What exactly are you trying to achieve with VPLS? I have the Hotspot interface in a VLAN on the bridge on the core / BNG router with the bridge on the remote CAPs (with CAPsMAn local forwarding) tunneled over VPLS to the hotspot interface bridge on the core / BNG router. You may find these two MUM p...

Here are a few resources to get you started on prioritising VOIP traffic on your router/network: (1)VoIP Problems and How to Correct Them: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnX6Im8GlJw Presentation: https://mum.mikrotik.com//presentations/US16/presentation_3004_1462512668.pdf Source: https://mu...

Just to add to the answers from @bpwl and @erlinden: (1) from a quick review of your config, I'd suggest you change "local-forwarding=no" from no to yes to eleminate one potential source of the slowing-down problem. Does the CPU load on the CAPSMAN router/controller jump up during the slow...

Many thanks for your great unboxing videos, and particularly the English subtitles. Thanks too for the education on the chipset in the AX device. I suppose Mikrotik would use the more pro versions of the chipsets in the upcoming outdoor AX devices. Errmm, but next time use champagne flutes to toast ...

Why people have the urge to rush and try to sound smart, instead of read carefully the post and try to help?

Not trying to sound smart at all, only tryng to help by sharing what has worked in my case. My apologies if it came accros that way. I'd be happy to retract the post, if that would help.

My humble dumbass two cents: If the provider's router is not a Mikrotik and you don't have access to it for configuration changes, I'd suggest you get a Mikrotik router (perhaps either a hEX PoE or a hEX S + a PoE switch if you're a broke cheapo like me) between your internal network currently compr...

For added security, you may want to enable "Add ARP for Leases" for the DHCP server and the interface ARP setting to "reply-only".

Ref.: Add ARP for leases, what does it do?

any tutorial for this ? how to setup hex as capsman ?

See this 'official' Mikrotik video tutorial on CAPsMAN: MikroTips: managing many access points with CAPsMAN

Yes, I guessed that this was the cause of the error, but I don't think it solves the problem if I simply use https instead of http. Does the ajax endpoint have to set a certificate before? Well, obviously HTTPS requires an SSL certificate. My assumption was that you had a valid CA-issued certificat...

Thank you for your help, maybe I have solved the jquery problem, but I got a mixed content problem. Mixed Content: The page at 'https://hotspot.dunaauto.hu/login?dst=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.msftconnecttest.com%2Fredirect' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://195...

I need an advice for which wireless devices to use for Public hotspot wifi for phones, that as much coverage as possible, approximately 500 clients will be connected, and each client will use 2Mbit/s, I'm planning to use mainly 2.4Ghz devices Just off the top of my head, a couple of pointers you’d ...

Something interesting that appeared in my Twitter feed:

Thanks for the pointers guys, unfortunately the problem was somewhere else.. Great you've solved it! If I may add, from my previous previous life as an e-mail sys admin, we found MS Exchange to be very chatty and didn't work too well over slow links. It would work great over LAN links if the client...

The max-station-count setting (Maximum number of associated clients.) of 2007 for a WiFi interface must be a theoretical limit. See this 2013 response from Janisk, Mikrotik Support, to a similar question on the forum: max-station-count is one thing, another is - how many clients can connect, and AP ...

CAPsMAN on RouterOS 6.4x working well for me for two+ years now with four different types of Mikrotik APs after my initial challenges setting it up. Once you get the hang of it, it's somewhat smooth sailing. I haven't been brave enough to try it on RouterOS 7.x, yet, though. My tips from my little e...

Okay, I'll try out the different protocols, and assess performance.
Many thanks for sharing your experience.

However nv2 will just ignore that, as it is not a "clear-channel-listener waiting it's chances before talking". nv2 will just talk (at least that is what I read about nv2 [*]) , and will have to cope with interference, but that should be no problem with those low levels. [*] from the wiki...

While we are discussing Winbox issues and improvements, it would be great to have the capability to (i) minimise the side bar to just the icons and (ii) expand to the icons + descriptive text, just like these left-hand sidebar examples from the new Chrome-based Windows Edge browser (also just like h...

"feature wishlist" for future. While we are discussing CAPSMAN and a "feature wishlist" for future, could you also consider getting Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint Wi-Fi Alliance) to work with/under CAPSMAN (ref. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=105412#p524870). For us public H...

Finally, better antennas + reflectors: exactly what I had been cracking my head on how to mod a cAP AC to be. Looking forward to a wAP AC XL too with similar 'internals' and antenna reflectors to focusing send/receive signals forward (not omni!) for when one installs them on building walls. I'll hol...

Check if the RouterBoard 'Current firmware' matches the RouterOS version on the access point(s). The wireless connection on two APs became terribly unstable after a recent RouterOS upgrade I did to the latest version. The connection stability improved after I upgraded the firmware as well. Perhaps M...

I'm in a similar dilemma finding a capable outdoor Wi-Fi AP and fearful of the potential waterproofing damage long-term from having the top cover off a Netmetal or a Basebox to mount antennas. It may be simpler to consider the wAP R ac based LTE/4G access points for your outdoor application (this is...

+1 for WiFi6 Should we expect to see a wAP ac2 soon with WiFi6 or alternatively specs similar to Audience and with higher gain antennas – 3.5 - 4.5dbi for 2.4Ghz and 4.5dbi for the 4x4 5.8Ghz with similar or better receive sensitivities. There could be potential applications for an 'outdoor Audienc...
