Check the leases on your DHCP server and see if you can spot the ATL, make sure you have "Active Host Names" selected.

After I upgraded to 7.16 I lost all my static addresses but noticed they had been assigned other ip addresses.

marsbeetle

Well... No wonder you got disconnected... That signal strength is sh*t... Wifi signal strength is certainly affected (again) with 7.16. A lot of my home automation lights on 2.4ghz lost connectivity after the upgrade to 7.16 - after downgrade to 7.15.3 they are all connecting fine again. I recall w...

marsbeetle

Not sure if this is a 7.16 or Winbox 4 Beta 8 issue, since I just got this device today and immediately updated it to 7.16. I have this same issue using the beta Winbox 4 on macOS where it seems unable to determine which adapter to use to make the connection. I can connect to the default route but ...

Confirming DHCP issues specifically with AX3 and static addresses being ignored after upgrade to 7.16 Also noticed some of my home automation lights no longer connecting via 2ghz band to my AX2 after upgrade(weak signal). Downgraded and everything is back to "normal" Why always 1 step forw...

Have you seen the RouterOS Log window? Same. New entries at the bottom.

Apologies my mistake. I thought this was a new application with opportunities for improvements.

How do you read your emails in your inbox? Oldest first and back to front ?

marsbeetle

new entries are added to the bottom

Then that is where the focus should go first, not to the oldest log entry.

marsbeetle

Not seeing this in your list @normis - please show the most recent log entries at the top. You should not have to scroll to the bottom each time.

marsbeetle

I think client certificate authentication would work well with Winbox - probably easier to implement too because certificate support already exists.

Finally figured out how to change the display of comments into a separate column DOH ! (thanks normis)

marsbeetle

What I see and an example application that uses actual Workspaces ;-) ...at least comments is displaying even though not showing a selectable option.

marsbeetle

No workspaces is definitely not that. Workspace saves arranged menus. Maybe you want a Wireless workspace, with Wireless Registration table open, the Log window, the Wireless scan window. Call it Wireless Debugging and save as a workspace. Then maybe you need a Terminal workspace with 4 terminals. ...

marsbeetle

Some really weird behaviour with regards to workspaces and commenting. Tested on both macOS + Windows Winbox4 beta3 To my mind and as used in many different applications, workspaces is used to group a set of connections, as in the case of Winbox. Or at least that is how it should be. So e.g. you hav...

Exactly - I'm not referring to Workspace comments, looking for saved connection description which is a must have.

As a suggestion, for Winbox UI firewall rules you could just add the complete console command it is executing(or going to execute) as you change or add to the drop down(s).

The USB slot on the ax3 is only 3.0 so a 3.1 flash drive will be fine and anything faster is unlikely to make a difference unless the actual flash is quicker or more reliable - the interface specification is the bottleneck.

Apple recommends using the same SSID across all bands on your wifi network. Not doing so can cause compatibility issues(according to Apple).

The homepod mini only supports 802.11n (https://www.apple.com/homepod-mini/specs/), so if you have configured your 2.4GHz radio to something else, e.g. followed the temptation to set it to 802.11ax, it will not work.

@pekr purchased two hAP ax2 devices with express intention to create a wireless bridge between two wired islands as he's not able to pull the wire between those. Apologies, I misread the comment. I thought he was saying he couldn't connect them due to the lack of modes in WifiWave2(irrespective of ...

marsbeetle

I still don't see how adding a hAP ac2 in the mix would help in this scenario?

I said in my first comment, I’ll repeat “always an option if you want to swap out one of your ax2's for a ac2.”

….which is still better than two ax2’s sitting in a draw.

marsbeetle

What good is such setup? For a bridge, the ap side has to support ap-bridge mode (OK, hAP ac2 would do). He mentioned connecting two via ethernet. You can use one ac2 as AP and switch connected to an ax2(via Ethernet), also configured and used as router, switch and wifi access point. ac2 is configu...

marsbeetle

If this is really true, I consider my devices being a bricked useless stuff, as I have no option to connect two of them via the ethernet in our apartment.

I have to admit I was also very disappointed with hAP ax3 after living with hAP ac2 for many years.

Did you try the 32bit version of winbox ?

marsbeetle

I think the worse part about PoE support on these devices is that it is old tech passive only which means it is pretty much useless on any modern day PoE switch unless it has some sort of legacy mode. Even on latest AX3 it is still using passive which I think is such a shame.

1) you need a forward chain firewall rule for your LAN from the wireguard interface.
2) you need a srcnat chain firewall rule for your VPN(wireguard) to access the Internet.

Both of these seem to be missing from what you have shown which would explain your problems.

marsbeetle

In order for your WireGuard network to access the Internet you will need to configure NAT(srcnat chain) for the WireGuard network on the gateway router. For WireGuard to access the lan try adding it to the LAN interface list: /interface list member add interface=wireguard list=LAN Your peer is also ...

A possible(untried) alternative for 2FA with SSH is to configure a container with Google's libpam and SSH which could act as a sort of "jumpbox" for access to the router. Appropriate firewall rules would prevent direct access.

Why would you only want to forward requests to adguard as a last resort? You either use it or you don’t.

marsbeetle

It wouldn’t have done any permanent damage. Once you are happy with your configuration on the hAP just export the configuration and then manually add everything you need from that export to your backup RB which will mostly just be a copy and paste of commands. Read the docs.

marsbeetle

It seems to be a pihole specific configuration issue now that it can access the internet. I use adguard so i'm not too familiar with pihole but i saw this post on github which might contain some helpful information - https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/issues/1166

marsbeetle

You would need to restart the container to see any logs. Make sure the rule you just added is above your forward drop rule.

marsbeetle

It doesn’t look like your Pihole container can access the internet. Try adding an accept forward chain rule with src address of container out WAN interface so it can do DNS queries. It also helps sometimes just to temporarily enable logging on your drop rules to do troubleshooting. You would then se...

Is ROS 7.6 still better than 7.8 in terms of wifi stability and signal strength? …surely not.
