are you using the hotspot feature? try and "MAC ping" from within Mikrotik. If that works and normal ping doesnt, Id guess a firewall issue.

That worked great. thanks dsobin.

The only Issue I could see with it, is if you manage multiple networks you would need each hotspot network on a different subnet.
eg:
10.5.50.0/24
10.5.51.0/24
10.5.52.0/24

yes, Im pretty lazy.

thanks again mate.

Im not asking 'is diversity supported in routerOS' im asking does diversity work when the cards supports it ? I couldnt find a recent radio diversity post, so I was thinking routerOS might of added a little something since. Ive ran some tests and I cant conclude whether diversity is working or not. ...

Im out for a couple of days, will let you know if it works when I try it.
Looks great though. thanks for your help.

Hi Guys, Ive been on this for a couple of days. Im getting closer. I want to cover my small town with free wifi. they still need to sign up through radius server, though its all free. this is an image of how I have set it up in my house ready for install. Everything is working except I wont be able ...

yes thanks. i havnt really looked into the web interface. from what I can remember it was quite limited but better than nothing.

Surely this has come up before.
