Is this what you mean by a pair jumper?

I just made it and I do not get any result in the cable test section

I am using Mikrotik access points connected to my RB5009 using the pre-existing wires going through the walls of my house. All the links are established at 1Gbps, except one, between the RB5009 and an hap AC^2 - this particular path only goes up to 100Mbs. How should I diagnose this and find out mor...

my screenshots showed that only half of the devices elected to connect to the ac^3 and that the signal appeared weaker. But this seemed to have resolved itself overtime. I have reduced the channel width from 40 MHz to 20 MHz, and switched from channel 6 to channel 1 as it was bit less crowded by my ...

Thank you @bpwl - indeed the signal strength got better with time!

I have not verified that here is enough free channel room left for 40MHz in 2.4GHz - how should I do that? Or should I simply reduce the width to 20MHz and see what happens?

I just replaced an ac2 with an ac3 - exact same configuration that I pushed with a script ROS 7.7 - wall mounted, same location. https://i.imgur.com/VW9D8Tt.png https://i.imgur.com/At9ra71.png /interface wireless set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] band=5ghz-n/ac channel-width=20/40/80mhz-eCee disabled=...

Thank you @Jotne, seems like exactly what I needed!

Thank you @bpwl, MQS and mAP lite are super interesting!

Thank you both!
What if I add power-over-usb to the list of requirements? So I don’t have to carry the power adapter.

Which mikrotik device is
* cost effective
* lightweight
* able to connect to a hotel wifi over 5GHz (or 2.4 if unavailable)
* make it the WAN, firewall it from the LAN
* Allow my LAN devices over wifi through my own SSID

Is there a default setup for this particular configuration?

Will do!
Thanks so much for your insight!

Are you sure it is capped at 30V? I am under the impression that it can take 57V

Ok Thank you for your input @mkx!
I will update to 7.7 all my mikrotik devices when it becomes stable and will report back if the 48V finally works.

I am still unable to poe other mikrotik devices using the original 48V. Even after upgrading to 7.6.

What are the downsides of powering the RB5009 with 24V instead of 48V? Any long term issues?

Ok thank you - I set up some VLANs to separate my Main/IOT/Guest traffic so I am familiar with the concept. However, I did not realize I could tag the WAN traffic also. I will read the pages you referenced and come back if I have more questions.

I am a software engineer with a question that probably will sound silly to a network engineer... but I prefer to ask in case there is a solution. My main Mikrotik Router is setup as such: ether1: WAN1 [Cable modem] ether2: WAN2 [5G Hotspot] ether3: LAN Mikrotik AP with available ether ports the setu...

Thank you, your suggestion worked.
I took the power supply from the hAP ac (24V 1200 mA) and connected it directly to the RB5009. Then the hAP ac is powered-on via POE...

Original Setup all running 7.5: Main Router HEX S * ether2 --> hAP ac^2 (using original power supply) * ether3 --> hAP ac (using original power supply) * ether5 --> hAP ac powered through POE I upgraded my main router for an RB5009UPr+S+: * ether2 --> hAP ac^2 (using original power supply) * ether3 ...

@pcunite I wanted to say Thank you!!! I am new to mikrotik and even had no idea what a VLAN was before reading your post.
I was able to set up my router, AP, VLAN thanks to your thorough article. I learned a lot !!

ok thank you this is definitely very informative. I was wondering how 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 could work with the `static` IP.
Any chance you can give me a bit more detail to set it up though? I am a beginner with both mikrotik and pihole.
Thanks!

what do you mean ?

This seems to resolve against the mikrotik cache, therefore introducing a delay in detection of a pihole outage.
How do we skip the cache for this particular request?

oh I should have mentioned that the command line output I shared were directly from the docker host that runs the docker container. The DNS issues materialize on the physical machine and for some reasons name resolution only happen with the .local domain. Anyway - I did not figure it out yet, but I ...

Thank you editing the /etc/hosts does provide immediate name resolution. I need to do some digging though: on the splunk host I seem to be experiencing local DNS issues: me@docker01:~/scripts$ host 192.168.88.24 Host 24.88.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) me@docker01:~/scripts$ ping DESK...

Thank you so much Jotne this is an amazing tool you put together!
I am new to Mikrotik, just got the router 2 weeks ago.
I am wondering how you guys get the hostname to show in the screenshots? I have the IP address instead?
