTE APN settings, which causes the three dynamic servers to vanish, but the results are the same.

That looks like partial success to me.

I went poking into the LTE interface settings in WinBox, and even though I don't have an LTE modem, it let me see that you might have two settings still wrong, if your updated config in the top post is still valid:

1. IP type should be IPv6 until you get IPv4 tunelling working, not "auto".
2. IPv6 Interface should be set. I hesitate to guess "lte1" again, but there is likely only going to be one choice on the drop-down in WinBox.

I can turn off "use peer dns" in the LTE APN settings

Yes, that looks good. Use manual IPv6 DNS servers of some kind (not necessarily T-Mobile's) until you get IPv4 tunelling working.

Since posting the above, I've learned that T-Mobile started doing IPv6-only in 2013 via RFC 6877, which is a different scheme entirely. Maybe what happened to you earlier this year is that your local segment of T-Mobile switched to DS-Lite?

DoH and DoT are not the same. DoT is a encrypted version of DNS resolv requests. In the Netherlands, the Dutch government enforces a EU decrete, that all ISP filter certain results.

DoH is there to circumvent control in the upstream for DNS cached resolve.

Your ISP can log your resolve requests so choose your ISP carefully. DoT encrypt traffic, so that third parties can't see your traffic. You can choose and other DNS provider than that of your ISP if then the ISP allows that. If not, use DoH which is build to go to WAR.

And here we go bring in the EU: https://nitter.net/moritzkoerner/statu ... 0721438721 the document is in English

On Ds-lite rfc6333 and rfc6334 there is an topic about it, and the needed information can be read out from V7.

Reading between the lines in that thread and RFC 6334, it looks like the DHCP option sets a variable called “tunnel-endpoint-name” which you can then plug into scripts like @tdw’s in this thread.

I believe the variable’s value goes where he’s got the m-online.net tunnel endpoint now.

Putting all this supposition together and testing it would be within my scope if I had a copy of the OP’s hardware and a T-mobile network subscription to run it against, but I don’t.

Until then, I still believe you can use their network in IPv6-only mode without this IPIP refinement.

Ok, "use peer dns" is off, IP is set to IPv6, and interface is set to lte1 (I can choose between ether1, lte1, and none). I tried the two addresses again with no success.

Re: Can ping IP's/Websites, but no internet.

Wed May 11, 2022 8:07 pm

So Mikrotik.com has IPv6 and IPv4. Then when you use to ping with the IPv4 address then you did not get an answer. This due to as it has become clear by now the you have DS-lite and Mikrotik does not support that. This only allows IPv6 traffic and you are not able to use IPv4 at all. Was I wrong that t-mobile blocks any external DNS servers? Try this:
nslookup mikrotik.com 2001:4860:4860::8888
This will show if Google DNS is reachable or not. Or that t-mobile intercepts and answer for Goorgle:
Server: yyyyyyyyyy
Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mikrotik.com
Addresses: 2a02:610:7501:1000::2
159.148.147.196


If xxxxxxxxxxxx is 2001:4860:4860::8888 then Google was allowed by t-mobile to answer
if xxxxxxxxxxxx is fd00:976a::9 or fd00:976a::10 then t-mobile answered instead.

Pinging mikrotik.com [159.148.147.196] with 32 bytes of data:

Just because you ask a DNS server for an address over IPv6 doesn't mean you'll get an IPv6 address back. Here, it gave you an IPv4 address, which we know won't work under DS-Lite until you get the IPIP tunnel working per the tdw postings in the other thread I linked, combined with the DHCPv6 RFC 6334 results.

I don't see a way to force the matter in RouterOS short of disabling IPv4 entirely, and I don't even know how to do that for certain.

The CLI tools for the various desktop operating systems are generally more powerful, and therefore can force an IPv6 address lookup, even when IPv4 is enabled. Example:

C:\> nslookup
> set type=aaaa
> server 2606:4700:4700::64
Default server: 2606:4700:4700::64
Address: 2606:4700:4700::64#53
> mikrotik.com
Server:		2606:4700:4700::64
Address:	2606:4700:4700::64#53

Non-authoritative answer:
mikrotik.com	has AAAA address 2a02:610:7501:1000::2

The nslookup tool is installed by default on Windows. The key is the "set type=aaaa" command, forcing an IPv6 address record (AAAA) lookup. The default is "a", being IPv4 address (A) record lookup.

