Just checked on my setup, in your first screen I have where it shows TLS "start tls".

awesome, that seems to have done the trick! thanks for the assist!

I'm trying to use my gmail account to send emails when specified log events occur, but I am unable to get any email to send. I have 2FA enabled on my gmail account, so I did make sure to create an app password within my gmail security settings to use in order to get around that. Here are the setting...

Are there ANY versions of x86 RouterOS 6.x which will work natively (i.e., without resorting to installing it within a hypervisor, or any other janky work-arounds) on a PC with no legacy mode available in BIOS, only UEFI? I see that UEFI is supported in 7.1+, but I can't find anything about any vers...

i knew it had to be something really stupid and simple...that fixed the issue, thanks!

hey guys, i have 2x MikroTik RBSXTsq5nD-US's as remote bridge devices, and a single RBMetalG-52SHPacn-US as the root device, and i'm having issues with getting the two remote SXT's to connect to the root RBMetal at the same time. i can plug in one or the other SXT and it will connect to the RBMetal ...

hey guys, i'm trying to figure out how to set up RouterOS to function basically as a "wireless switch", with the wlan1 interface as its "uplink port". it will be connecting to both MikroTik and non-MikroTik access points (non-MTik more often than not) depending on where i am. i w...

so i have an x86 system set up and the USB stick i was booting off of died on me. i tried installing the same ROS version to another USB drive of the same exact manufacturer, size, etc., but i was having nothing but problems getting it to boot off USB properly. so instead, i installed to a SATA hard...

hey guys, i was just curious to see if anyone has any information regarding the Atheros AR8151 gigabit LAN chipset and its compatibility with RouterOS? i know that Routerboard products work with certain Atheros-based chips, but i don't see anything on the Supported Hardware list on the wiki, nor any...

in pure numerical sequence, .5 (or .50) is more/higher/newer than .32. however, in this firmware version numbering sequence, it really should be read as 6.05, which would clearly indicate that it is a lower (older) firmware than 6.32. i don't know why MikroTik doesn't adopt this numbering to avoid a...

you sure you didn't get the new RE951Ui-2HnD? RE, as in Rotten Egg?

this should drop all pings without affecting your internet connection:

i am trying to enable the reset jumper option in ROS 6.25 on an RB951G (firmware v3.19), and it will not stay enabled. i've tried both via the winbox option, as well as from command line (/system routerboard settings set enable-jumper-reset=yes), and it will not stay enabled. when i set the option v...

xunil76

yeah, i know you can change the frequency; but the speed that is generally advertised is the nominal "default" speed, how it comes set from the factory. in this case it lists 2 "nominal" speeds in 2 different places. if it comes from the factory at 1Ghz, it should be listed in bo...

there are a couple things i noticed on the routerboard.com website that don't seem right. for one, the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC shows on the main product listing page that it is 1.2Ghz, but on the CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC 's individual page, it says 1Ghz. so which is it? CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC specs.jpg also, lo...

what if there was some "weatherproofing" where the cables go into the device? just have a rubber grommet that you can put around the LAN/power cables, then that seats into an opening in the bottom of the device. this way, you could have hurricane-force winds, and you won't get water creepi...

xunil76

what is a "reasonable" safe speed over the stock 600Mhz for this device? i know that "technically", anything over stock is taking a chance, but is there any speed over stock that could be considered "almost safe", without fear that it's going to die the next day?

xunil76

yes, exactly my point, which is why i wanted to post this up and see if anyone knew for sure. the fact that there is nothing anywhere that i have been able to find stating which processes are multi-threaded and which ones are single-threaded only is extremely frustrating. depending on usage of the p...

xunil76

so i'm looking at one of our x86 systems in the Profile menu, and with it set to "All" on the CPU setting, i see that there are multiple entries with the same process name. does this mean that if there is more than one entry for a given process, that the process in question can actually di...

xunil76

so last night i'm gaming online and i lose my connection, and i come to realize that it's not an ISP issue, but my RB493G has completely powered off. i'm using the MikroTik 24v power supply, and this device was online for a little over a year continuously (380+ days) with no issues. i've owned it si...

here's how we block p2p in our routers....it's not 100% foolproof, but it blocks the majority of it: /ip firewall filter add action=add-dst-to-address-list address-list=FILESHARING address-list-timeout=10m chain=forward comment=P2P_QUEUEING dst-address-list=!P2PEXEMPT p2p=all-p2p add action=add-src-...

the static DHCP IP address that you specify does not have to be within the DHCP pool. i have 48 static DHCP leases on my home network, and my devices all work fine without them being in the DHCP pool.

xunil76

if there is only one device per port, you can just look at the data going across each individual port at any given time in the interface list

xunil76

OK, so let's ask this another way:

is an Intel Core2Duo (dual-core @ 3Ghz) or Core i7 (quad-core @ 3.4Ghz) faster than a CCR1009 with 9 x 1.2Ghz? if so, how much faster?

xunil76

The product pages which are complete have a throughput table at the bottom. I look at the medium sized packets for an estimate that is neither too optimistic nor too pessimistic. These are values without taking advantage of the new fasttrack feature. right, but is there one of these datasheets for ...

