Hi Ngiannakas,

What version of routeros are you running ?

Derek

I notice that Mikrotik were working on some DHCP client updates in 6.43 and DHCP server updates in 6.43.8. I wonder is anything related (was a bug introduced) ?. There is no mention of DHCP fixes in the 6.43.X Changelogs (https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs/).

Its audio (SIP/RTP) that drops even though the link is "good" (good TX/RX good signal - maybe not perfect CCQ though). I've seen this before - I think interference on the unlicensed frequencies causes dropped/lost packets. This is no problem for any TCP traffic (HTTP/email/etc) but I think...

dconnrt

Hi all, I'll like to make a TCP based tunnel to carry traffic (including UDP) through - is this possible? I think that normally PPTP is UDP based? Is EoIP also UDP based? The reason I'm looking for this is that I don't want UDP traffic to get lost over a wireless connection due to interference - if ...

Try to disable change-tcp-mss (encryption, compression) in ppp profile. That's an interesting one all right (change-tcp-mss). I have that enabled normally and I can see the rules having an effect in the IP -> Firewall -> Manage list. When I disable it I do get lower CPU usage but also lower total t...

dconnrt

Hi all, We are regularly seeing our RB800 hitting 100% CPU load at peak times and I'd like to see what the best choice would be to fix this. CPU is mainly being used by "firewall" and to a lesser extent "Queuing" (as shown by the Tools -> Profile tool). We don't do any Queuing an...

dconnrt

Yes. It will not change traffic throughput significantly, but for example when other brandname router does not have enough resources, encrpytion/compression could decrease total throughput. Hi Sergejs, Is PPPoE taxing on cheap routers? (e.g. TPLINK) - Is it normal for PPPoE to be much slower than D...

dconnrt

Hi everyone, We are mostly using PPPoE to give users public IP addresses and this works very well. We are finding that speed throughput with PPPoE is much slower than DHCP (6 - 7 Mbps as opposed to more than 20 Mbps). We are using TPLink wireless routers for the client PPPoE or DHCP end and Mikrotik...

Hi everyone, I've been using MT routers for a few years now and generally everything works very well. I have one customer where I've given them a point-to-point type link with a 750G at both ends in their two premises. I'm using an EOIP tunnel on my private WISP 172.16/16 network and then I'm bridgi...

dconnrt

Actually both boards / ethernet ports are Gigabit if that makes a difference?

dconnrt

Hi all,

Actually I've been looking into this more during the night and: - The problem (these OSPF messages) are occurring on cable connected routerboards (a 750G and a 800) - *NO* wireless connection.

Hi all, I have two Mikrotik routers (RB1000, RB750G) both running 4.10 talking to each other over a Ceragon IP-10 licensed link. I'm running OSPF on all my routers. I've been keeping an eye on this link over the last while and throughout the day I'm seeing entries on one side like this:- "OSPFv...

Hi, I have a RB411AH on a mast connected to a RB493AH in the comms room. Since yesterday a problem has started occuring: pings between the 411ah and 493ah stop making it through with nothing in the log on either router. When I reboot the pings work again and traffic goes through again - for a while ...

Hi,

Is it possible to purchase an rb1000 19" enclosure separate? (i.e. without the actual rb1000)

dconnrt

Hi SurferTim,

Thanks -I'll give this a go and get back with the results!

Hi all, I'm using PPPoE with a freeradius server to control the customer speeds and assign IP addresses. I also like that RouterOS will send back radius "accounting" data to the freeradius server so that we can see customer usage. I have a problem though: Sometimes the PPPoE concentrator r...

dconnrt

Hi eflanery,

Absolutely perfect - this is what I was missing. Increasing the cost for the Interface has sorted it out

thanks very much!!!!

Derek

dconnrt

Hi all, I'm sure I missing something with this isssue with OSPF: I have a MT router with two wireless links back to the data centre. Both of the wireless routes from this router are two IP hops. Due to this OSPF is showing both outgoing routes in the 0.0.0.0/0 default route ("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX re...

dconnrt

Hi all, I had a problem with MT boards before where I let the license timeout (upgrade from 3.X to 4.X) - silly I know. On that occasion I pulled down the boards and used a serial cable and ethernet cable to reinstall routeros - all went fine. I might have a problem with another MT board - its a lon...

dconnrt

Hi, When I switch the the wireless "band" to 5GHz-10MHz with ROS 4.5 and an XR5 and I try to scan for APs out there I get "ERROR: scan not running Or click here to see them all.". This is strange because I know there are 10MHz 5 Ghz APs that I should pick-up (they show up with St...

dconnrt

Hi Fewi, I just got a shock when I did a bandwidth test but (accidentally) made the local rb800 the end-point for the test (I originally meant to test a wireless link with R52N cards). I saw speeds between 46 Mbps to 106 Mbps and then I realised that I was just doing an bandwidth test locally. I won...

