x86 ROS 5.14 (VM) and Dude beta3 has problems with web access. I even took my x86 box up to 6.3 and it still didn't work dropped it down to 4.17 and all is well. Come on MT guys this needs to be fixed!

I'm having issues getting UDP to move across a VPN. I've been doing some searches and it seems there is no confirmed resolution. Setup: a SXT has a wireless connection which is being hit by the PPTP client, the PPTP server is up and running on this SXT. Ether1 is connected to a device that is gettin...

Still can't do it? I've tried to google it, but all i get is feature request threads on this forum. I need to connect my Mikrotik devices to wireless network that uses PEAP MSCHAPv2 auth, is it possible after all this years of RouterOS development? I just ran into the same issue. I'd like to use Mi...

this sounds like a real challenge. i dont know the geography of your set up but as you are only covering a small area i reckon a good start has to be in antenna choice. a directional antenna will isolate a lot of the Background noise. I will be intersted in how this one is solved The cisco devices ...

Does anyone have any pointers about specific settings that might improve 2.4 wifi in sporting event with 100k fans? It seems the noise floor gets worse and worse when fans enter the event which indicates tons of probe request from their smartphones. I only need to provide wireless to a small area co...

My goal is to create a secure tunnel for credit card transactions. POS--->mikrotik---->vpnclient---->public wifi network--->Routeros on a VM with tunnel server---ether2 (payment processor). Everything works for this setup until I throw in the fact that their will be multiple POS machines. I would li...

I like it so far.
Upgraded an rb800 5.4 AP and all CPEs 5.4 and running NV2. I noticed bandwidth test seem smoother and less "control frame timeouts". However more testing to come before I claim this to be "hot feces".

Freqman

Just made a small break through for us.
Telneting via IP is how we have always done remote scans but in wi scan 0 duration=5 would only show about the first 13 AP's visible starting at 5180.

Our new method. SSH with putty and in wi scan 0 duration=5 will now show all available AP's.

Hope this helps.

We have a total of about 50 711's that have failed. We are sending back for RMA. Most of these are in a Poynting midrange enclosure. a majority of the issue with this consist of the POE injector light just cutting off as soon as you plug it in. On a couple of occasions I mount the radio and am only ...

Freqman

Sorry to dig up an old thread but "in wi scan 0" has been available for a long time. Works on everything even 133 on 2.9.5. I found that 3.25 and newer the duration= helps as the results will disappear if you don't catch it with control-z. all of which must be done through telnet from dos....

We are currently using 711s for all of our CPEs but have recently found that the boards are dying in the field with only about a month of service.
Has anyone else had reliability issues with these? I will be gathering all for RMA.

Freqman

My observation about lowing the data rates has(as should) increased the EIRP of the radio card and also a big increase in CCQ and much better performance from the CPE. Hope this made sense, I know throughput speed is slowed down but my question is about AP performance The performance of the AP is d...

Freqman

I agree. 5.1 should not be used on an 800. I am going back to 5.0 I have 4 APs that have had Kernel failures. Not good not good at all.

Freqman

5.1 also definately have a problem with bridging. I have RB493AH to SXT via LAN port the SXT have bridge with the LAN and wlan as ports, connecting to a RB493AH+R52Hn Ping times even to LAN is erratic, from 5-20ms, ave 15ms. Winbox times out/disconnect every few minutes. SXT is just a link between ...

So is anyone using 5.1 with WDS and VLAN over it?... Ap Bridge>Bridge, Bridge>Bridge, AP Bridge> WDS Slave, Bridge>WDS slave? If so Board and Cards?

Thanks for the follow up. Just so everyone knows NV2 has been treating us great with throughput. 10 711's (all about 3KM) off an RB800 with a R52HN card we get about 30M speed test to each customer. Much thanks MT for this new protocol we just need to iron out the wrinkles before a larger implementa...

Has anyone else giving "Station Bridge" a try? I'm seeing all the traffic from the AP make it to the Station Bridge CPE. If I run a 30M speed test to one customer it shows up as wireless traffic over on the Station Bridge CPE (torch on the Station Bridge CPE WLAN). Fixing Station Pseudobri...

711 with station WDS RC8 would not pass traffic. AP RB800 RC8. It worked fine with AP was at RC7. Weird thing is Rb800 would not go to newer firmware with "sys rou up". It still showed an upgrade available after giving it a sys rou upgrade and the reboot.

Freqman

Could some one confirm that RC7 NV2 does not work with station psuedobridge while bridging to a vlan? It looks like proxy ARP is not acting as it should. Also having no capability of creating virtuals on NV2 is a huge downfall for us. Bridge without using station-wds would be nice too. Any plans fo...

At a recent Mikrotik training session I was told that if you lock in lower data rates for the clients the AP will has less potential throughput. It was explained something like this: Situation A: all customers are connected at 11Mbps so you would have 11 "times to talk" |t|t|t|t|t|t|t|t|t|...

He's using 4.5. Probably should upgrade to 4.10. Are you keeping nstreme on? (Nstreme=On, Polling=On, CSMA=disabled) Put your card at 17db for all rates. (Set your data rates to 36mbps ONLY) I do not recommend you change antennas... just push less power through them. You want 50s or 60s for power. ...

Sorry, the senario i printed in my last post was based on 5GHz and not 2.4.

Freqman

Change frequency. Change Channel Size. Limiting Rates. Enable NStreame (Does wonders for us.) I know the recommendation is the leave power at default but you will probably want to lower it.

I thought the temp issue was on other version's of ROS (4.6) where it would just show 120c or something. Will upgrade all of them to 4.9 and sound off.

RouterOS had problem properly displaying the actual temperature, upgrade to v4.9 and see then.

I'm kinda new to MT and am having a stupid problem. Seems I can never change a frequency on an AP and have the clients move over with it. I have tried this on the XR2 and XR5 cards.
