Hello, I followed this guide to forward my WAN IP to my local NAS thatruns FTP server using Dovado AC router. https://operavps.com/docs/mikrotik-port-forwarding/ I also created firewall rule: dst 192.168.1.2 protocol 6 (tcp) dst port 20-21 in interface ether1_wan however I have this in log forward: ...

What speed for USB attached storage can I expect?
Since the mikrotik 750g r3 has dual core 800Mhz CPU can it be near 10MB/S

My old RB493g has 4MB/S up / down speed on SMB.

Any testing was done by somebody I can't find it?

On ROS 6.35.4 there is no system check-disk?
How do i check USB attached disk?

Hello, my old router SMC SMCWBR14-G has this WDS feature, see attached file. I want to still use the old router as repeater so that devices connected to it's LAN ports would see my network. As you can see the only configurable thing on this SMC is WDS address. How do I configure my Mikrotik to let S...

Including features in my post doesn't demand views to change or market change within a company. If you decide to include FTP, SMB in your products then they need to work. The only way to sync files for mikrotik is to use FTP not SAMBA, and use Syncovery to upload only changed files with zipping each...

Every normal router for the price of what mikrotik costs has USB port and FTP features. FTP is for just that FTP. Given the amount of routers with dual cores I would assume nobody would buy the crap that router can't handle simple FTP storage for home user or small office. I don't know what is micr...

Hello, looking forward to really basic features in new RouterOS 7 such as:

Features supported by FTP server (v6.35.4):

1 Can set file last modification date and time: No
2 Can set file creation date and time: No
3 Supports file hashing: No
4 Supports Unicode (UTF8): No

My router is model: RB493G, I have SMB share on USB.
I can copy, read, write files from windows 7 in my lan. But if I try the same with fastcopy or bvckup2 the folders are copied like files having zero size.

What is wrong?

Firmware latest, Router OS latest versions.

smilem

Well I have working internet connection, I had OS v6.4 now upgraded to v6.18 the manual way by uploading file using winbox Now the router looses connection to winbox after I click the "check for updates" button. The updates still never retrieved as the connection error still is shown. How ...

smilem

You do not provide any relevant details to help you.

Sorry, this should be "one click auto update", what details you need?
As I said if I need to create any rules I'm all ears.

smilem

Hello, The advert seems nice " If you are already running RouterOS, upgrading to the latest version is simple. Just one click, and RouterOS will find the latest version, show you the changelog, and offer to upgrade. You can do this from Winbox, console, Webfig or QuickSet. Simply click “Check f...

Also I would like to ask about port forwarding, on this guide they do not specify the dst address at all. Instead they specify WAN interface.

http://networkingforintegrators.com/201 ... g-example/

What to use and when?

smilem

Using your inside address is ok, you should add an additional NAT rule. Search Hairpin NAT Should I add: /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=[my PC IP address] \ dst-address=[the internal IP of FTP server] protocol=tcp dst-port=20-21 \ out-interface=[LANbridge ports 2-9] action=masquerade...

smilem

Change the destination address on the forward rule to the Public IP instead of the internal IP

Tried it, did not make any difference.

Hello, I have a problem that I can't access my FTP that is on my lan by using outside IP. I have to use the direct connection using my Lan inside IP.

Thank you for suggestion, I will use this next time but my questions remain unanswered.

Hello smilem, Without clear understanding..... ...please don´t touch each button!

What are those other settings?
Also if they make the connect button why not make "abort"?

Without clear understanding what was changed how to set ut back.

smilem

Why can't microtik like everybody else have integrated help for winbox with question mark that you drag to unknown things and short descriptions comes up???? Hello did only I seem to miss this?

smilem

Open the Wireless interface, and under the Wireless tab, change the SSID to something else.

I had to change my SSID back to original one, and change to "ap bridge".

So what does those buttons "connect", "use network" anyway?

smilem

Hello, I used mikrotik wifi scanner and selected some other network, i pressed connect by accident and now mikrotik wants to connect to hat network no matter what. even reboot did not help.

how to stop this?

smilem

Still need help

smilem

So can anyone knowledgeable help me with the script, I though i will be easier but it's harder to write than I thought.

smilem

Thank you for your script, do you have ideas about the tx power script I described on my post above or the
script to set wlan3 frequency same as scanned frequency http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63522

I'm trying to do something simmilar but the script does not scan for me when executed as script, and when executed from console I get this error: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63522 {... local mac "00:02:6F:6D:77:D1" {... local i [/interface wireless registration-table ...

smilem

We use dfs mode but some the different mikrotiks set themselves to different frequency for some reason.
So I decided to use one box as master and so set others the same by using a script.

smilem

I don't think so as we only use 1 card, the others are as backups.

smilem

Are you using 3 radio cards on to one routerboard?

Yes we use 3 R52nM they are low power 1.92W not 7W like R52Hn but they are not all enabled simultaneously.
found something simmilar here http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31644
perhaps someone can take a look at it.

Hello, It's frustrating to have to repeatedly do the same over and over again. so perhaps it can be autoamated. I to repeatedly log in to out mikrotik boxes and change the wlan interface frequency.

smilem

By the way if set to default doesn't the cards auto adjust the tx based on signal strenght from client connected? I thought that indoors usage clearly states that the card needs to auto adjust the tx.

smilem

I've got a couple of R52HN out there without issues. You mean the cards does not overheat? As far as running the card lower than max output, I do that with quite a bit of my equipment. am I missing something here, the R52nM is listed as 23dbm max, yet my card at default speeds tx is 20 chain 0 20ch...

Why does mikrotik list their antennas as 4dbi ant other sellers list them as 2dbi?
So what is the true dbi value?

http://landashop.com/catalog/mikrotik-s ... -1743.html

smilem

Don't look at just peak power, the R52HN has more power all the way across the band. I think the R52nM drops to around 11-14dB at the highest bitrate, R52HN is more like 17-20. Yes the R52HN is better about ~3dB, but I read that everybody has terrible overheating/stability problem with this card. O...

Hello, anyone compared the ACSWI/ACSWIM antennas? How do they compare to third party, D-link, TP-link, Sweex etc. Why Mikrotik orginal antennas are so short I mean 11cm come on it can't be 4dbi, 3dbi at best. I got these antennas because I could not source alternatives locally, but it seems I made a...

Hello, I need to replace a mikrotik router/wlan AP with another one. What wlan settings I need to clone for it to work without having all clients to reconfigure their connections?

So far I found these:

MAC

What is Radio Name?

Thank you the above commands work perfect. Is there a way (script command) to change the wlan card tx power?

Hello, is it worh to upgrade the R52nm to R52HN? I mean I need more tx power, but I only see 23 to 25 that is 2dbm increase?
