Thanks for the recommendations! I didn't even look at the Chateau line because well, "home all in one box" and relatively large box at that. Kind of funny how it's ready for external antennas straight from factory, while the more rugged stuff is not. It's not the worst choice cost wise, CP...

Hi... just trying to verify I'm not missing anything obvious. The Mikrotik Way(tm) is to mount the whole active device (wAP-LTE, ltAP, LHGG, etc) outdoors, and none of the pre-built models have the option of connecting external "dumb" antennas, right? The only way to have the option of &qu...

Speaking for myself as a mid-power-user with RB4011 bought as an all-in-one for home, keep in mind the CPU is really beefy. You can and should do vlans and stuff in software, no problem. It's meant to handle that quite easily up to reasonable home / small office levels. WAN-to-LAN and WIFI-to-wired ...

Because the Qualcomm system-on-a-chip designs used for many MT products which hardware limit of max 16 MB SPI flash.
This is also the reason some products have the bizarre combination of fast wireless and 100Mbit ethernet ports - QCA decided to embed a 100Mb switch into the SoC.

Re: 1) - according to this, the revised models have "/R2" at end of serial number:

Eeyup, there's been plenty models of e.g. tplink AC routers with 100Mb ports because that's what Qualcomm in its infinite genius put in the chipset... another fantastic thing is how many models of SoCs have a max supported size of SPI flash limited to 16MB, which is primary reason many MT devices ha...

Hi. TL;DR: won't work. The "12V" mention on the Hikvision camera refers to its external power connector only. It uses "standard PoE" (802.3af) for powering via ethernet cable. This runs on 48V and comes with a complex negotiation dance that must be supported by smart-PoE chips in...

Hi!

Is that
/interface wireless set wlan1 frame-lifetime=10

Because "0.01" gets rounded down to 0, while "10ms" complains about invalid characters.

And for a little update, I came back home after a few weeks and 5GHz is down.
Happened at around 24 days of uptime. (Still on 6.44.5).

wrkq

Glad you did not restore backup from different model. That would totally mess up the device. If you have the time, use NETINSTALL to reset RouterOS on the X4 (it will erase the disk and install clean system, without any weird things that might remain in there "hidden"). Then try to test it...

wrkq

A loop between two 1Gbps ports cannot make the statistic show 30+Gbps on the physical interface... this is either some massive software bug or hardware issue... Big question. You said you replaced an older X2 with the X4. But did you configure it fresh or try to copy config from the X2? If copy, did...

wrkq

No, you don't need specifically single-stream/single-chain adapter. Just adapter capable of using 80MHz channels (so 802.11ac). 160MHz would be even more future-proof. If you will buy a 4-stream monster powerful adapter with AC speeds, (advertising "up to 1500 Mbps" on the box for exampe) ...

wrkq

Oh. Hm. Well, I have a bit of bad news. TL;DR: Your Intel card can do "1x150" or "2x150" on 2.4 GHz or on 5GHz all the same. Your Mikrotik on 2.4GHz can do "1x150", "2x150". Your Mikrotik on 5GHz can do "1x150", "1x300", "1x433". ...

wrkq

Hm. The 7265 card is two-chain on both frequencies, but while the RB is two-chain on 2.4, only single-chain on 5.0. So sounds like you're stuck on a single-width channel right now, but should be able to bump up to double-width to get around 300. (Or quad-width for 433 but that's harder.) Please post...

wrkq

The PWR-LINE-PRO variant promises "up to 600 Mbps".
Of course, we all know "up to" speeds require ideal circumstances but fair chance it'd go quite a bit above 100Mbps.

wrkq

Hi. I'm afraid you guys may have a small confusion here. The wAP LTE is a wifi access point for local devices (laptops etc) which uses LTE modem with sim card as "source of the internet". That's a bit (although not fully) within the area of what the OP Krzysztof is looking for. But I belie...