dconnrt

Hi, Do you mean: When a call is made the far end phone rings but you don't hear any ringing sound? If so it means that the signaling is working (UDP to destination port 5060) but the problem is with the RTP stream (to you I guess?) Make sure that you have any NAT settings in your ATA enabled and tha...

dconnrt

Hmmm - maybe this is OK. I've just done the same bandwidth test (loopback really) on an rb493AH and its worse than on the rb800. So I guess that the problem is either the bandwidth test itself (does it use a random data generator???) or maybe, for maximum throughput, the boards shouldn't route but o...

dconnrt

Just upgraded to ros 4.5 and no difference with the poor bandwidth test speeds (although now I see that the temperature is displaying correctly in System --> Health)

dconnrt

Hi all, In an rb800 with ros4.4. when I do a speed test to the routerboard's own IP (i.e. no other routerboard, no cable, etc) I never see more than 106 Mbps (but it varies from 46 Mbps up to 106 Mbps) and the CPU is maxed out at 100%. The rb800 is an 800 Mhz processor. Is there a problem with ros 4...

dconnrt

Hi, I upgraded a couple of RB800s from 4.2 to 4.4. I noticed that, after the upgrade on the 1st unit, the System -> Health temperature was showing at 105C - a bit worrying. I checked the 2nd RB800, running the stock ROS4.2, and it showed the temperature at 36C. After the upgrade it was showing over ...

dconnrt

thanks - worked perfectly

dconnrt

Hi,

When I go to www.mikrotik.com/download.html I don't see any "system type" for RB800 board.

Where do I download the latest ROS for these boards?

thanks,

dconnrt

I havent seen what happens to a RouterBOARD in this situation. Maybe a cold reboot will wake them up for another 72 hours? If not - you will probably have to reinstall them ... ask support@mikrotik.com of course. Hi NetworkPro, A cold reboot didn't do anything so far (no contact with Winbox) - funn...

dconnrt

Hi NetworkPro, I didn't use Winbox (I'm remote and only have telnet/ssh access) - I wasn't sure about the "update license" WinBox button thing. Do you have a link to any docs on what to do to get a "dead" MT board working again (even if I have to get to the boards and reset them,...

dconnrt

Ahahahahaaa mate mate did you update the license BEFORE you restarted the routerBOARDs ? :) if not - thats why they went offline - you have 72 hours to use the WInBox function UPDATE LICENSE to the new v4 license :) :( Oh no........... this is very sad. What is the procedure to fix this problem - I...

dconnrt

Hi all, Last Wednesday I upgraded all routers to 4.2. Some were as old as 3.26. This is weird: 3 (of around 10) routerboard 433s died on Saturday (last night) - all around the same time. Due to to the position of the routerboards I haven't fixed them all yet - but I did have that on one 411 which wa...

dconnrt

Hi again, I'm still having no luck with routeros / freeradius / mac authentication. Are there know problems with this? Is anyone else using routeros with mac authentication for a typical pay-for-Internet Hotspot? I was on to Irish Mikrotik distributors today and they suggested using cookie, rather t...

dconnrt

Hi Lukkes,

I'm also very interested in this too. This weekend I'm planning on trying out load balancing with a 493AH with 8 X ADSL lines (only choice in a remote location with no "proper" IP feed).

Derek

dconnrt

Hi Normis, The problem seems to be that 1) routeros checks against radius to see if the user is allowed by MAC 2) radius says NO and routeros redirects to my web server which writes the user's mac into the radius mysql table then redirects back to routeros servlets then 3) routeros DOESN'T check aga...

dconnrt

Hi Normis, I guess you are the authority on routeros. I can't get hotspot to work 100% - I don't know how to get Mikrotik to re-authenticate against a freeradius server after I've inserted the user's mac address into the radcheck table. Can you tell me how to make routeros hotspot attempt to re-chec...

dconnrt

... but OpenWRT will install on it. OpenWRT is free and some things (Hotspot with Coova Chilli) is very easy and works really well (and I can't get any answers to my routeros hotspot woes on this forum...). But while OpenWRT is perfect as an AP to customer notebooks, etc it doesn't seem to get the s...

dconnrt

Can this be done with the walled garden and based on destination port addresses for each protocol you want to allow without hotspot authorisation?

Derek

dconnrt

Hi all,

I still havent' worked this out but I've spent ages trying lots of different settings in routeros hotspot and the HTML/servlet pages.

Does anyone know how to make routeros hotspot re-check the user against the radius server?

thanks very much,

Derek

dconnrt

hello

dconnrt

Hi

It sounds like you have Masquarading (a.k.a. NAT) setup on our outgoing (192.168.3.2) IP - do you have this setup in your routeros firewall?

Also, without the NAT, will your win2000 server know how to route back to your 44.172.16 networks?

