ok i was able to get this to work. i dont know if it has any relation or if it is a possible solution for my problem. i can get what i want by running the command /interface wireless registration-table print count-only if i can get this into a label.... im happy :) is this possible or are we in the ...

i tried this one also (which i believe is the same) with the same results. [oid("iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.mikrotik.mikrotikExperimentalModule.mtXRouterOs.mtxrWireless.mtxrWlApTable.mtxrWlApEntry.mtxrWlApClientCount.12")] any recommendations or maybe another approach to be a...

as far as the output of the command /interface wireless print oid...

im guessing that the "0" is the physical WLAN interface, and the "1" and "2" are the VirtualAP interfaces.

maybe?

cgreen

yes i did ask in support.
the problem is that it wont work, it displays a blank space where the client-count value should be. i will attach a pic

Capture.PNG

did i miss something normis in the label syntax or does it look right.
i thought something like this would be simple.

im trying to read the client-count oid for a wlan virtual ap and display it as a dude label for a device. the reason im doing this is because we are using hardware that has 1 wireless card but we are broadcasting 2 SSID's so we do this by virtual ap's. MAIN GOAL:: i want to be able to see how many w...

cgreen

ok thank you very much. im at a stand still until i hear back from you.

cgreen

you lost me ....
i have no idea what you mean

cgreen

ok i got this far... i used the OID from /interface wireless print oid and applied it to the label as [Device.Name] [Device.FirstAddress] [device_performance()][Device.ServicesDown] Wireless Clients: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.5")] Wireless Clients: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1....

how do you configure wireless virtualap's in the terminal?

i have some code im trying to modify. it looks at registered users of the WLAN interface but i need it to show the registered user count associated with the VirtualAP's

any ideas??

for student access across campus i use the Mikrotik Metal 2.4GHz AP's. this device has 1 WLAN interface and 1 EHT interface. i create 2 VirtualAP's and use WLAN1 as the master interface. this allows me to create 2 different SSID's to broadcast, using different VLAN tags and security profiles. this i...

cgreen

ok how do you configure a virtual ap inside of router os or how do i make this work with virtual ap's . this would be perfect if i had multiple physical wlan cards but in the metal devices i only have one, hence the reason for the virtual ap's. i dont know how to add virtualap's in the terminal. i j...

cgreen

ok... let me give that a try.
i dont care if it shows client connected count for each VirtualAP or it it shows a combined count of registered users.
either way is good with me.

I am trying to use a custom label for the wireless devices to show the number of wireless clients connected to the AP. The problem I am having is that we use VirtualAP’s to broadcast 2 SSID’s that students can connect to for different purposes. The label I’m using is… [Device.Name] [device_performan...

normis!!! any input on this???

i have multiple metal groove 2.4ap's on campus and we ran into a problem where we need wireless but cant run ethernet cable to the locations. that would be ok if we used a different model ap that had more than one antenna or radio but the groove ap's dont. i attached 3 screenshots of the setup. is t...

cgreen

that would be nice if funding will allow for it.
it is going to be a slow process to replace all of the low power HP access points with the Tik's.

cgreen

here is one more questions for the wireless guru's out there

is it better to run the AP in b/g mode or b only or g only

i dont care about the throughput so much as i do coverage and penetration into homes.
is one of the modes better than the others in that aspect

cgreen

have you ever heard of a low power (i think 100W) FM broadcast tower causing interference with 2.4GHz AP's. it seem like if i kill power to the transmitter the wifi starts working more reliable and clients get better signals. like i said earlier the tower is within a few feet of one AP and withing a...

cgreen

does it make more sense to use high gain antennas and turn the tx power down to keep it in the legal limits or is it better to use max tx power with a matched antenna to keep it in the legal limits. im covering 2 different types of areas. the first is inside of dorms where there are dorms with 16 or...

we have started switching over from HP M110 AP's on campus to the mikrotik groove 2.4 AP (the metal one @ 1.6W) i have noticed a issue today and am looking for an answer. when i login to see the registered clients it shows a few clients connected with what i consider poor signal strength (between -8...

i have attached a few pix of the current config to see if that would help

cgreen

ok will this work. i will refer to the AP with a wired connection as MAIN and the AP that i can not get a wired connection to as REMOTE the only thing that throws me off is that im not just broadcasting 1 SSID. i have 2 virtual AP's created bridged together with VLAN's to do tagging. could i setup b...

i have 2 of the groove metal 2.4 ap's. both are currently setup as AP bridges. on one of them i have a network cable running to it but at the other location i do not. i would like to use a wds link to join the two together. what is an easy way to do this. i am aware that the mt groove ap's only have...

right now im getting ccq 99/107 and around 30Mbps throughput. i also changed the band to 2.4N only.

just figured it out. the original config worked. the problem was is that i restored it from a backup. some of the settings were off so i had to correct them. weird!!

has anyone else had this problem with after restoring backup config file, some settings were corrupt??????

cgreen

look at the cut-sheet again. it is not 2 separate networks. it is just extending a network to a remote location using WDS.

cgreen

dont know if this is helpful or not but i was logged into device B and i can not ping (regular) the laptop (device D), but i CAN ARP PING IT!!

if anyone can think of anything else i can try to get connectivity end to end, Please let me know.

Thanks in advance

i forgot to mention the Rx/Rx CCQ is around 85 or so when data is passing through and it has a clear LOS
these are the antenna's im using BTW http://luxul.com/xw-24o-h13

at my job we have a remote location that needs to be connected to our LAN. i ordered 2 of the Groove A-2HN AP's and 2 helical antenna's. i set them up using the method described below.... original article ---> http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Transparently_Bridge_two_Networks Transparent Bridge, using...

scenario:: i have just ordered a groove A-2hn AP (631mW output) and a 15dBi omni antenna connecting the ap directly to ant. (no cable loss) using formula to calc EIRP i get 19.954 Watts EIRP = P ´ 10 dBi/10 (P = transmitter-amp power in Watts. dBi = gain in dBi - cable attenuation in dB. This result...

i have read all over this forum for 3 days now and all i can find is terminal scripts explaining how to do this. all i have ever used is the GUI winbox. im sure i will learn the command line of this OS but for now im in trouble bc i have customers that need public ip's and cant pass them through to ...
