MikroTik RBwAP2nD (wAP) Outdoor

Thu Aug 04, 2022 7:50 pm

I have a SXT LTEkit - 4G linked back to a hAP ac Lite: Router and forward to a MikroTik RBwAP2nD (wAP) Outdoor. The hAP has internet access via ADSL MODEM which is not getting through to the Outdoor wAP..
I can't raise the Outdoor wAP via web browser or winBox.
The LTE-MODEM interface list shows the Outdoor wAP but with no traffic flowing.
The hAP Router interface list shows traffic on ethr3>5 which I think is the ADSL being available to LTE MODEM on "5-PoE OUT".
I have no doubt that I have failed to include a firewall instruction or similar that's stopping the Internet being made available to the Outdoor WAP, so advice would be appreciated

It would help IMMENSELY if you, instead of posting some non-relevant screenshots, provided us the export of your config.
Ideally of all related devices.
A small diagram (can be a sketch on paper) will also help to understand how things are connected.
And a more clear description of what you want to do.
From what I can already see you have both SXT and ADSL modem for internet access ? Both connected to hap ac ?
And it's only traffic from SXT which should go from/to wAP ?
Just curious, why ?

/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish
Review export for remaining sensitive info (serial number, public IP, keys, ...) and post between [code] quotes.
Each device separate please.


BTW that first screenshot is from which device ? ANCIENT version of ROS ... why not use latest stable (6.49.6) or long term release (6.48.4) ?
Second screenshot: less ancient but also overdue for upgrade, I think.

Holvoe is bang on!

1. Update firmware to 6.49.6 if staying with ver6, 7.4 if going to vers7.

2. Provide a network diagram what devices are connected to the port, and what subnets are flowing through the ports on the router and where is the internet coming from.

3. Need to see full config /export hide-sensitive file=anynameyouwish
Just ensure that you put in fake numbers for any WANIP or WAN gateway IP info.

Thanks for the replies.
Can't currently auto-update Router OS due to the dreaded DNS error message, and the manual upgrade fails on a lack of knowledge as to which file to download.
The reason for ADSL is the sharp increase in Mobile Contract price at end of the initial contract & EE's apparent lack of interest in supporting a MODEM they didn't supply (SXT LTEkit), so back to ADSL (as we have to keep POTs anyway due to rural location and lack of mobile signal in buildings and the MODEM/Router had been retained as main network hub & DNS Server).
Mikrotik equipment was provided under a "Rural Broadband" initiative but the installer subsequently "left the business", so the lack of support from EE was the final nail in the coffin.
At the time of installation, I had the wAP 4G LTE - RBwAP2nD outside the contract as local topography & ancient building design severely restrict Wifi cover. It seemed to work when the installer left but has definitely failed to communicate with ADSL since its return to copper connectivity.
No RouterOS documentation was left by installer, so switching back to ADSL MODEM has been hit & miss - mostly the latter, but I've now worked out how to dump the hAP & MODEM config files & drawn a network diagram.
Hope the attached gives clues as to why the Mikrotik side won't talk politely to the local network
