MikroTik

THANK YOU GUYS! IT WORKED.

cinders

If your new and still learning why did you change/deviate from the default firewall rules??
Also you dont state which model of device you have??

There were no rules on the router. It was completely blank with no configuration. The router is a Mikrotik hEX

I did try, but I got this? [admin@BillHuston] > /ip firewall filter [admin@BillHuston] /ip firewall filter> add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="defconf: fasttrack" connection-state=established,related hw-offload=yes expected end of command (line 1 column 113) Can I ask w...

Hi Guys, Please go easy, I'm still learning... I have an issue where I'm only seeing half of the actual bandwidth when connecting to my mikrotik which is connected to a fibre modem. The mikrotik is doing basic NAT. If I connect my laptop to the modem directly and run a speedtest, every time I get 95...

Guys, Can anyone help? I'm not a network expert so I'm a bit lost. We just upgraded our core router from CCR1036-12G-4S to a CCR1036-8G-S2+ as we're using SFP+ on our network. I copied over the config from the old router and everything is working fine except for some multicasting that a couple of ou...

cinders

A simple hub works fine.

cinders

Glad to hear!

cinders

Both of them.

cinders

Should be fine.

cinders

Sure. I originally wrote this on 5.2 and have since upgraded to 6.1.

This works with APC UPS"s - Smart-UPS 1000VA, Also Back-UPS 500VA, 650VA.

cinders

Thanks for the reply Feklar. I'll give it a try a bit later.

cinders

Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

cinders

Guys, This does not make sense to me. It works one time (log file reports device changed), then when I test it again I get an output to the log file, script: no such item I run a netwatch script to disable the connection to the hotspot router if the internet goes down: Host 8.8.8.8 Interval 00:00:10...

cinders

Many thanks for the script above.

cinders

Tim,

Unfortunately it wouldn't work with the image files in the hotspot folder and trying to grab them from local host.

No problem, I put them on my Radius server and it works perfectly! Thanks again for the idea.

All the best,
Cinders.

cinders

No worries - I'll drop an update on this thread, thanks again for the great idea!

cinders

Tim,

That's a great idea!

Because the hotspot runs at http server, is it possible to download it from itself? i.e. 127.0.0.1 ?

cinders

Ah OK.

Thanks for the info. I'll start working on it.

cinders

Surely it would be easier just to change a single background image file each day?

cinders

Can anyone help me? I have no idea how I would do this via a script. I'm trying to write a script to daily change my login page background. The idea was to keep 30 small jpg files in \hotspot\img\background\ - The file names would be 1.jpg, 2.jpg - all the way to 30.jpg Currently my hotspot login us...

c0d3rSh3ll, Thanks for the help. It works great, however I'd like to modify it to do a little more. I messed around (took me 3 hours) and found a way to grab the variables I need.

Guys, Can anyone help? I'm trying to write a script that will notify me when there is a power failure and my UPS switches to battery. So far if I run the command: /system ups monitor 0 This brings up the UPS monitoring. There is a line in the report called "on-line:" which shows "yes&...

cinders

Thanks to Mikrotik support for resolving the issue.

It's an easy fix. Use a USB Hub between and it fixes the issue.

cinders

Anyone?

cinders

I really need to set a warning system up to tell me when any of my sites switch over to UPS power. I bought a RB951G-2hnD because of its USB port and connected my APC Back-UPS CS 650 to it. Unfortunately when I do this, the USB port itself disappears completely from the USB menu and is no longer lis...

cinders

Thanks mate!

cinders

Is it possible to connect the USB cable from an APC UPS to a Mikrotik RB450GL or RB750GL so that I can get an e-mail notification of power failure?

cinders

Done!

cinders

That's great. Thank you so much. It is working well!

cinders

Can anyone help me? I was wondering if it's possible to run a netwatch script to ping my primary radius server and if it is down, change the IP to my backup radius server. From my config export... /radius add address=172.16.100.1 secret=**** service=hotspot timeout=3s I would like to change the addr...

I'm banging my head against the wall with this one. I have set up PPTP server on a CentOS box. Unfortunately it's behind a NAT router. Anyway, I can connect via internet no problem with a windows machine. However, when I try on a mikrotik box it fails. It says connection established but freezes. I'm...

Is it possible to set up the hotspot so that if the radius server is down, the whole system is open for everyone to access? I work on an island where the infrastructure is very unreliable. There are times when the internet is working, but our radius server is down. This doesn't happen very often, bu...

cinders

Has anyone seen this problem? It happens randomly on my network to clients. I'm running PPTP Client on several Mikrotik boxes. After 5 minutes the connection will drop, re-dial and connect again. This keeps happening in a loop. However if I delete the connection, re-add it, it works fine. It is not ...

Can anyone help? Last night an RB450G on site stopped working. The unit is fed from a UPS so no power surge. Anyway, it powers on with a single beep, then can see the LED indicating it's loading. All ethernet ports light up, then nothing. No ethernet light when plugged in to any of the lan ports. Is...

cinders

Actually, my mistake. I didn't realise this had to be the first rule. Doh!

cinders

T H A N K Y O U

It worked!

I had already tried different versions of this with no joy. However the "hotspot=auth" seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much.

cinders

I've played around with settings for hours and with the hotspot enabled, the MTU is always set to 1500 and MTU 1460.

It seems the hotspot settings override the settings for PPPoE Client.

Can anyone advise how I can set MTU to 1480 with hotspot enabled?

cinders

OK. I used http://www.speedguide.net:8080 using the same fiber line on the system at works and on my system with hotspot. These are the differences. The question is, how to I modify my hotspot set up to reflect the same settings? hotspot (pages don't load): « SpeedGuide.net TCP Analyzer Results » Te...

Hi Guys, I think I am having an MTU issue with Mikrotik hotspot and specific ISP's I am using here. With one ISP that uses ADSL and PPPoE, I have no issues. Pages load fine. With the others that use Fiber and PPPoE, I have problems with pages not loading, for example apple.com and yahoo.com won't lo...

cinders

No problem. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I created a script to include another WAN port and it works. 8 ) I'm going to look to do this using PPPoE Clients next, so I can put the modems in bridge mode and let the mikrotik do PPPoE. With regards to using src address, i'm guessing it goes in t...

cinders

both-addresses-and-ports:2/1 will become 3/2 and 2/1 will become 3/1 and so forth. First part is the amount of Wan's. Also both-addresses-and-ports will prety much break evry thing using secure ports, banks, games ext. src-port works.

Is there a way to do this so that https works?

cinders

Would this work? /ip firewall mangle add chain=input in-interface=WAN1 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN1_conn add chain=input in-interface=WAN2 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN2_conn add chain=input in-interface=WAN3 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=WAN3_conn ad...

Can anyone help me? I set up a RB450G to do load balancing between two WAN connections. It works fine. However, I would like to add a 3rd connection and a possible 4th.

Hi There, I'm looking for some help/advice about setting up a hotspot on Mikrotik hardware. I'm not looking for anyone to hold my hand and take me through this step-by-step, but just for some basic pointers. I'm eager and willing to learn everything myself. I'm running my current hotspots on DD-WRT ...
