A couple of potential ways of solving the lack of flash storage in order to properly support wifiwave2 devices might be: 1. For devices which are managed by CAPsMAN and where the CAPsMAN Manager device has substantially larger storage, it should be possible for the CAPsMAN device to download the wif...

I opened a ticket with MikroTik Support - #[SUP-6586] The response received was: Hello, Thank you for your request. I will forward this information to the people in charge. Unfortunately, I cannot promise we will add such a feature in RouterOS. Best regards, Artūrs C. I will not be holding my breath...

I am both shocked and amazed that this issue is still present in current day RouterOS v6.44.1 even though I reported it back in the days of RouterOS v4.x.

Like I said, it is not required to contact the Licensing server. Your installation will keep working. Only RouterOS upgrade will not be possible, but if you have no connectivity, that is not possible anyway, or you can organize access when you need to do the upgrade every 6 months or so. We have wo...

The router will never stop working, regardless of license type or connectivity issues, there will be just some limitation after 2 months after the last license renewal. My problem is that the manual tells a different story: p-unlimited The p-unlimited (perpetual-unlimited) license level allows to r...

liteforce

My understanding was that there would be subscription-based and perpetual license options available. I suppose my question is, "If we purchase a perpetual license, will the router need to be in periodic contact with MikroTik's licensing servers ?" The current license model works well for u...

honzam, Thanks for your reply. This makes perfect sense; so now I have to pull this router from co-lo in order to perform surgery to it :-( After fixing countless RB750s, I guess I should have figured that the RB1000s we had would eventually be plagued with the same issue. Why can't MikroTik simply ...

Hi, I believe that the power supply in one of our RB1000U routers is faulty due to random shutdowns of the router which require a power-cycle to get the router back into service. Which MikroTik distributors are able to supply replacement power supplies (we are based in the UK) ? Regards, Terry Froy ...

Hi normis, When is the RouterBOOT memory tester going to be implemented on the CCR-series ?

Hi folks, I've been lurking on this topic since it was created. We have a number of RB1100 and RB1000 devices acting as core routers on our network; while we didn't buy the devices solely for MetaROUTER functionality, it was deemed a worthy enough feature to enable for the purpose of running small, ...

I use Mikrotik everywhere possible, but LNS is still a problem.

Hi maxrate,

We terminate a few hundred ADSL users on an RB1000 (ROS 5.14) - what problems are you seeing ?

Hi Janis, Framed-IPv6-Prefix now works fine in 5.12rc1 (Build Timestamp: Dec/29/2011 13:35:29) Thanks very much for that! Are there any plans to add support for Framed-IPv6-Route in the near future ?

liteforce

I have now verified that this exact behaviour is replicated in 5.9 and 5.12rc1 (didn't try 5.10 as this router requires EoIP).

We are leaving this device at 5.12rc1 until we find a good reason to downgrade it back to 5.11.

Hi folks, We are having mega fun trying to get RouterOS/PPC 5.11 to do anything with a statically-configured Framed-IPv6-Prefix: attribute.

I have obtained rc12 via non-MikroTik support related methods and upgraded three RB1000 units from 5.0rc10.

Tom, Exactly as freethought said. As we do full memory tests on anything we deploy (due to datacentre being 150 miles from our base), I did a full memory test on our RB1100 with the Kingston 2GB DIMM (same part number as freethought already quoted) installed and it passed no problems. It was only wh...

Tom, Our memory passed multiple memory tests with RouterBOOT 2.26, however, it still caused the RB1100 to reboot approximately 10 seconds after starting a format of a 2GB MicroSD card.

Although the SODIMM slot and memory options are the same as the RB1000, not all of my SODIMMs worked for RAM expansion. Some 2GB modules that worked fine with the RB1000 prevent the RB1100 from posting. Which appears to be in direct contradiction to http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t...

It would work just like a IPv4 router. This cant be impossible with IPv6 ? IPv6 seem to want to assign EVERYTHING a externaly accessable address. I dont need or want that. I like NAT.

DHCP or RADV cannot work through PPPoE because they are level 2 protocoles. PPP deliver level 3 packets.