This pattern repeats in other areas, such as in the "-6" flag to the Windows implementation of ping, to force an ICMPv6 ping packet instead of the default IPv4.

>ping 2620:12e:1000::a00:f

Pinging 2620:12e:1000::a00:f with 32 bytes of data:
PING: transmit failed. General failure.

I'm not sure what's up with that. I can ping it from here, but I'm doing it with "ping6", the standard Linux/BSD/macOS tool for this, roughly equivalent to Windows' "ping -6". You need a tool that can be forced to speak IPv6 as long as IPv4 is known-broken in your setup.

ping fd00:976a::9 // Tmobile DNS

This one I can't help you with because fc00::/7 is the IPv6 equivalent of RFC 1918 private LAN addressing. (That scope includes fd00::/8.) If that address is a valid DNS server, it's only available on your local T-Mobile subnet.

It's possible that it is a real DNS server, but it isn't pingable. It's not a nice thing to do, but in this wide crazy world, there are network operators that do a lot of not-nice things.

So no answer. Then try directly from RouterOS and the command in terminal is:

:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=2001:4860:4860::8888]

and then

:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=fd00:976a::9]

I wish you and your family the best of health and that flu will be over soon.

Thanks, it is not what I expected so the next one should certainly not work:
:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=8.8.8.8]
If it works then the DNS resolver of the router answers the resolve request.

Also clear DNS cache: IP DNS Cache and then click flush.

Can you do the same flushing with this again:

:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=2001:4860:4860::8888]

If so then you can use an other DNS resolver then the one of t-mobile.

Then you still lack the conversion of IPv4 traffic to DS-lite so over the LTE you only can use IPv6.

I don't know much about DS-lite.

I don't see the point of proceeding with RouterOS commands that can't force IPv6 AAAA lookups and such. You're just confusing yourselves with all this IPv4 admixture.

As for the "Ping -6 and nslookup results for tangent" above, that's total failure, but I wonder if you have an IPv6 network set up on the Windows box, and if the RouterOS box is a member of it. What are the IPs? What's the Windows box's IPv6 gateway? etc.

MobiusToad, realize that you have the itch, the hardware, and the network. I don't think any of your respondents in this thread have any one element matching that, much less all three elements together. At some point, I think you're going to have to carry this ball over the line.

Even if — wild thought — you bought one or even some of us the gear you're using and subscribed us to T-Mobile, the very fact that we're in different parts of the world might be enough to prevent us from properly advising you beyond a certain point. National-scale networks are complex; a solution that works in one region may well fail in another.

There's no substitute for knowing what you're doing.

The only thing I was intersted in if there was the choice to usea third party DNS.

The DNS of the router does not prefer IPv4 or IPv6 but you could create a DNS resolver that only return IPv6.

Or even better DNS64 adresses if it are IPv4 resovled ones.

https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/bl ... ADME.DNS64

DNS64 Module Options

The dns64 module must be configured in the module-config: “dns64 validator iterator” directive and be compiled into the daemon to be enabled. These settings go in the server: section.

dns64-prefix: <IPv6 prefix>

This sets the DNS64 prefix to use to synthesize AAAA records with. It must be /96 or shorter. The default prefix is 64:ff9b::/96.
dns64-synthall: <yes or no>

Debug option, default no. If enabled, synthesize all AAAA records despite the presence of actual AAAA records.
dns64-ignore-aaaa: <name>

List domain for which the AAAA records are ignored and the A record is used by dns64 processing instead. Can be entered multiple times, list a new domain for which it applies, one per line. Applies also to names underneath the name given.
Testing:
:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=2001:4860:4860::6464]
:put [:resolve mikrotik.com server=2001:4860:4860::64]

DUH....is DS-lite just an DNS server returning adapted IPv4 addresses in special IPv6 format. The NAT is on the side of the ISP and that takes care of the converting and connecting to the IPv4 only device and return traffic on the IPv6 address of the client.

If it is only the DNS rewriting the addresses then it should not be to difficult for Mikrotik to implement that. The drawback is that IPv4 firewall becomes useless and confuse the user because they think I am using an IPv4 address. Then it gets complicated when the IPv4 is handled as IPv6 address but still gets handled by the IPv4 firewall...a kind of split horizon....to many different options.