I am running RB4011/Wifi since about three months, as a result of a series of unfortunate events. * It seemed quite attractive as an all-in-one home+homelab device. I can confirm the "5GHz wifi dying after some days/weeks of uptime" issue exists. But recently - after moving from 6.44.3 to ...

wrkq

Good luck, hope you'll like it!
(And well, over here I think I'd need to have like 750 download to get 100 upload, thus the surprise. :p)

wrkq

Seriously 250/100? That's a bit unusual proportion, was there a typo? But if these are correct numbers, and if having the wifi AP and the router as a single device is feasible in your home, take a look at the hAP AC2. https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 It has a quadcore ARM CPU so it should handle...

Hi. hEX has 5 ethernet ports, marked on the outside as "Internet/2/3/4/5". Default config follows this - ether1 is configured as separate interface that is meant for WAN/Internet access, ether2-5 are a bridge for LAN devices (so each LAN device can talk to each other). Enabling the "b...

Well, uh. There is /system ntp client print but seems it's lacking the where-clause if you'd want only some of the fields or do parsing, hm. You can try doing /system logging add topics=ntp action=memory The default logging settings are "any component, levels info/error/warning/critical". ...

Look. It's a very high-power CPU and gigabit ethernet RJ45 ports, both sources of significant heat.
They're packaged in a fan-less form with the whole case working as the heatsink. It's warm by design.
Don't panic. The data sheet says the acceptable operating range is -40C to +70C.

wrkq

Woot! Congrats on resolving it - and well, you know, the only IT tech who never broke something is one who never really did any work. :) If you'll ever have a chance to get one of these as a "lab", play with them to get more familiar with the various setups. The nice thing about RouterOS i...

wrkq

Uh, wait. You said you wanted to use it as an AP only.
Then you should have no WAN interface at all, it should be just bridging (wifi is LAN, ethernet is LAN)... right?
Or am I missing something?

wrkq

Honestly, seeing some other support posts around here, it's a pleasure to work with you - even if you're not familiar with some things, you're patient and very keen to understand. Not just "no worky, give me magic spells to fix!". That said, mega bummer with the mismatched cable. Sorry you...

and yes, the CRS312 is in stock now with most retailers on my home market as the local Mikrotik distributor is very active.

Now that's super cool to know, thanks! Hope the dealer over here will get them soon...

wrkq

No, you can't. The port has RJ45 shape (technically "8P8C shape" because RJ45 is a telecom wiring standard for phone cables, just the name got stuck in common speak). But the electrical signals on it are not Ethernet, they are RS232. If you plug it into a network interface in a PC or a swi...

wrkq

Yes, the limit-at option. A very basic setup on a "blank" config with no existing queues or mangle rules might look something like this (do not use this blindly, just as example): /ip firewall filter print where action="fasttrack-connection" ;;; note the rules printed, and if mor...

wrkq

If your device has an RJ45 serial port, you need a cable with RJ45 plug on one end, and 9-pin serial port plug on the other. If you ask around for a "Cisco serial cable" or generally "RJ45 to serial cable" you can find one easily - just about everyone in the networking business f...

wrkq

Yeah, your best bet would be something like CRS112 (which does both the "budget" passive-POE and "true" 802.11af/at PoE/PoE+ as cameras would require) plus a separate wireless unit. If you really need only 11n @ 2.4 there's plenty to choose from, although the smallest/cheapest (h...

Hey. Serial port is direct access, any IP settings etc, don't matter. If you connect your PC to serial port, open serial terminal at the right speed (usually 115200 but not on all models), and press enter in the terminal, you will see a RouterOS username prompt immediately. It is possible to disable...

wrkq

Yes, you can build a queue tree with the minimum guaranteed bandwidth option and mark the flows on the basis of the port. Mind, you will have to disable fasttrack so on weaker hardware you may run into CPU performance bottleneck. But please provide some more details. What hardware model you use? Are...

Hi. Note that S+RJ10 in particular runs very hot, so you both shouldn't use it in all SFP slots in a switch, and avoid using them in fanless switches generally. See here https://mikrotik.com/product/s_rj10 (" S+RJ10 module is supported also on devices with passive cooling, but may require an ex...

Power outage counts as such (personally I don't think power outage should be the reason to switch over to backup partition).
