Re: Help configur my Ip settings for my radios please.

You are probably switching / bridging everything. But you have to implement nat with masquerade just behind the modem because you have more devices than your isp is willing to assign ip addresses to you. Sounds like a plan! so how to I learn hot to implement nat with masquerade? Sounds like thats w...

Re: Help configur my Ip settings for my radios please.

Nobody does not know? I assume I will set up a DHCP on my Radio A and set Radio B as Dynamic in this case. Where are the techs on this forum?

Re: Can't connect with Winbox

Be aware you can click on the Mac Address using winbox, Or the IP address. Whichever you click on. Also you might need to change your network sharing center connections. See http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=84903 on that. That can indeed effect it. Else, Reset your router and start...

Re: What is mikrotik?

You need to learn how to use CMD, command prompt to find the IP of your DVR. You can see how I do it here. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=84903

You may need to change some Network Connections to get there as mentioned in that thread in order to find that ip.

Re: How to weed out bad board?

It wouldn't work with the top screwed on. So I was playing around like an idiot with my fingers and I got full signal. After about an hour I learned that If I turned Chain 0 OFF and Chaing 1 ON then clamp the connector to chain 1 not chain 2 then the signal was 100 percent! YES, is it possible a cha...