Derek

dconnrt

Is there good hotspot documentation anywhere? I have not cracked this problem. The only way I can make the routeros Hotspot re-check the user against the freeradius server (after its checked and then the user's mac has been added to the radius sql) is by re-associating wirelessly to the hotspot AP. ...

dconnrt

Hi all, Does anyone know how to call-back to the routeros hotspot page (/hotspot/redirect.html) in such a way as to ask it to re-check against the freeradius server? I'm entering the user (their MAC address) into the radcheck table but I have to dis-associatiate and re-associate to the Mikrotik AP b...

dconnrt

Hi all, I have a [not quite working] Hotspot which uses freeradius and a website to add the user by Mac address. In routeros my customized "login.html" page sends the user to my website where I add their mac address into the "radcheck" table and then I forward them back to /redir...

Bummer. Does anyone know if its possible to get the CF USB reader to operate with netinstall in VMWARE (linux host, windows XP guest)?

dconnrt

Hi, I've got a similar problem where the DSL ISP does not support MLPPP bonding. I'd rather not load balance of the lines because I haven't had much luck with it and I'd also love to increase the possible bandwidth speed and not be limited to the top speed of a single line. I'm also buying bandwidth...

Hi, Is it possible to use netinstall to install an x86 version of routeros onto a compact flash? I've no problems running winbox with wine and ubuntu but when I run netinstall there are no drive mappings for the compact flash card (via a USB card reader). Do I need to partition, format and mount the...

dconnrt

Hi mplsguy, I still haven't worked it out. I did add the remote AP MAC into the connect list but it'll still associating to the wrong AP. Is there an option in router os somewhere along the lines of "Only connect to the APs specified in the connect list" ? I tried switching on the "De...

dconnrt

Hi, We have multiple APs with the same SSID. How can I make a routerboard associate to a single AP by MAC address rather than allow it choose which AP it wants to associate with ? (routeros seems to pick a weak AP rather than a closer one). I've tried adding the APs MAC as an Access List entry and t...

Hi Sergejs,

Yes - I had "transparent proxy" enabled. I've disabled it now and I'll test it later and see if this setting makes a difference.

What is "transparent proxy"? - I'm having trouble finding out anything about it.

thanks

dconnrt

Hi 0ldman, I saw a big difference in speed from my pre-mikrotik (openwrt) days. I also though it was a timing problem but I really couldn't get any improvements with madwifi using the athctrl -d command (and also tried manually changing timing settings in the /proc/sys/dev/wifi0 directory but to no ...

dconnrt

That's pretty optimistic of you :). In reality I do see a 4 X increase in speed just by turning on N-Stream. An example: I have a 14KM link @ 5Ghz and if I have N-Stream off and I use the bandwidth tool via Winbox I get around 3Mbps one direction between a 333 and a 411. If I turn N-Stream on I get ...

dconnrt

Hi all,

I'm seeing 4 X throughput gains when using MT ROS N-Stream - I've been amazed by this for quite some time.

Is N-Stream a completely propriety and a one-of-a-kind system?

Is there any other similar type technology for other systems like openwrt and madwifi?

thanks,

D

dconnrt

Hi, Something I'm not quite clear on (even with testing): - If you have a Hotspot, A remote [free]radius server and Mac authentication - is there any delay problems with the following: - 1. The user tries to get access and doesn't (Mac address not in the radius server's tables) 2. The user pays up t...

dconnrt

I'm going to setup a test board again and see if that rule is there - I checked another Hotspot board today (Mac address but via the internal user manager and NOT an external [internet] radius server) and that rule # 13 IS there but it doesn't seem to be messing anything up!). I wonder why there is ...

dconnrt

To follow-up: - I upgraded routeros from 3.11 to 3.13 but the same problem is there (the "bad" NAT rule # 13 - hs-auth redirect). The user tries to access an external website and does get authenticated (via MAC authentication with an external radius server - and the user is logged in and d...

dconnrt

Hi again,

I've upgraded to ROS v3.13. I see the "bad" rule is still there but I'm not at the location so I can't test (and I've erased the rule again).

What is the "transparent proxy" option in the user profile menu?

thanks very much for the help!

Hi everyone, I'm seeing a weird problem with a Hotspot setup: - I'm using Hotspot with Mac authentication and a [freeradius] radius server and it's almost perfect. BUT people can't get out on the web when they are logged in - and the reason seems to be a rogue NAT rules that's added by Hotspot. If I...

dconnrt

Hi Omega, If I disable (or remove) the Hotspot then Internet access is back working fine again. This is the only (production) hotspot I have currently.

dconnrt

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to do multi-card MESH with routeros and, say, a 333 or a 433 routerboard ? I was thinking about two 5Ghz backhaul cards and one 2Ghz customer AP card.

Is this type of setup possible with routeros?

thanks for any information