DS-lite looks simple but when is an IPv4 address an IPv4 address and when is it a special IPv6 address. If you put an check on the WAN and only the WAN that it is an DS-lite connection then check if for any plain IPv4 addresses and convert those to a special IPv6 address. Routing, VPN etc. can still work as before and only if the traffic reaches the WAN the IPv4 addresses, source and destination are exchanged for IPv6 ones. When traffic returns the opposite is done. Then it should be transparent for RouterOS

Then you can't indeed not ping any plain written IPv4 addresses because the IPv4 stack is missing it's own lane to the ISP. You can ping domain names because that are rewritten by the DNS server of the ISP here to an special IPv6 format.

How about DNSSEC then. The DNS provider can check and set the DS flag but a check on the client side should fail if the target does not have also a IPv6 address.

Stock W10pro network settings, just reinstalled a little over a week ago when my nvme drive decided to die on me. IPv6 seems to be activated for each adapter and each lists both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Though I knew of it and the reason it exists, I haven't dealt with IPv6 until now, and I am doing research, but I'm not quite sure how to tell if the routerboard "is a member of it".

Even if — wild thought — you bought one or even some of us the gear you're using and subscribed us to T-Mobile, the very fact that we're in different parts of the world might be enough to prevent us from properly advising you beyond a certain point. National-scale networks are complex; a solution that works in one region may well fail in another.

I wish I could afford that, but the setup wasn't cheap and things are tight right now due to "inflation" (some for legitimate reasons, most of it not so much) and a bad string of medical related downtime's and expenses (sure wish we had universal healthcare), and now the flu getting us and a car having problems. The most I could possibly offer right now is maybe a small bounty for a working configuration.

There's no substitute for knowing what you're doing.

I've always built my own PC's, I'm a self taught programmer, and I've even done some php/java/sql web development in the past, so I normally have the same viewpoint. I had planned on simply getting more knowledgeable as I slowly expanded the network to include a Mikrotik PoE router, switch, and some access points. If I had plenty of time on my hands I could probably reach that point, but I'm pretty busy and have the family getting very impatient with the internet situation, including myself, and outside of pure luck don't see myself getting it working in a reasonable time frame without help, especially if people far more experienced in Mikrotik and networking here don't have the solution.

Same way you do with IPv4: look at the addresses on both sides and look at the subnet masks. If both hosts aren't part of the same IPv6 subnet and the RouterOS box isn't set as the Windows box's IPv6 gateway, then it's no wonder you can't ping through the router.

The most I could possibly offer right now is maybe a small bounty…

It was a hypothetical put out to show that even if you did everything within reason to help us, a solution we made here for our local piece of the world-wide T-Mobile network might not apply to the network you have there.

I'm pretty busy and have the family getting very impatient with the internet situation

Then I recommend one of two paths:

1. Change ISPs. It's rare for an ISP to pose the difficulties you're seeing. The only reason to put up with it is if they're offering you something compelling, and you have the skills to use their oddball setup. I'm pretty sure you lack those skills, and you complain of lack of time to acquire them.

2. Buy an off-the-shelf commodity solution known to work with your local network. Surely T-Mobile would be happy to sell you such a thing. Why are you trying to avoid buying and using their first-party offering? I assume there is a good answer to that question, so let me add a follow-on question: Did you expect a third-party lash-up to work without effort and expertise?

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look further into that once my head stops feeling like it going to explode. Even if I end up copy/pasting something from the forum that gets everything working, I'd still like to fully understand said solution.

Sorry, my brain isn't working today. My adapter says no network access under IPv6 Connectivity and no IPv6 default gateway in details. I assume the reason Windows hasn't filled those in itself is because the routerboard isn't supplying those details to Windows. I'll try and look through all the IPv6 documentation when my head stops feeling like it's going to explode.

1. Change ISPs. It's rare for an ISP to pose the difficulties you're seeing. The only reason to put up with it is if they're offering you something compelling, and you have the skills to use their oddball setup. I'm pretty sure you lack those skills, and you complain of lack of time to acquire them.

