Re: Mikrotik 5G hardware roadmap

I wonder how good are the antennas in ATL 5G going to be. I have LHG LTE 18 at a location rather distant from the *only* tower and I'm afraid I might rather need "LHG 5G" to justify upgrade to a new hardware.

Re: 5g outdoor as a backup connection

where can I find a suitable case for it
Quwireless produces various antennas compatible with Mikrotik routerboards, for example: https://www.quwireless.com/product/qumax-mikrotik-rbxxx , you’d need to check which exact routerboards are compatible

Re: Cellular internet in Europe

What if you don’t share the Internet and test from the router itself? Can the router access the Internet? Does it even have IP address and default gateway installed? You’ve mentioned it worked for 3 days and then stopped working. Does rebooting the router grant you another 3 days of working?

Re: Cellular internet in Europe

Any chance your Greek operator is Cosmote and you have Cosmote Mobile Security enabled? I had terrible problems with this service enabled, introducing packet loss and TCP retransmissions, getting slower as time passed since router reboot. It was also impossible to disable this service by SMS, I had ...

Re: Mikrotik ATL LTE18 in Bridged Mode

If by "bridge" you mean "pass-through" then yes, you can do it. Please remember that in pass-through mode the Mikrotik LTE device won't be reachable by an IP address on the interface used as pass-through target. One easy way to make it work is to use the non-tagged ethernet inter...

Re: LHGGR underperforming LTE speeds [SOLVED]

Shouldn't MSS clamping be done by operator's TCP Proxy (they are often running on mobile networks, at least for APNs without inbound access)? But you're right, it's probably a good idea to check it.

UPS monitoring stops refreshing

Hello, I have an UPS APC Back-UPS BX1200MI which has an USB port which I have connected with a 5m USB cable to Mikrotik hAP ac^3. The UPS is always shown properly in /system/ups but it seems that somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes after connecting it the monitored parameters stop refreshing. [admin...

Re: LTE passthrough + management on one interface - sanity check

I'm using a similar setup and it works just fine. However with some differences: - Management is for me the plain Ethernet link, data is on VLAN. If something goes wrong it must be possible to plug in a computer and access the LTE router. I don't think that would work on a pass-through interface, ev...

Re: LTE passthrough configuration from *another* router

I don’t have the Zyxel router anymore, at that location I’ve decided to keep Mikrotik LHG LTE18 instead due to signal strength. But maybe I still can help. First thing to check is if the Zyxel router’s APN configuration set to request dual stack? Is the APN itself a type that will have the ISP provi...

Re: ATL LTE18 kit plans for a 5G version?

I'd go even a step further: LHG 5G. I have a very remote location where 5G is available on band n1 but with pretty weak signal. Mikrotik LGH LTE 18 got me better speeds and more stable link than Zyxel NR7101 with LTE Cat. 20 and 5G but "only" a 10dBi antenna.

Re: Need help: Buying advice LTE/5G

I got bad experience using low LTE class devices thinking that they already provide the throughput they need. In my case it was WAP with R11e-LTE at which provides LTE Category 4. In theory the provided bandwidth of 150Mb/s would be just fine for my use case. But the bandwidth of 150Mb/s is the maxi...
