The reason for the topic, is so I could get so many wonderful replies. Didn't mean to create such a grouchy topic.

jacoblydon

I did my speech in Oral Communications on this link last semester!

jacoblydon

Okay thanks

jacoblydon

Will the client radios associate with the strongest signal?

jacoblydon

No, not really but. I have about 60 clients connected to an AP 433ah and 8602+S with 12dbi omni for broadcast. I have 3 120 degree 20 dbi sectors that I will be replacing the omni with. I want to hook up three separate router boards, RB433ah and seneo 8602+S. My question is should I name all of the ...

jacoblydon

Can someone tell me what the SP means next to the transmit rates, Thanks (attachment was to large, but does anyone know what I mean? RB333AH

jacoblydon

Seems like you have everything worked out, I ran into similar problems, and asked the forum, they said that the cpu usage is not accurate. I did try something interesting though. If you start with a virgin config and only access to the router board with cat5 and add cpu to the router board display. ...

jacoblydon

A simple queue on the client device works fine for us. Seems to be more steady on AP though. I find that the default queues are actually set low. example a 512kbX128kb I usually manually set 512 closer to 600k and 128 to about 190k. Don't know much about bandwidth shaping though.

jacoblydon

What frequency is your access point set to? make sure B/G, maybe the dlink etc. are legacy products and only support 802.11B?

jacoblydon

I want to connect two remote locations with a very secure connection, authentication method. Example= A bank in Houston wants a secure connection with a sister bank in Orlando via the Internet. I want to put a routerboard at one bank and a routerboard at the other bank and securely transfer data wit...

jacoblydon

Sergejs, thank you for your reply. Yes everything is the same on the client end and the Access Point. I have altered the default setting in security profiles. I have dynamic keys enabled, WPA PSK, WPA2 PSK are enabled, unicast is set to TKIP and group is set to TKIP, and I have the same security phr...

jacoblydon

I have just implemented WPA on our MIkroTik network. Everything went great except for one hotspot I have connected as a client of our main AP. The hotspot is setup as a point to point on one radio card and then an AP on the other wireless card. The users are setup as username and password clients. I...

jacoblydon

I wonder why it is even a option to use then. System-resources reflect the exact same output. How can I tell what kind of load my CPU is actually hitting? Is there no measure of this?

jacoblydon

Can someone help me with this? I just setup a RB133 board, I loaded the new 3.7 O.S. I enabled the wireless card to make sure that my new equipment works. I add CPU to the (task) bar at the top of the GUI 5%, 14%, then 100% about every 3-4 seconds. I disabled the wireless card to make sure that the ...

jacoblydon

Our MTU is 1500

jacoblydon

No thats not a stupid question sorry. 12meg download by 1.5meg upload connection from a cable Internet ISP

jacoblydon

I have downloaded netinstall.. I need to hook up serial cable to routerboard.. what are the other steps required to bypass bad passwords etc. and reload OS? I have never done one before. Thanks

jacoblydon

Thanks everyone for your input. I know someone will be able to help us through this.

jacoblydon

I'm more interested in the testing method. I think the only way hoe to test it 100% is to have heavy (many connections max traffic) p2p download: 1) directly to the laptop 2) thought router to the laptop Shouldn't a power router handle 12x 1.5 meg throughput with only one connection from cable modem...

jacoblydon

If you have multiple routers with static ip's connected to the same Mikrotik then you are probably running some type of load balancing algorithm? Does the routers have different public ip's assigned to them or do they have private ip's assigned on their ethernets? The Mikrotik clients and back hauls...

jacoblydon

I did try a cisco switch in between the modem and the power router... no change.

jacoblydon

yes the cable modems have statics built in to the modem, and they are running half duplex. The interfaces have been manually configured for full and half duplex with no apparent change to the timeouts or the bandwidth issues. Any one have any more ideas?

jacoblydon

I have a 12X1.5 meg suddenlink connection using Toshiba cable modem. We have tested the connection speed with a laptop and get our desired speeds. When we hook up a virgin power router with just an IP to communicate with modem on average we get 3-5meg x 1.4. Why the bottle neck? We put a rb532 inste...

jacoblydon

Yeah it works fine with new OS, It just sucked because, we had no idea when we were out in the field and had to pack up and couldn't finish the job until we checked the forum.

jacoblydon

You were right thanks, one other problem has anyone heard of losing passwords from upgrading the firmware to v2.9.50. I have access through my Dude, but I have no luck trying to access the device by any other means,telnet, mac-tel-winbox,etc

jacoblydon

U mm. I accidentally enabled Nstreme on a remote station. I have one DSL connection, and I serve it to a MK AP and one client links to it from about a block and a half down the side walk. I was upgrading the OS (from about 400 miles away), that took a while but, they did come around. I set Ntsreme o...

jacoblydon

thank you

jacoblydon

Ok thanks

jacoblydon

yeah I have heard of it too
I have downloaded the new version of Winbox. but it doesn't help. I haven't ever had the problem with other boards only RB333

jacoblydon

I need to push a 20meg fiber connection about 3 miles point to point. I haven't used N Streme yet. I will probably use 29 db solid dish with RB 532a or RB333 and 8602+S on both sides. Some suggestions?