That oddball setup didn't exist when I got it. I switched to tmobile from tracfone because I needed to move to a full data family plan and tmobile seemed like it was best option. My only other option is possibly AT&T and/or getting on the starlink waiting list and probably not getting it until 2023.

2. Buy an off-the-shelf commodity solution known to work with your local network. Surely T-Mobile would be happy to sell you such a thing. Why are you trying to avoid buying and using their first-party offering? I assume there is a good answer to that question, so let me add a follow-on question: Did you expect a third-party lash-up to work without effort and expertise?

The answer to that question is that tmobile (or any other service) wasn't offering home internet to this address or any proxy address I could use at the time of us moving, plus most people disliked the modem they were using, and so I needed to go the modem+phone sim card route in order to get the internet. I wanted a PoE modem located outdoors next to an outdoor antenna for the best possible connection I could muster. I couldn't find an off the shelf option available, all were outdated (no 5G capability or lacking bands) or were indoor wireless router combos (if I can't get this setup working, I might have to purchase one and configure/mod it for my purposes if one of those is a working option). And in my defense, I was able to get the modem up and running properly before moving and it did work well for a few months.

You have no v6 configuration on the LAN side at all. You need a static IP for the router and a DHCPv6 server at minimum.

Still feeling like crap from the flu, but I did make a bit of progress today. I messed around a bit with the DHCP servers, made no progress, and decided to reset my RBM11G configuration and start from scratch. I did my basic configuration, minus DHCP servers and IP Pools. I did the usual srcnat masquerade rules under IPv4 NAT, and IPv6 NAT (don't know if this is needed), the TTL mangle rules (doesn't seem to exist under IPv6...), added cloudflare IPv6 DNS addresses, and then went to mess with the APN settings. Under APN, I set it to IPv6 and then changed the IPv6 interface to ether1 (vs lte1)... and under windows the adapter did pickup the RMB11G as the default IPv6 gateway and I now have IPv6-only internet at the moment. Definitely not the correct configuration yet, but at the very least it gives me some much needed hope and verifies the speculation of what my issue is.

Unrelated WTF, for a few minutes I lost said internet because it decided to pickup a tower 2000 miles away in the British Virgin Islands :? . Saw the red "no roaming allowed" text on my LTE interface and did a cellmapper search for the tower I was connected to. How on earth is that possible?

Hallelujah!

Now you just need to wrap your head around the IPIP and DHCPv6 stuff from the other threads to get IPv4 working.

And when you’re done, you can sell preconfigured T-Mobile routers to your social circle.

IPv6 NAT (don't know if this is needed)

It shouldn't be. Your router's DHCPv6 client should be set for "request=address,prefix". The prefix request should yield a big fat /64 or similar, giving you enough IPs for an Internet’s worth of Internets in your house.

Should be enough. 😉

Soooo... I got IPv4 working. Just an idea that suddenly popped into my head. Apparently it was as simple as changing IP type to IPv4 in APN settings. My original configuration was set to auto, and I guess my internet had stopped working because auto had simply started choosing IPv6 instead of IPv4.

I'm terribly sorry to all those that helped me that it was such an face palmingly simple fix. At the very least I learned quite bit through this process...

I still plan on getting IPv6 working at some point to get rid of the whole double NAT on game consoles issue, but only after the TTL firewall mangle rules are implemented for IPv6.

DoH and DoT are not the same. DoT is a encrypted version of DNS resolv requests. In the Netherlands, the Dutch government enforces a EU decrete, that all ISP filter certain results.

The Dutch coalition FOIC is making news with requesting a ruling by the European court

FOIC, a coalition of internet service providers and internet and press freedom organisations, requests a ruling on the blockade of RT and Sputnik

A coalition of internet service providers, as well as internet and press freedom organisations, will petition the European court to rule on the legality of the EU-wide blockade of Russian state channels RT and Sputnik (and others). On May 24, FOIC will file a petition with the European Court in Luxembourg.

Hello,

I have a Mikrotik Chateau 5G. It has a Quectel RG502Q-EA modem. I'm trying to use T-Mobile but no matter what I do I can't get an IPV4 address. I do get an IPV6 address, but since it's a /64 address it's of limited use to me.

APN used: Fast.t-mobile.com

Could you please post your config if possible?

Thanks very much!
