I feel like things like this are already understood and in their backlog... it's an unfinished beta. :-) oh .. there isn't an "open dialog" that I can find. (or a save dialog) I had to copy my network stored addresses.cbd to C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\MikroTik\WinBox That sucks a ...

goodbye

Congrats normis and colleagues!
Wonderful milestone and looks great for a beta so far!

This is a big day for us and hopefully for you too.

WinBox 4 is finally here, for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Hello! Have we anyone here with experience with doing remote diagnostic monitoring and logging of automotive 12V and/or 24V DC power systems? Example scenario: Winter-weather equipment battery power status monitoring during the off-seasons. I feel like this is an ideal scenario for LoRaWAN-connected...

goodbye

Just checking in... MDC still "cancelled" with no whisper of any viable replacement/work for Dude either (since it hasn't been touched since 6.42 and Mikrotik decided to actively not migrate the wiki content for it to the new help site)? I'm so heavily invested in Mikrotik, but I feel like...

goodbye

Yeah, RAM and CPU are mostly meaningless for a switch, it's just for management purposes. The big question is if the switch chip is stable or if it has problems like the other CRS models. I support a CRS312 that has 64 MB with L3 HW Offload. The switch reboots every 2 weeks when Memory gets maxed o...

goodbye

Hello! Has anyone experienced bad-ports from the factory? I have one port on one of two freshly-out-of-the-boxes CRS310-8G+2S+ switches that absolutely won't maintain a link at 2.5G on ether5. That port seems happy-ish at 1G, but the same systems/NICs have no problem linking and being happy at 2.5G ...

I attempted to update two CSS106-5G-1S switches from 2.13. The first took it without any issue, as expected. The second consistently dies after clicking the upgrade button and must be power cycled to "get it back". After it comes back up, and it takes several seconds to come back; it's ba...

goodbye

Avoid WPA3 for ssid connecting to IoT stuff. If needed setup a virtual ssid only for that. This, 100%, right here. Soooo many things that you'd never expect have all sorts of "quirks"/issues with WPA3... even the latest intel wireless chipsets/drivers for laptops. WPA3 is a wonderful secu...

goodbye

Everyone talking about 60GHz, even just the basic Wireless Wire kit for this distance, are absolutely right in line for "what I would do", however, it deserves to be mentioned that this could be frustrating/problematic if there would be anything between the two antennas. 60GHz, while wonde...

goodbye

As a follow up, I disabled the POE feed and temporarily used its wall-wart as the power source to see if that made a difference, for science.
I didn't expect it to, and my expectations were quite met.
It still refuses to upgrade and sits there like a brick until it's power cycled.

Please make dynamic vlan assignment possible for wifi-qcom-ac wireless driver This, a trillion times, this. Also, make the vAPs for secondary SSIDs auto-populate and map on local bridges correctly. There really should be "configuration parity" between wifi-qcom-ac and wifi-qcom. Configuri...

Try this at a windows command prompt it should show you. netsh wlan show drivers That's actually gives a lot of insight, and definitely shows Intel's shenanigans.

Hello @goodbye, Yes it's a known behaviour, see here https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-SecurityProperties , look at encryption part, there is a special remark for intel cards. Best regards, Thanks! But this chip with the latest drivers (or, really, drivers from last year) should ...

From my recent experiments and analysis, the answer is "no" for basic role-based separation using User Manager. User Manager seems to only be useful for some WISPs and, otherwise, very simple setups. While it can send many different attributes based on profiles and groups, it doesn't seem ...

goodbye

Hi! Just wanted to check... has anyone else noticed problems getting Windows devices with Intel NICs working with WPA3 & GCMP 256? Intel's product brief for the NICs indicate that they are compatible with WPA3, 128-bit CCMP, and 256-bit GCMP. However, only 128-bit CCMP seems to actually work. Th...

Hiya! A bit of background to help understand where I'm coming from with this post, I've installed and operated legacy wireless/CAPSMAN, with multiple vlans/SSIDs, deployments for many years; this is has been my first real foray into wifiwave2->7.13+wifi. It has been quite the experience to say the l...

goodbye

Hello! I'm wondering if there's a good download interface for Mikrotik software/packages that is not http-based, and thus really convenient to script package repository synchronization for offline use and such? I know that we can programmatically scrape and parse https://mikrotik.com/download/archiv...

goodbye

Hello!

Really hoping that Spectral Scan functionality is coming at some point to 5G/ac/ax interfaces at some point. Is this in the backlog somewhere or should we worry about procuring a separate capability?

Thanks!

Friendly *bump*! I'm sorry, HWMP+ feels like it's been abandoned/forgotten. I wish it hasn't... It'd be great to have something better-in-all-the-ways than the STP family to make interconnecting switches, well, better. SPB and TRILL are definitely things with other vendors... they just make sense......

goodbye

I can see why they cut all corners to reach $99, but many had found it more useful if it would run RouterOS. the closest option is https://mikrotik.com/product/crs326_24g_2s_in is CRS 326 without rackmount enclosure cheaper than CRS 210 and only 85mm wider I do hear you! Still, that "only 85mm...

Hey @normis!

It'd be super awesome and such if you were to reply/acknowledge the USB2 port issue. :-)

Thank you!

goodbye

Just as a data point, if you're using the original wAP AC (not the new version that released a couple of months ago-ish) then you have zero hardware crypto acceleration. With the old version (which I have 5 of); if/when you get it to "work", it will not be fast. You have a single meager MI...