xunil76

Hi, both intel and AMD are x86 constructions, but they still have different IPC, now you want to compare different constructions? yes, exactly....this is why i'm posting this, to find out which should theoretically be the faster overall performer. They of course have diff in speed - not only IPC, b...

xunil76

when you say the datasheet, are you referring to the PDF brochure that is available on routerboard.com under each model, like the one below? if so, that doesn't really tell me much, other than the actual clock speed, which i already know. http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/CCR1009-8G-1S-1SplusPC-15020...

xunil76

can the clock speed on these processors be directly compared, as far as how RouterOS runs on each? for instance, in the PC world, 3Ghz on an Intel i7 CPU does not equal 3Ghz on an AMD CPU. can the same be said for Tilera vs. intel vs. mips-be? are there any sort of optimizations for x86 processors, ...

xunil76

anyone know if either a core2duo or an i7-2600k will be better than a CCR1009?
also, anywhere that shows a list of all the processes and whether they are single or multithreaded?

i currently have an RB493G running my home network, and it has been rock-solid stable (uptime of 332+ days as of today). however, about a year ago i upgraded my internet connection from a 7Mbit/sec DSL connection to a 75Mbit/sec cable connection. i run some pretty minor queueing rules (not to be con...

someone mis-configured a unit of ours that is out in the field, and we don't know what the password is, so the PPTP authentication is failing. is there any way to view what password the unit in the field is sending to our PPTP server so we can change the password and get it to connect? the PPTP serv...

xunil76

because i already have 2 of the RB951's, one which stays at home, and one which will go with me when i travel. there's no need to buy another device to be used only for travel. even at just a little over $20, it's a waste to have it just sitting around doing nothing when i'm at home (which is most o...

xunil76

anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?

xunil76

hey guys, i need some assistance with getting something set up (if what i'm thinking of is even possible). i hope this is posted in the right section...if not, please move as necessary. at home i have 2 mikrotik routers, an RB493G is my main gateway AP/router, and an RB951G is connected behind it. t...

xunil76

Well, yes, there's no :end command. If you want to stop a script from running, use :return instead, or branch out, as I did in my previous example. As for the Wireless/Ethernet check... You can simply check whether the output of one is an empty string, and try the other if it is. You keep wanting t...

xunil76

OK, so i figured out the problem between the wlan1 & ether x /sfp x : :global IDENTITY <variable> ### "<variable>" would be "ether1", "ether2", "sfp1", "sfp2", etc. :if ($IDENTITY = "wlan1") do= { /system identity set name=[/interface w...

xunil76

OK, with a minor modification, the 2nd script you posted works (it was missing a "/" on the 2nd to last line: " /system identity set name=[interface ethernet get $IDENTITY mac-address]" needs to be " /system identity set name=[ / interface ethernet get $IDENTITY mac-address]...

xunil76

OK, the "$identity" part was what i was missing, thanks for that and would it not be "/system identity set name=$identity" instead of ":system identity set name=$identity"? or does it have to have the ":" there? also, using the scripts that we have already to ...

xunil76

hey guys, pretty new to scripting here....i'm looking for a way to add to an existing script the ability to automatically set the system identity, based on the MAC address of the WAN interface. what i want it to do is get the MAC address of the interface of choice (which will be specified by the var...

Is there any way to reset just the password on an RB2011UiAS-RM without resetting the entire configuration?

i have an RB493G (RouterOS 5.11) with ports 2 thru 9 and wlan1 bound to a bridge called "LAN-Bridge". port 1 is the WAN interface. i have 3 subnets set up on the LAN-Bridge: 192.168.75.0/24 - all packets from this subnet are marked either "Priority 1 UP" or "Priority 1 DOWN&...

we have some RB750 units out in the field (NOT RB750G) that are completely inadequate for the number of people logging in via Hotspot where they are installed, and it is causing the units to max out at 100% CPU usage. these customers are constantly calling us because they cannot login as a result, a...

I want to use a mikrotik router while i'm travelling, but want an encrypted connection that routes all my traffic back to my home connection (also on a mikrotik) so i can isolate myself from anyone else on the network at the locations i will be staying, as well as being able to access my local LAN r...

I would continue to look at '/log'. That's the only way I know to view devices attempting to connect, but which are denied. that works for anything that's currently in the log....but as we all know, once the maximum number of lines has been reached, the oldest lines start getting pushed off.....so ...

xunil76

can you hide the ssid?

unfortunately, no....my girlfriend's computer has issues with connecting to the router when the SSID is hidden....stupid Macintoshes.....

xunil76

yeah, it looks like you're correct on that, and i've corrected that part....but any idea on how to list the MAC addresses of any devices attempting to connect to the wlan1 interface?

xunil76

hey guys, i'm new here to the forums, but not really new to MikroTik....we've been using them at work for quite a while, i use MikroTik on my home network, and i just recently got the 3 MikroTik advanced certs. i'm running an RB493G with an R52Hn wireless card to handle 2.4Ghz wifi duties. however, ...
