When deploying the MT hotspot service, I see that maps a user's IP address to a second address, presumable to enable some of the magic hotspot/NAT stuff to happen. This is mildly annoying, but acceptable when providing NATed service to mobile users, but I am using MAC auth for a number of fixed user...

Is this available for public consumption yet?

I have an odd issue where hotspot logins are failing, radius logs show garbled passwords Auth: Login incorrect: [scott/\013\245\210g\375\200\324/w\226_\262\322\017\347:] and would like to send radius auth requests from the MT, but I am not able to cable in directly to it, or associate to the wireles...

I have seen the exact same thing with 4.1 and R5H cards. Two cards side by side in a 433AH, when scanning you will see the other SSID leaping across. My assumption is that the "bleed" over to the other channels is strong enough for the scan to recognize it as another channel.

I also had an R5H fail on the tower, on a clear day, connected to a 29dbi Terrawave/Pac Wireless grid. Was changing channels, and after a change, the card never transmitted again. Having only deployed two R5H cards, this isn't too encouraging.

Did you read my post and the solution for long links over water? http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31644 I did read that thread, and had considered the same. At he moment, my plan is to upgrade the 29dbi grids to 32dbi parabolics, drop the higher end of the link to the same height a...

You cannot model effectively over a predominent water link. You are in the lap of the gods. Previous post hit the nail on the head... Ducting. Ducting is more common over sea paths, can happen each day... Hint... Look at smoke stacks if there are any... Does the smoke rise or go horizontal. A few h...

I just swapped this link to H-Pol, and it needs to be watched overnight, but looks good so far. Signal fluctuating between -59 and -66 on a 20mhz channel, CCQ at 90/90 or better. After flipping to H-Pol, the channel was still set to 5Mhz, and the same fast start and slowdown was occurring, the radio...

Did you just put the link up or did you perform a path analysis beforehand? Over water links, especially longer ones, normally suffer from multipath and ducting. If you deploy a single pole link, regardless of polarity, you will experience issues at some point unless you have extremely high endpoin...

I have a 23 Mile link over water, that is currently V-Pol, and not working too hot. We are slated to swap the antennas to H-Pol, but I am wondering if N would be an optional at all. Radio Mobile puts the link at -60 with 29dbi grids and R5H cards. We have seen as good as -55, and as bad as -90 and l...

You could try /system logging add topics=ospf,!raw That should give you a pretty good overview on what's going on. That is exactly what I needed, thanks. I had found topics=ospf, but the `,!raw` was needed to make it intelligible. I have attached a log of the OSPF events, it seems that I get an err...

I have a few MT routers, a mix of 3.28 and 4.1 talking OSPF to each other, with a Cisco on the edge. The routes for some of the MTs are stable, while others seem to flap. It appears that the neighbor does not drop, but the routes are withdrawn from the routing table. Is there a way to turn on some l...

I'm retrofitting an existing wireless POP with MT systems, one per pop. The existing POPs have multiple radios, all with the same SSID, driving multiple sectors on the same tower. I know this isn't ideal, but I'd rather not reconfigure all the CPEs out there for their respective sector. Can a MT rad...