jacoblydon

We have I guess the new Beta version RB333 power P.C router os boards. But when you try to access the new device through Winbox. It says that it cant find Roteros.dll. very annoying. I could only access through Neighbor viewer and possible serial port ( didn't try). I had to set IP to a local IP and...

jacoblydon

"extensive data loss" then it's either a flaky signal or there's something nearby interfering. I wasn't aware of that, thanks. And yes lots of linksys in the area etc.

jacoblydon

Check for "fake ap" someone might put to spoof your traffic.
Where?, like just do a scan and see if I can see another broadcast with same SSID as mine?

jacoblydon

but it seems to do the scan on it's own. I don't think it is loosing connection, just scanning for better signal, notice our main AP always satisfies strongest signal and is chosen.?

jacoblydon

Anyone else?

jacoblydon

This is a screen shot of my logs from my Mikrotik device, its obviosly scanning for best signal but, why? I have played around with (no radar detect) and it didn't seem to change results. I have a lot of devices that do this, is this periodic calibration? Thanks for the help p.s the SSID this device...

jacoblydon

Yeah I figured it out, I think I was just having connection problems to my AP thanks for the help.

jacoblydon

Sergejs, what is proper syntax for mac-telnet 00:00:00:00:00:

jacoblydon

I have seen this happen to me. What version O.S do you run. You may hate to hear this but, this sometimes means to me that router board is (flakey), is it new? Will traffic still route?

jacoblydon

I have seen (suspected) power spikes cause router boards various problems, ip address list not show up through winbox etc.

jacoblydon

I am quite sure that rb133c does not have license capabilities to run as AP. Rb133c is designed for client scenario . rb133 does support AP. It can't handle a lot of load, and lacks memory resources. It may work fine with a handful of clients though. Does this help you?

jacoblydon

I have two RB153's, I am trying to set up a static route between them using wireless cards with no luck. I have got one as an ap and the other as a station, and have a good connection. One of the routers will have my adsl on it and i want the other one to be able to access it. I have been searching ...

jacoblydon

Umm, are you setting Simple Queues on client device on AP? I have found that in my situation, I can get a more precise bandwidth control from AP side rather than client side. I usually have to manually set queues higher than the the default drop down list on Mikrotik O.S. example if I want customer ...

I meant any 3ghz frequency supported but, you answered my question. Thanks sergejs

jacoblydon

Main steps for setting up a basic & working hotspot are: Set a working DHCP: - add a pool with the desired IP range for DHCP. - add a dhcp -> network which match the pool settings. - add a dhcp -> server which uses the pool created, and bound to the interface which will host the hotspot. Test DH...

jacoblydon

It is fairly simple to run test and see which coverage is best for your location. Just set up as client and go for a drive. Start out from the base of the tower and drive showing signal the whole way. What wattage of cards do you use in AP?

jacoblydon

First of all how many clients are registered clients of yours. If you dont have any clients just disable the wireless card. Is this an option? Watch the registration find his MAC address, and make firewall rule to drop connection to that MAC. Let me know I will watch forum.

jacoblydon

Will the r52h card support 3.x frequency? Or do you know any athereos chipsets that will?

jacoblydon

You are welcome!

jacoblydon

Thanks for the advice, anyone else?

All the Ethernet is in one bundle tie wrapped to the leg. I will have intermitted ping times and start to drop packets. ...

jacoblydon

No problemo

jacoblydon

That is definitly correct, just make sure you copy your regiseterd users from registration then uncheck default authenticate. Make sure everyone reconnects. I did have one rb532 that this function will not work on, had to change out board.

jacoblydon

Always check physical first. Sometimes thats all it is. is your card grounded? or board? Maybe this doesnt help

jacoblydon

What wattage of mpci cards?

jacoblydon

Has anyone tried new circular polorazation antennea? Works well

jacoblydon

I think user manager will do this. Mikrotik download

jacoblydon

Silly question but, you arer using crossover cable between 2 like devices right?

jacoblydon

Must set both devices on either side in alignment mode to work, set one got to other end and listen for the beep to get stronger as signal gets better.

jacoblydon

I dont know if this will help your situation. This is what i do. Use defualt authenticate. Say you have 10 clients registered, right click on their registration and copy to access list. Once you have done this uncheck the default authenticate and apply make sure to check registartion and make sure a...

What is perodic calibration, and why should it be used, or not be used.

jacoblydon

I am trying to investigate some features on the interface-wireless-advanced page on winbox. Can someone tell me the functions of the following.. Ack-timeout, perodic calibration, and disconnect timeout. I am interested in knowing what these features can do for me. Any suggestions?

jacoblydon

Hi Normis

What is the R52H card you referred to? Is it an upgrade to the normal R52 cards? I haven't seen anything on them at routerboard.com.

Re, G
http://routerboard.com/prices.html#permlink29
it's a high power card

R52H is a 350 milliwatt card vs the previous model with only 65 milliwatt.

jacoblydon

Is it a bad idea to run a back haul and an AP on the same router board?The wireless card for back haul is a XR5, the AP is R52H, and Rb532a. Some people believe its better to have two separate dedicated devices. Any suggestions?

jacoblydon

Thanks, danielillu

What is the easist config for hotspot? I am just trying to set up a simple hotspot for simulation purposes. I believe my main problem is in the pool settings. Can someone help?
