Re: 2 WANs, switching when there's no Internet

usually, you need to make script for this purpose, but there's easy trick to perform this based on your setup without script. first, modify the routes /ip route add gateway=192.168.1.1 distance=10 comment="ISP1" add gateway=192.168.2.1 distance=20 comment="ISP2' then assign routes to ...

Re: CAP Lite as independent access point [SOLVED]

since your cap lite has been controlled by capsman, all you need to do is just to disable capsman manage on your wireless interface. here the simple steps: login to your cap lite using winbox or webfig. go to wireless menu. click on "CAP" button. uncheck "Enabled" option and clic...

Re: capsman keep WiFi up when capsman unavailable?

the reason why other vendor can put their controller on the cloud and let the access point run when having loss connection with the controller is because all the wifi functions (like channel selection, authentication, acl filter etc) is done on the access point, the controller function just like pro...

Re: hAP ac^2: Q on passwords and wireless speed

imho, quickset is only for making initial configuration only, not for modify running config since it will overwrite all other settings with default. usually i use quickset on fresh new device on factory default setting, after that never touch quickset again on that device. use webfig or winbox to co...

Re: CAPsMAN with VLAN not working properly

yes, device with multiple switch chip like 4011 and 1100ah4x may cause headache also. i guess it's better to use layer 3 switch if wirespeed is needed, router only for wan & outgoing traffic only.

still miss the old days way when routeros still support master/slave port :D

Re: Routed subnet along side private IP addresses

assumed the ip subnet of 69.174.131.176/29 is routed to 69.174.129.202 by your isp. in that case, you can try to put all the server in your lan subnet, use ip private address of 10.0.1.x/24 with default gateway of 10.0.1.1 then, make a port forward/reverse nat on the mikrotik firewall, for example: ...

Re: CAPsMAN with VLAN not working properly

i used that method on 1100 and 4011 since the cpu is strong enough to handle the traffic, but on 750 or 951 it bang the cpu to 100% on lan traffic since no hardware offload can be enabled. the trick i made maybe not a best practice but at least it can let hardware offload enabled on the primary brid...

since you're using "bridge company" as trunk port, all the vlan must be set on it, like this: /interface vlan add interface="bridge company" name="VLAN company" vlan-id=8 add interface="bridge company" name="VLAN company host" vlan-id=10 Correct. th...

Re: Routed subnet along side private IP addresses

check your config below: add address=69.174.131.176/29 interface=bridge1-lan network=69.174.131.176 you assigned the same ip address & network address, this may cause issues. set different ip address like 69.174.131.177/29 for example. on all devices that use this subnet, set 69.174.131.177 as d...

Re: mangle question

the one reason you need to split traffic classification like this is for assigning different priority in qos/queue, like to set smaller bytes get higher priority over higher bytes. usually you do this to separate browsing traffic & download traffic. if you do not need to change priority between ...

if i were you, i'll go with option 3 with slightly modification: using rb4011gs+rm (plain one without wifi) and 3 hap ac² behind the tv configured as access point only. it has 4 lan ports, so enough for all devices in the that location. if you still need more lan port, a $20 tplink or d-link unmanag...

Re: CAPsMAN with VLAN not working properly

since you're using capsman forwarding and it works on your wifi clients, i think your capsman config is correct, the issue is not on the capsman but on the vlan passing between bridges. on your config: /interface vlan add interface="bridge company" name="VLAN company" vlan-id=8 a...

for CAPsMAN forwarding to works, you should make an internet-able bridge on your CAPsMAN controller first. use this simple steps: create a bridge with no STP. assign ip address to the bridge, create dhcp server for the bridge if needed and other settings that required for any ip on the bridge can ac...
