PAP is not for secure wireless. For hotspot, CHAP is better. But for really secured wireless service, WPA or WPA2 with 802.1x authentication is much better. I believe Mikrotik can do this. It requires some configurations on radius server that allow this type of authentication, such as certificate ge...

I have been told that v3.x will pass SSID to RADIUS. Can anyone confirm this? I am trying to prove it myself currently...

For Virtual AP, Each SSID should be able to pass to RADIUS per Congdon, right?

The question is still not answered.

Is overclocking the Mikrotik to 399 MHz recommended?

Jin

We have links that keep CCQ values above 80%. Is it good? What's Mikrotik's recommended value for a reliable link?

Hi, All: I have a camping ground that I want to provide broadband internet access. First of all, I want to determine how many APs do I need. I know it depends on many factors such as radio cards and antenna. Any guideline for calculating this? The radio cards I am considering is either CM9 or SR bas...

nice picture, abyss. How do those radio cards taste? Did you "fry" them?

Jin

It worked for me. Do you have an email address?

my vlan configuration

Hi, firebat: If I trunk the two network traffic through ether3 with certain bandwidth, and I want to split the total bandwidth between two networks, i.e. 50% of bandwidth is allocated for one network, and the other 50% for the other network. How do I accomplish the bandwidth spliting for trunked two...

Hi, Juibar:

I did the vlan setup based on firebat's idea. It worked fine for me.

Hi, firebad: According to your setup, both ether1 and ether2 are untagged ports, and ether3 are tagged port with vlan id 1 and 2. What if there are already tagged traffic in network1, will those tagged traffic get dropped coming into ether1? Is there a way to make ether1 and ether2 tagged ports inst...

How about the frequency scan in Mikrotik? Have you tried it?

uldis, 19+5= 24 dBm, but for which data rate? You know for SR5, the maximum power is different for each rate. For example, in spec 24 dBm is 36 Mbps. If tx-power=19 is used for 54Mbps, adding 5 dBm more, the final tx-power is larger than 21 dBm according to the spec for 54Mbps rate. Please elaborate...

using 2.9.27, current-tx-powers: 6Mbps:19,9Mbps:19,12Mbps:19,18Mbps:19,24Mbps:19, 36Mbps:15,48Mbps:14,54Mbps:13 same issue here... how do you know the SR5 is working at allowed full power? If you set power manually, don't overdrive the radio card. You have to set the power lower than the specs by a ...

Mikrotik, Is there revision on the routerboard532 that will change the switching power supply design?

For SR5 card, I have observed the similar reading.

~20 dBm for 54 Mbps. However, 'interface wireless monitor' shows only 13 dBm for 54 Mbps. Why is the difference?

Thanks, Eugene. Let me show my implementation on TTS using PCQ for equal bandwidth sharing. Please comment. / interface bridge add name="bridge1" / interface bridge port add interface=ether2 bridge=bridge1 add interface=ether3 bridge=bridge1 /queue type add name="pcq-upload" kind...

I have studied the Transparent Traffic Shaper (TTS) on wiki. A few questions come up. Why prerouting chain is used instead of forward chain? Is it because of bridging? What kind of queue do you recommend for TTS? Can I implement PCQ in TTS? I believe queue tree can't be implemented because the top-l...

I have also used Net-SNMP to retrieve those oids without success.

Anyone having success accessing those OIDs?

Thanks. I have to turn on the remote unit first.

Based on my calculation, 4 CM9s consumes less than 6 W. RB532 consumes 3 W maximum without extension cards. Assume the daughter board consumes little power (I don't know the exact number. Anyone?) A standard 12V, 1000mA power adapter is fine. However, if you use 4 SR2s, then the total power could be...

I configured two WRAP.2cs with RTOS v2.9.24 following the WDS station example shown here . When I enable the Nstream and polling on AP, the link is dropped. Why is that? Is the example not a transparent bridge? how do I create a PTP bridge with nsteam enabled? The picture shown in the example lets m...

Just curious about what authentication methods are being used by MT router users... It seems that 802.1x wasn't implemented by MT. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=4840&highlight=802+1x What about now? I notice that EAP-TLS is only EAP based authentication implemented by MT. What about ...

Apparently Modernbill has a Radius module but I don't know anyone using it. I attempted to configure modernbill with freeradius server module. But it seems that MB doesn't do much beside inserting new users. Freeradius has to monitor user's time usage. I would like to know if anyone has success imp...
