Picture would be nice, or at least a description of the location.

Here are some examples from searching the MikroTik wiki: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=166151&p=816869&hilit=lte+sim+plan#p816869 "some mobile operators play silly games if your "plan" is for a mobile phone and you use the SIM in a router. " https://f...

I have a situation where a router with an LTE modem might be an ideal solution. But, service provider compatibility, SIM cards, data plans, etc. might be show stoppers. Is there a page with an overview of these topics and links to more detailed information? So far my searches have only turned up fol...

D'Oh! I was looking at things crosseyed and I missed the bridge1 interface, which is what I now think is the correct configuration for what I want. Double D'Oh! I didn't see any responses, looked for this thread, didn't see it. And asked again. Sorry about that. Remaining Puzzle I still have the my...

I have this almost working the way I want it. I have a minimalist configuration on the router: [admin@router] /tool sniffer> export # dec/30/2017 00:08:37 by RouterOS 6.40.4 # software id = TJQF-1YLZ # # model = 750GL # serial number = 467B04A9F1B1 /tool sniffer set file-limit=100000KiB filter-inter...

Using /tool/sniffer to send sniffed packets from Mikrotik router wan interface. Receiving on linux laptop with: tzsp2pcat -f Unfortunately, the packets are post-nat and show the external ip address not the internal address. Except for a very small number of packets.

Trying to set up according to: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Ethereal/Wireshark And other variations such as using trafr I'm using RouterOS 6.38.5 and Wireshark 2.2.5 from Ubuntu's Latest Stable PPA When the sniffer is running I get overwhelmed by a vast number of Malformed Packets.

It would be very nice if I could tweak the default config on a RB750 to build a bridge on the LAN side instead the WAN side, leaving just one LAN port connected to a bigger, faster switch. One port (the real WAN port) on a 4port switch goes to a modem, the other 3 ports go to other switches or devic...

Turn wireless off on your computer. Go to network connections and select properties and then hilite internet protocal, select properties, select "use following address and enter this IP, 192.168.88.5 then 255.255.255.0, then click okey. This assigns a static Ip to your computer in the same ran...

Hi, I have a brand new RB912G, and have been trying to get it configured. I was making progress, but have had a major setback. Port scanning using nmap (via zenmap front end) shows the router appears to be at the expected 192.168.88.1. with a reasonable set of open tcp ports: 21, 22, 23, 53, 80, 200...

Do I need an antenna on both chains?

What configuration options make sense with only 1 antenna connected to choin 0.

Just tried updating 3.27 -> 4.11

Got the message about updating my license using winbox.

What about those of who don't use windows?
Can we update without using winbox?

While searching the forums I found a message that said I had to upgrade to 3.30 first. Is that correct?

So can anyone explain why the /ip address entry
is invalid and tell me how to make it valid?

Trying to get openvpn working in my test network I believe my immediate problem is that I have an "invalid" entry in /ip address [admin@sch-mt] /ip address> print Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic # ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE 0 ;;; LAN 172.25.1.1/24 172.25.1.0 172.25.1...

From the wiki page it appears that a stuff that should be configurable is hard coded. For example, using subnets within 10.15.0.0 where did you see that? 10.15.0.0 is just an example... Okay, I see some of the things I missed in my previous look at the openvpn wiki page. The part I still don't see ...

There doesn't seem to be any pages in the manual for openvpn. Just a page in the wiki: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/OpenVPN From the wiki page it appears that a stuff that should be configurable is hard coded.

From reading the documentation, when syncing to a gps receiver, it looks like it just syncs using the nmea messages, and not the much more accurate transitions in the 1 pulse per second waveform on a modem control line. Is this correct? It looks like ntp servers can only be specified by ip numbers n...

After exporting a configuration,

and editing it to make another configuration for this bpx, or another box.

Is the an easy way to make it "importable",

getting around the nasty gotcha in the /import documentation?

My first impression on reading the included some misconceptions. I looked at backup/restore and saw that it saves everything in one big binary file. You cannot make any adjustments before you restore. Export/Import seemed much better. It saves everything in a editable text file. Once I get things wo...

ether1 is my wan port the rest of the ethernet ports are all on bridge1 Can I easily do qos on the traffic between ether1 and bridge1, ignoring traffic local to bridge1. I have a low end 1536/896 DSL line, it's the best I can get in my neighborhood. A big step up from 128/128 ISDN. High priority fif...

D'Oh!

I must have had my eyes closed when I was look a the console, etc.
Should have seen that my self.

Thanks, Skillfull, so far you have been the one to answer all my questions!

I want edit an existing firewall rule set. I'm assuming the MikroTik firewall rulesets are executed top to bottom like other firewalls I have used. How do I move a rule up or down in the ruleset? How do I a rules at a certain point in the ruleset? Both from the console, telnet and ssh sessions and u...

I understand most of this and will give it a try.

The piece I don't understand is the src-address-list=port-knock

x.x.x.x the public ip is assigned by the isp's dhcp server.

it is not known at this time,
and it may change when the lease from the isp's dhcp server expires.
I cannot be monitoring the public ip and manually changing it
the firewall rule set every time the isp changes the public ip.

I've made some progress. Ether1 is my public interface and is plugged into the cable modem. Dhcp-client gets the public ip from comcast. The remaining Ethernet ports are all ports on Bridge1. Bridge1 has been assigned the private ip 192.168.1.1/24. Dhcp server is handing out ip numbers for the priva...

Hi,

I'm trying to run winbox on a Lenovo S10e netbook. It has a small 1024x576 pixelv screen. The winbox window is taller than 576 pixels and I don't have a scrollbar to access the bottom of the window.

Where do I find the correct packages to update a rb493

I see directories fo x86, a couple flavors of mips, ppc,
But no atheros directory.

is it possible to get a unix shell under RouterOS?