I'm on a desktop now with the hyperv network stack installed for native os vlan bridging to various virtual interfaces. VMware Workstation is installed, and binds to the same virutal nics.

goodbye

"Best AP 2021" has to go to the wifi version of the RB4011. Those things are fantastic. Quad-chain AC (4x4), and Wave 2 AC with ROS7. I don't believe the hAP AC will be able to support Wave2 as it has a much older radio. hAP AC2 and AC3 are arguably the same hardware, except the AC3 has ex...

goodbye

Hello, and thank you for reading! Since I can't get a Chateau 5G appropriate for the US bands, I kind of rolled my own with a Quectel RM502q-AE via external m.2-to-USB3 enclosure to a RB3011 (the one and only RouterBoard with a USB3 interface, and I happened to have one on the shelf). It's been a bi...

goodbye

That was a lot of words that boil down to "I don't agree with the laws so I choose to ignore them." The firmware frequency/power locks requirement went into effect a bit over 5 years ago, so this is not a rule from the 60s being applied to the internet kind of thing. It's been a very real ...

goodbye

Your idea would absolutely work for the standard/international version of the hardware! This inflexibility is a regulatory restriction that caused Mikrotik to have to ship a completely separate version of every device: the standard models that are completely configurable to the limits of the actual...

goodbye

Thanks for the idea! Unfortunately, this doesn't work with US models due to the FCC-mandated firmware lock to only regulation-compliant frequencies. As such, until Mikrotik releases updates, RouterOS won't let us use any frequencies that aren't explicitly permitted in our region. Your idea would abs...

goodbye

Hello! UNII-4 spectrum 5835-5895 was authorized for unrestricted indoor use without DFS/TPC in the USA on 18NOV2020. As I understand it, in this case, Mikrotik just needs to add those frequencies/channels to the "United States" and "United States 3" Regulatory Domain definitions....

goodbye

Hello!

Is there availability guestimate for when a US-compatible Chateau 5G may be purchaseable?

Based off of the existing pulished part number and the modem compatibility document, I believe the part number we'd be looking for is this:
RBD53G-5HacD2HnD-TC&RM502Q-AE

Thank you!

goodbye

Need a modern, secure-able 8-ish port desktop-able switch; ideally with one or two SFP+ ports; and CRS300-series switch-chip functionality. A CRS610 would be ideal if that's feasible! SwOS is a non-starter, need RouterOS!

Thank you for reading!

goodbye

It's been 84 years... Have been waiting for long-term 6.47.X to release, so I could upgrade to it directly from stable 6.46.5 on RB760iGS and cAP AC, given how poor a lot of recent stable 6.47.X (and .48, oh man, oh god) releases were received. But, generally speaking, is it a good idea (meaning &q...

goodbye

Thank you for promoting 6.47 to long term - had a lot of success with this release stream - has given me an opportunity to easily rollback/forward between 6.48.x while work continues - safe and easy fallback to 6.47 :-)

Totally concur!
Thank you!

RouterOS / Dude 6.47.6. (6.47.7 is on hold due to lack of local justification from the change log contents.) I'm seeing a client freeze pretty hard when trying to view charts all of the sudden tonight. I don't immediately see any other interfaces having this issue, but charts for latency monitoring ...

goodbye

The CSS610 is SwOS only and doesn't cut it as a result; need the ability to secure the device properly and manage software updates and such centrally from The Dude.
Give us a CRS610 with CRS3XX-or-better switch chip functionality/integration from RouterOS, and you all can take our money!

goodbye

*bump* Can anyone at least confirm that they have HWMPplus in production and/or at least functional somewhere? I just deployed a WDS without it; I'd really like to have better redundancy and link utilization but don't really have the time to focus on "science-ing" if it's a long bumpy road...

goodbye

Hello! I'm working on my first fully dynamic WDS deployment. I wanted to get a wired-mesh working as a demonstration prior to moving to wds w/ hwmpplus, under the theory that "if i can't get it to work over a wire then it's not going to work over wireless and it'll be twice as complicated to tr...

Hello!

I need VLANs along with HWMPplus.
Do VLANs ride inside HWMPplus frames, or does HWMPplus ride inside 802.1q frames?

Thanks!

goodbye

Really exciting things! I can't use SwitchOS in the real world; I can't get away with http-without-the-s and the single shared admin account in the places I support, so I can't wait for a C R S610-8G-2S+IN version. For bonus points, C R S610-8 P -2S+IN! Heck, I'll buy one of the CRS POE versions jus...

+1, this would help potential US consumers

It will also help existing customers be sure of what their hardware should be supporting... :-)

goodbye

Hello Mikrotik! It would be helpful to have a maintained manual page or a sticky here in the forum tracking devices for which UNII-2 support has been enabled in the US, along with the minimum RouterOS versions required for that support per-device. I know that you all have had several devices certifi...

You are also in the 5 GHz world. There are some pitfalls, like the mandatory 1 minute or even 10 minutes radar test period for DFS frequencies. 5 GHz will be totally dead for that time, with interface enabled.. This is not Mikrotik specific, but a mandatory requirement for all wifi equipment sold. ...

Hi! I know that there's been some progress with certain other components of RouterOS as far as supporting TLS 1.2 and giving the ability to disable older protocols but I found a component that it's not yet done with and it's preventing the close-out of security/compliance issues. Specifically, the W...
