Hi, I have bought used Mikrotik wAP R ac for a good price. The seller didnt give me webfig/winbox credentials, neither Wireless network password. I have tried factory reset with reset button, but it seems it is not resetting. I have also tried netinstall, but netinstall app doesn't see the router. W...

If logging is activated on the firewall (drop) rule you might get an indication of the cause of not working.

I have nothing regarding firewall in logs. Should it be enabled somehow?

What does "breaks everything" mean to you? Does your phone use the same DNS server as the Windows machine? In regards to your remark about the firewall rules...if logging is activated on the firewall (drop) rule you might get an indication of the cause of not working. Breaks everything = ...

Follow the link I posted before, then it will work. And consider moving the wireguard firewall filter rule below the Drop invalid rule. I finally managed to get it up and running externally but when I'm in the local network, activating wireguard breaks everything. Perhaps I missed some firewall rul...

Do you have a Wireguard enabled? Yes, wireguard interface should be enabled. Is it working locally (next step should be port check)? Actually I'm doing this remotely, since I'm not at home currently. Hopefully I will check it today. Better share your current config (screenshots are unnecessary): My...

To answer the Wireguard question: you will have to add an accept rule for that port to the "input" filter rules, not put a dst-nat in the NAT rules.

I have created new rule, but it seems it doesnt work. It is on 2nd position (from top).

If you follow the guide (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WireGuard#WireGuard-Applicationexamples), you would have known there is no port forward involved. Forwarding means, forward traffic to other device. I assume you want to run a Wireguard server on your MikroTik? Actually I followed ...

So, after a few days I have now public IP. Now my port forwarding rules are working and currently I would like to deploy WireGuard VPN server. I should have everything setup, except it is not working, assuming because my port to WireGuard is closed. How to open port to the router itself without forw...

Select any random port # on the WAN side and then redirect it to 3389 in DST rule to make bots/scanner life harder

What does it mean "Select random port # on the WAN side?" Any example?
Redirecting means forwarding by DST-NAT rule, right?

That is why you need your own public IP in such situations.

I have already requested my ISP for public IP.

You DON'T WANT to open RDP to your server...

I understand the risk, opening RDP port is for short period of time to test remote connection and to learn port opening, later I will deploy VPN server.

you need to forward this port on the router between your MTK and internet

What does it mean? Do I need to contact my ISP or where can I forward the port between my router and internet?

Hi Guys, I'm trying to open port for remote desktop connection (RDP) to my home server, I went through a lot of guides, but I just cannot to get it work. I have MT hEX as my gateway router, I use DDNS and I'm testing open port by yougetsignal.com , where I test Remote address = myDDNS address, port ...

the easiest way is to let DHCP server set a dynamic lease to client. Then you can use GUI to set the lease static (select lease and click "make static"). Actually, this procedure is exactly what I did, but it doesn't work as I would expect. Somehow there is another lease bound and my stat...

Hello, my router (MT hEX) does not assign IP address to my two Windows computers by DHCP server ( neither automatically or by setting static lease ). I recently upgraded the network cards from 1Gbps to 2.5Gbps in both computers, since then I have to set the IP address manually on both computers. The...

Hi Guys, I have an idea which I'd like to implement on my home network. See my signature to know what HW I'm using. Idea: Multiple networks for different types of client devices. Example: network for computers, network for audio-video devices, network for printers, network for smartphones/tablets, h...

Hello, I'm running hEX router as my Gataway with wAP ac as AP for wireless network. wAP is managed by CAPsMAN on hEx. On wAP there are running 2 wireless networks with the same SSID and security - one 2.4GHz and second 5GHz. I'm just wondering if it is possible to distinguish those wireless networks...
